Welker must answer that for herself, but as a practical matter, every Democrat candidate must be prepared for questions about Piker, the DSA, "how many sexes are there," and so many other issues that are not relevant to the daily lives of voters.

No, no, no. Primary season is over. Democratic candidates must each carefully read their own room, and each do what they must to get elected.

Johnson is likely to refuse to seat any Democrat member whose election someone deems “disputed,” whatever the reason. As he has already shown his willingness to do so in the case of Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, last year, NO ONE has the right to feign surprise when he does so again in January.

Many thanks for the clarification. So do you have a list (or a link to one) that is either official or authoritatively sourced?

I didn’t see your original post, and don’t see your point. It seems to me that Trump is indeed a pariah.

Patrick M Dennis, MD @patrickd314.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I believe that the original problem was that someone decided to assign the unfavorable-sounding term “deficit” to money, rather than to goods. If our imports were referred to as a “surplus,” or “positive flow of goods,” perhaps the 1980s Donald would not have become obsessed with trade imbalance.

Ironically, it's doubtful that Trump read them; they are longer than anything he's ever been reported to have actually read.

I don’t think you’re being honest. It’s more “fun” for you to recount Trump admin atrocities, most of which Bluesky readers are quite aware of, and which you can do nothing to assuage, than to acknowledge and discuss Democratic problems, which you can at least make an effort to sort and resolve.

Well, I know about refractive error, but nothing about ATC. The stated requirement would exclude maybe 5 to 7 % of applicants. At first glance, at least, it looks reasonable enough.

When the appropriation is facilitated by an authoritarian government as a matter of policy, it comes pretty close.
