Moving the Space Force HQ to Alabama? I hope Dems are keeping a list of all of the unnecessary and extraordinary spending being done by this administration. Repubs need to have their noses rubbed in the current mess when they try to choke Dems spending efforts to fix what’s being destroyed.

It’s the pivot after running on "Trump will be a dictator" to “now we’re looking for bipartisanship” and confirmation votes for some of the early though awful picks that had me reeling. The fact that btwn 6 nov - 21 jan they had decided on an opposition plan of passive resistance was stunning.

I really resonated with his comments. I thought they were fair, thoughtful. Dems have been slow to fight. Their early cries for bipartisanship were shocking to me. My own Senator Schiff voted to confirm Rubio. The collective refusal to endorse Mamdani is problematic. Ali was spot in this context.

He regularly highlighted Biden’s accomplishments. This is simply not true. (It feels like many of these commentators don’t watch the show so they don’t know.) There’s an authoritarian in the WH but y’all are bashing the guy who’s thoughtfully encouraging dems to fight or get out of the way.
