Absolutely no one should cover his statement. The only thing coming out of the WH is propaganda.

Isn’t a pocket recession functionally equivalent to a line item veto? Which has been ruled unconstitutional by the USSC.

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1970: As many as 20,000 women protest in the Women’s Strike for Equality in New York City, with more throughout the U.S. The event was held on the 50th anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the constitutional right to vote. /1

Registration doesn’t matter. Texas has more registered Dems than GOP and is solid red. These stupid stats are not an accurate means of forecasting how someone would vote. Voting matters- not whether you are registered Dem or GOP

You left Dems for what? The GOP? Expecting perfect alignment is why Dems cannot hold a large enough coalition to win. There has to be some compromise for the greater good. If one issue is enough to vote against the Dems, the. You never really believed in the Dems values in the first place.
