I mean, George Wallace won his gubernatorial election with the help of the Black vote precisely *because* he apologized and *did better*. He then went on to appoint more Black judges to the Alabama bench during his one term in the 80s than any other governor before or since. What a weird dig.

It might help if press acknowledged Senator Wyden getting anti-trans provisions removed from the Republican Budget & or that if any time this app discussed Rep McBride they didn’t act like she’s a blood traitor because of an article so poorly written it basically said the opposite of the transcript.

In the last few days Democrats broke Iowa’s state supermajority & Ernst bowed out of running for reelection, Senator Barrasso wrote an op-ed crying about how effective Schumer has been at blocking the admin, & DNCVC Kenyatta started a 105-mile walk to draw attention to PA GOP cutting transit funds.

Aside from how Obama is remembered, it's striking that Obamacare is basically the last serious presidential legislative agenda that wasn't just trying to contort an annual budget bill to fit in everything you can crowbar into it.

You imagine some politically correct leftist central bureau in DC, but decisions were made by a combination of confused/panicked CDC/WH staff recommendations,state and local health departments and school districts including some in very red areas. Trump was President when the protests started.

Good to see a bipartisan group of former CDC Directors raise alarms in the NY Times about RFK Jr. dismantling US public health. And I can’t help but feel frustrated that they didn’t do this last year when public health was on the ballot—nor did NYT frame it that way—when we had a chance to stop it.

Democrats dominated the black working class. Other working class people have no excuse whatsoever. Robert Reich blocked me over a decade ago on Facebook for pointing this out. The problem isn't "what should Dems do". It's "WTF is wrong with suicidally racist workers".

What? No. That's not how this works. Why do people lie like this? There is no mechanism that will force Republicans to vote for impeachment. Privileged resolutions only allow a vote to force it to go to committee, not be voted on by the house. And it still allows Johnson to refuse to vote.

One of the functions of "leftist criticism" of Democrats is to prevent productive criticism. Many of us objected to Biden's unwillingness to confront Netanyahu, but the media amplified noise of the people playing terrorist and chanting "Houthis Houthis make us proud" drowned us out.

If the "anti-genocide" protestors had specifically been trying to force the Biden administration to tolerate Israeli brutality in Gaza, they would have acted as they did. They took a cause that should have been easy to publicize in clear moral terms and associated it with a dumpster load of ugly.
