I think we've seen enough over the last few years to know that nothing the NY Times reports about Democrats should be trusted.

I loathe this lazy entitled trash more every day and I still don't believe he'll serve a full term.

I think many of the reports about Feinstein and her health are true (I don't believe the claims from her money-grubbing ex aide who got feted by the Beltway), but Republicans have made it clear they won't accept anyone in her place on the Judiciary Committee. Democrats have to have her casting those votes for as long as she can. That so many of the "DO SOMETHING" leftists object to this tell you that they are bad actors and not genuinely interested in moving this country forward.

[Wendy]

Yawn. She can't do jack schitt. This is just more performance theater for the knuckle-dragging MAGA cult.

Disappointing to see that the state legislator in Nebraska who got attention over filibustering hate legislation is another Sinema/Fetterman/Squad type optics/attention whore. Just another reason to be wary of hero worship for politicians.

Relevant to both threads, I think:

It’s possible that this was discussed in the thread while I was away but has anyone seen the PBS Frontline documentary on Clarence and Ginny Thomas? Quite a doozy.
