Republica-led Senate

Her infamous DNA test wasn’t just poor optics, it was deeply offensive to many indigenuous people.

I am confused on how this article was written in April 2019, which is

Thank you for discussing leaked content rather than just reporting that leaked content exists.

It would actually require bipartisan effort for the US to make comprehensive immigration reform happen. Bipartisan effort is not something that anyone is interested in, so, let’s just kick the can down the road for a few more decades and see what happens.

Right. At least in this state, there’s at least two immigration court justice appointments that need to be filled by the Executive Branch, which had candidates submitted by federal legislators ~10 months ago, and which are still unfilled. There’s all these small and large ways in which the incompetence of the…

State Republican parties have been pointing to this situation as evidence that Trump’s ridiculous border wall (and his pointless national emergency declaration) is needed. But the wall would be a bandage on top of a bleeding wound: these families fleeing Central America would still be fleeing, they’d just be forced to…

I don’t believe so but there are significant differences in interpretations.

treating large groups of people as monoliths is like, the only thing keeping Splinter’s editorial ethos about how the world works functioning

The people blogging are nobodies like all of us in the comment section.

The narrative that Splinter is a “new audience from scratch” only works if Fusion.net, I mean, sorry, Splinter, didn’t exist before July 2017. But I seem to remember another member of the Splinter staff recently making the claim that Splinter couldn’t have a political opinion back in 2016 because it didn’t exist back…

In public discourse it’s really difficult to talk about a religious tradition (of 1.1 billion people around the world? let me check that number, yikes I’m wrong, 1.8 billion people) as a monolithic unit. Splinter takes time to discuss how the indigenous people of America don’t all have the same opinion about issues,…

Conservatives are very interested in ignoring all of the good things about California, e.g. the near-future California state surplus of $29.3B is a heck of a lot more money than New Mexico has to throw around

Who might run to replace Udall, if we have that info.

I won’t pretend that I agree with Tom Udall on everything but I think he’s been a fairly good Senator for my state. I’m hopeful that New Mexico can elect another left-leaning Democrat to replace him.

PS the usefulness of this article is immediately undermined by its second sentence. Congrats, I guess?

Dang I’m sorry that Kinja troll Trogdor the Burner decided to show up in the comments on this article.

the Republicans can hammer them in subsequent elections for voting in lockstep with the dastardly cow-hating, train-loving Maoist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Journalism, no matter how much you may despise individual publications such as SplinterNews.com, is a public good.

And the only way to get accountability in America—at least some small form of it—is from the people.

Holy cow this is an incredibly terrible idea. Here’s hoping that the DCCC “pulls a DCCC” and changes their mind in response to critical feedback.
