A 50/50 split took away the republican majority. It didn’t create a democratic one and most certainly didn’t create a progressive one.

Even more important than police reform — ELECTIONS. Want to still have a democracy in 5 years?

it’s a FEATURE

Hell, the Overton window is so far right that the mainstream Democratic caucus is basically the 1980s GOP.

Should people be disappointed/frustrated, etc? Absolutely. We didn’t elect Biden and give the Dems a majority just for them to cave into conservatives in their own party. Should anyone be surprised? Nope.

The FBI released their report that white supremacists are “infiltrating” law enforcemenet. “Infiltrating”? That’s like breaking into your own house.

Now THAT’S a Jalop story!

Oh no!  We won’t get to hear her shred the truth for 10 - 14 days?  Bummer. 

Cameron has said that the jurors were free to pursue additional charges
