“In recent years especially, more and more celebrities [...]” I feel like this thought should have included mention of #ShoutYourAbortion [1] and the like. Especially when presented by the the extremely online.

I’m reminded of the fact that Republicans don’t tend to view these sorts of things as problems unless they’re actively impacting them personally, and then it’s someone else’s fault for not having solved it for them

I suppose so. Please feel free to explain why my response was inappropriate, because from here it looks like you’re trying to asshole your way through the discomfort of finding yourself adjacent to an acknowledgment that racism is a thing, which is, unfortunately, a pretty common reaction.

Please. Everyone from Sedrick Altheimer to Ed Troyer knows that Steve Miller just made the place up to rhyme with “Arizona” in “Rock’n Me”.

In fairness, how else could the Republicans possibly get rid of Santos?

One of the reasons the Speaker has been considered such a powerful position is you can do most anything in the House with a quorum and a simple majority.

Just a quick reminder: It is ranked choice voting, not “the rank choice”

“What in the HELL do these putzes know about Female Reproductive Care???” That it’s icky and the fairer sex ought not have to worry their pretty little heads about it?

In fairness, as noted “singer” Lara Trump caterwauled, “there ain’t no easy way out”.

Unfortunately, another case of things working exactly as intended.

While I wouldn’t rule out the 118th Congress having a Speaker Jeffries, I believe the Dems are more pragmatically looking to change the rulesto allow themselves to do some needful (but not exactly progressive) work by empowering the center of the chamber over the fringes.
