That will eventually happen but it won’t be over the minimum wage. We should do it in order to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. That should be the first priority.

It means I’ve spent years watching progressives call Democrats pussies and saying they should “fight harder” or a “take a stand” or “do something!” even when we all knew Republicans would kill it. I’m just holding them to the same standard.

So now we can actually acknowledge that Republicans exist? Good to know.

We should do EVERYTHING we can to keep our promise, deliver a $15 minimum wage, and give 27 million workers a raise.

Has he said that he will vote yes on her confirmation? I can’t see where he has. 

Why not?

No. You are wrong for wanting an apology.

If your policy is to kill and rape women, then that’s how the implementation of policy works.

I’m going to say it again...

Now, they’re pulling in over $150,000 a month.

That’s not a policy stance. It’s the erasure of NYPD Islamophobia.

Will she?

Knock yourself out.

IUDs have to be implanted by a gynecologist so...no.

I’m happy that Vance has Trump’s tax records but I’ll be happier when Tish James gets them.

Also—and this is important—progressives like Young, and really aren’t a fan of Tanden after one of her tweets bashed progressive leader and king Bernie Sanders’ push for a $15 minimum wage.

Noted. If he wants to play “independent” by voting with Republicans then he should go ahead and do it. 

Biden has already said that if Tanden gets voted down, he will find her a position that isn’t Senate confirmed so he has no reason not to let this go to a vote. If Manchin and Sanders want to vote down a nominee from their party’s president, then they will have to go on record and own it.

Perfect. The Easy Rawlins series is perfect and this is definitely the cultural moment for it. It will be interesting to see the casting and who the director is. It will be tough to find someone to do Mouse justice after Cheadle’s performance.

I’m not seeing any reason to believe that Haaland’s confirmation is in danger. Manchin has already supported it. I wouldn’t be surprised if Murkowski did too given the Native population in Alaska. As you say, Don Young is Haaland’s champion.
