The blue MAGA responses to this should be entertaining. 

I suppose progressives should also be thankful for the $450,000 that was moved out of the party’s coffers just ahead of the election specifically because the establishment Dems anticipated a loss and didn’t want progressives to have that money?  Is there anything you won’t shit on progressives for?

Democratic Party’s willingness to self-implode rather than cede any power to the left.

Have you literally avoided or ignored every bit of research and experience from around the world (including the U.S.) that refutes that particular Republican talking point? If so, that’s almost impressively stupid so congratulations I guess.

God, what an obsolete talking point. That myth has been refuted every which way since the 1990s. 

When the President is on the side of ‘reaching across the aisle’, there’s no chance of that happening. 

This bill is supported by 59% of Republicans. “They’re from red states” is absolutely not an excuse for any of them. They ought to be falling all over themselves to vote for it as is, yesterday. This isn’t taking away guns, or banning fracking, or defunding the police, or some other controversial thing. It is the…

What’s happening right now is unbelievable. Even recognizing how much Democrats can fuck things up, I never would have thought they could fuck up just passing one of the most popular pieces of major legislation in my lifetime (over 75% support overall, 59% OF REPUBLICANS support it) while Republicans are over there…

Unsurprisingly, in the desperate scramble to protect their egos, senators overlooked the more legitimate criticisms and concerns about Tanden’s nomination

Woman also thankfully wasn’t given a job because she spent a decade lobbying for military contractors and middle eastern nations to democratic politicians.

The issue is not that a path to redemption doesn’t exist, it’s that far too many people want instant redemption and/or redemption WITHOUT atonement or any consequences beyond issuing a boilerplate PR statement. Not one person stops to ask Leeann Tweeden or the numerous other women who alleged that Franken harassed…

Probably the logic at people who’d like to see a bit more fight on this is that notwithstanding that Sinema and Manchin have signaled they don’t support the minimum wage increase, if push comes to shove probably aren’t going to hold up passage of one of the most popular pieces of major legislation in recent history,…

McDonough isn’t just following the rules. She is interpreting a rule that doesn’t clearly dictate the outcome one way or another in this situation. That’s her job. So in a real way, she is the one who is making the rule, in the same way that the Supreme Court makes law when it interprets the constitution to decide…

They could study Neera Tanden. While I am disgusted the focus is on her “mean” tweets, Tanden is no ally of working people. This is one nomination scuttled that is a good thing.

Fight Club was the first movie that I thought was worthy of buying DVD (remember them?) so that I could watch it again. Yet I never did. But I did read the book shortly later.

The optics of turning down Tanden (an extremely online person who has demonstrated poor judgement in the past) for the Office of Management and Budget, an incredibly wonky position are way different than turning down Haaland (who went with Native concerns over a pipeline that most people agree was bad news bears) and…

Exactly. Best to go big.

I just find it disingenuous that we’re talking about Biden not being consistent on what exactly he’s been saying he’d do for almost a full year at this point.

According to Lending Tree as of January of this year, $10,000 cancellation will wipe out 35% of all current student debt and knock off at least 40% of another 27% — which accounts for 62% of all debt.

also worth mentioning that Joe Biden specifically helped create this problem with his 2005 Bankruptcy Bill that made it nearly impossible to discharge student loan debt via bankruptcy.
