  • With Republican obstructionism, the only way for Democrats to get anything done is to control the House, the Senate, and presidency.

    Actually, the Democrats would need more than just to control the Senate. They need 60 seats or they need to throw out the filibuster rule. Without one or the other, a single Republican senator can pretty much tank any legislation.












  • Republican National Committee spokesperson Anna Kelly, speaking on behalf of the Trump campaign, did not directly respond to the Whitewater officials’ repudiation of Trump’s claims, but said “Local officials in communities across the country have sounded the alarm about problems caused by Kamala Harris’ open border.”

    Please provide the names of the local officials and list the evidence they provided to support their claims. I’m sure such a request would be met with silence, but even if this Anna Kelly person did provide the names of some MAGA zealots who would make these claims, I am quite certain that any evidence they provided would be of the sort Trump’s people have provided to support his claim that he won in 2020, that is to say, non-existent.






  • He says the fact that the court got involved on a case like this at the last minute means they don’t plan to be sitting on the sidelines. It shows they’re willing to be involved in some of the minutia of running an election. And we know a lot of litigation is headed their way this election season.

    I have long been saying that the plan is for SCOTUS to step in and declare the winner after Trump and his agents sew enough chaos, so it’s frankly terrifying to hear this comment from an election law expert. I’ve really been hoping I am wrong.
