Only 9% of Americans support naming government buildings after Trump. More people believe the Earth is flat. More people think the moon landing was faked. Trumpโs vanity campaign for the Kennedy Center and federal buildings ranks below two of the most mocked conspiracy theories in America ๐

If Steyer was smart, he would do his best to get past Hilton so we would have two dems to choose from in November. All he is doing right now is giving the GOP ammunition for the general election. I voted yesterday for Xavier - he exudes calm, confident, and competent leadership.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.
