Continually disgusted not only by the blatant Islamophobia and racism, but also by the Republican Party’s embrace of Fine and his views. Utterly disqualifying in a United States Congressman, as it would be in any job.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

A while back I read that whenever there's a controversial vote in congress, a handful of Democrats vote to support the GOP. Democrats who aren't up for an election in a while. Different Democrats. Thus giving the impression that it is a minority, rather than the whole party. Is that accurate?
