Note 1: "Previously-bipartisan" because it had already passed the House on a 357–70 vote.

Note 2: Blaming Republicans because the 48–44 vote saw almost-entirely R votes against (exc. Independents Manchin & Sanders).

Note 3: JD Vance, who has spent the past couple weeks being weird about childless women, did not bother showing up to vote.

I don’t think this is people who withheld their vote also. I think the electorate is more right than ever and I think that is really scary. Trump didn’t just win, he exceeded his turnout pretty much everywhere and gained ground in a lot of blue states. Turnout was RECORD BREAKING this year and it was all for Trump. These are not margins from people who were democrats who didn’t vote or voted third party. These are margins from flipping voters, getting new voters and independent/on the fence voters.

I’m heartbroken because in my view the Democratic Party is already far far far too centrist if not just straight up right. I don’t know what the option is at this point because this is just going to push them more right because it seems like that is where the votes are! And I don’t want to continue to vote for a party that doesn’t reflect my political beliefs. I also don’t think there is a left majority in America anymore.

My life seems very silly and very small right now especially in comparison to the people who are suffering currently under a Biden administration and the people who may suffer under another Trump term. I desperately hope that the Democratic messaging was wrong and this term won’t be unique in any meaningful way. Straight up praying.

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:

Donald Trump’s “guilty” verdict on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial could make it harder for the Senate to get much work done in the next few months — at least, if a group of pro-Trump senators has their way. Eight Republican senators said Friday they would try to slow down the Senate’s business in response to the verdict. Unlike the House, the Senate runs its day-to-day business under small, temporary agreements between the majority Democrats and minority Republicans. It’s a system that can be undermined sometimes by even one obstinate senator.

“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways. As a Senate Republican conference we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart,” said the eight senators in a letter. Signatories included Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Specifically, the group promised three things: to not allow any increase in “non-security” funding or spending bills that fund “partisan lawfare”; to not vote for any of the White House’s political or judicial nominees; and to not allow faster consideration of Democratic legislative priorities “not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”

“Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable,” Lee said in a social media post about the letter. “We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand.”

8 felon-coddling Republican Senators signed a letter that they’ll muck up even more business in the Senate in protest of the guilty verdict handed down by a jury in the Trump business records falsification trial.

The 8 signatories are: Mike Lee, J.D. Vance, Tommy Tuberville, Eric Schmitt, Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott, Roger Marshall, and Marco Rubio.

Surprisingly, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton didn’t sign on to it.

I appreciate people posting optimistically about politics, genuinely, but it's also really hard to swallow as someone living in a red state that has been systematically destroyed over the last 8 years. Every time a general election is "not as bad as it could've been," Ohio goes for the most horrifying option, and people just go "eh it's a red state," and don't even acknowledge how insane the shift has been. Because it's shifted red HARD. Honestly think this state is a pretty good model of the growth of fascism in the US

as unlikely as it seems if trump gets elected maybe he'll do something really funny and immediately get impeached after getting into office

Fingers Pointing In The Wrong Direction 👉👈

I debated long and hard today about this post.  I thought maybe it would be best to just do a cartoon post, but that seemed like a cop-out in a way.  Several of the journalists and political analysts I follow such as Robert Reich, Steve Schmidt, Joyce Vance and others had written relevant pieces I could have shared.  Our friend Roger had written a very insightful post that I could re-blog.  But…
