BREAKING:

Today Mayor Mamdami announced the renaming and repurposing of Trump Tower. "This architectural monstrosity will be upgraded to meet all City and Federal Codes, rinsed from top to bottom, and converted into high quality, low income housing featuring, on the Penthouse levels, a shelter for the unhoused offering stunning views. We will add multiple emergency medical stations and free access legal support offices as well as Open 24/7 food banks -- stocked and managed by Dean & DeLuca -- throughout the building. And, beginning today, it will be officially known as The Biden Tower of Hope. Thank you."

At least the Senate Democrats are earning the money we pay them for their salaries.

As a history nerd, since all of this - including MTG's dick pics of Hunter - is in the official record, future Americans can read about how we almost lost it all. I'll be long gone, but when history students of the future dig in to all of this malarkey, I'd love to be there to see them collectively respond with a face palming WT every loving F?

We're going to win this y'all. It ain't over yet, and sure, it could get ugly, but we are going to win and we will show the world that in the end, with our backs to the wall, we will defeat DJT and preserve our democracy.

Isn't that why we're here? Isn't this why the USA exists? Yes, yes it is.

It's up to our generation to live up to this moment.

Sure, Senate Dems are pretty much talking to themselves in real time and few if any compromised media will cover this because they haven't yet figured out that getting on board with toppling this monstrosity will bring them more clicks and ad dollars than they could ever dream of. It's one of our jobs, as concerned citizens, to do our part in letting them know that.

starting to be jealous of other countries where their legislative members engage in fisticuffs instead of jokingly making wry comments about ever increasing authoritarianism.

I am jealous of countries that can have a vote of no confidence about the current leader

I'm jealous of other countries that have snap elections, and very short election seasons.

I’m jealous of other countries with a working legal system that’s actually able to prosecute criminals.

Elevating them to the presidency isn’t punishment enough?

I'm generally not a huge fan of the filibuster, but if done properly, it can be magnificent. This is one of those instances.

My brother said he got a notification from the local news station not to go out in the bay or the lake this morning. It's overcast right now, and it looks a bit windy, but otherwise it's not bad. Unlike when I had to walk to work this morning and it was raining and dark so it was hard to avoid puddles.
