This is pathetic. So is Feinstein’s statement. Look how aggressively Republicans act on voting rights and abortion. Democrats need to do that too. Hold hearings on the Supreme Court. Hold a vote on an ethics bill. If it fails, say Republicans are ok with corruption.

Absolutely right. Not holding the vote on the grounds that it won't pass lets Republicans off the hook for creating exactly that situation. https://t.co/vbSTi9SIc7

More like begging than demanding. Roberts won’t do anything because Durbin asks.

— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) May 4, 2023

How is this ominous for the GOP since DOJ and Congress will do nothing? Of course, corruption will continue since nobody will hold the Court accountable.

Analysis: Elected officials from safer seats are more likely to hold extreme ideological positions, meaning that a Boebert should be more moderate than a Greene. But over the past 50 years, House Republicans moved right regardless of how safe their seat. https://t.co/Gnlk06drfG

Richard Neal, who led the effort to investigate Trump’s tax returns and the IRS’s presidential audit program, said he is introducing a bill that would legally require the agency to audit every president within 90 days of taking office.https://t.co/gqcZkEt549

The House passed a bill today that would require annual audits of the president’s tax returns, codifying IRS policy after a congressional committee revealed that the agency did not audit former President Trump during two years he was in office. https://t.co/4AJbKnBfQi

A bad sign: Even as Republicans openly threaten debt limit extortion next year, pessimism is mounting that Dems will disable it during the lame duck. Aides tell me they're skeptical Manchin and Sinema will do this in reconcilation, because it's "partisan."https://t.co/sghf1OAOFm

Republicans are now openly vowing to weaponize the debt limit next year. The danger is clear: A MAGA House can threaten default as leverage against investigations of Trump.

Dems can act to stop this in the lame duck. An expert lays out how in this piece:https://t.co/22NRonkmUo

GOP leaders, congressional aides and business groups are preparing for a potential "nightmare scenario" next year if House Republicans take back the majority: a debt limit showdown reminiscent of the near-crisis in 2011. https://t.co/ShKgJAgm6B

The lack of urgency by Democratic leaders over this issue is baffling and maddening, and could lead to a catastrophic outcome

Republicans are actively preparing for shutting down our government should they win Congress this November.

The shutdowns will happen until all investigations of Trump are defunded.https://t.co/X07WXFPJNp

Remember this?
"The nation is in the midst of the longest government shutdown in American history, and President Donald Trump is promising to keep it going for “months or even years” until he gets $5 billion to build a wall along the southern border."https://t.co/7JFsnq9MH4

Sure, I'm mad at Joe Manchin but don't let the 50 Republican senators who won't do anything about climate change off the hook. They're responsible, too.

— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) July 15, 2022

I don't only blame Manchin and Sinema. I also blame the 50 Republican Senators who won't protect abortion rights for women. They get a free pass when the media doesn't mention this.

— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) July 15, 2022

Don't forget the 50 Republican senators who don't want to do a damn thing to prevent climate change.

— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) July 15, 2022

Excellent point. Everyone focuses on Manchin and Sinema and gives the 50 Republican senators a free ride. https://t.co/ZFNzgdkk9M

— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) July 15, 2022

No, it's not just one senator. It's one Democrat and 50 Republicans. Republicans should not escape blame for this.
