Yup. They always are. Until in the morning hours exhaustion replaces the lust to score points (can anyone remember a vote-a-rama “gotcha” that mattered?).

Sen GRAHAM previews the weekend consideration of the Inflation Reduction Act: "What will vote-a-rama be like? It'll be like hell."

BOOM! come the jobs. And once covid-wrecked supply chains recover and Big Oil price-gouging slows (check their profits!) things may get better still.

P.S. Here’s an appendix I added in an amicus brief of my own, highlighting the dark-money links among the “amici” in that case. Pretty amazing. Not disclosed.

At last people are noticing the dark money linking the “amici” the FedSoc justices follow, and the weak disclosure the FedSoc justices allow.
Wait til they notice the link to the dark money operation that stacked the Court with those FedSoc justices!

I will keep pushing for an investigation into this fraudulent, destructive lie. We have to defend the truth, because Trump Republicans have been spreading this falsehood for a long, long time.

Connect the dots: If you can drive election officials out of their jobs, if you can drive volunteers away from the polls, you then have vacancies - vacancies that the pro-Trump Election Integrity Network is training people to fill. That’s what’s coming.

What we are seeing from groups like Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network is deliberate, strategic lying, designed to whip up sincere popular antagonism. As a result, some election workers have gotten death threats and scary late-night phone calls. Many quit for their own safety.

CPI houses the so-called Election Integrity Network, led by Cleta Mitchell. Two years ago, she was on the phone with Trump as he pressured the Georgia Secretary of State to “find votes.” She’s continuing to try to meddle in free and fair elections today.

Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark, and Cleta Mitchell were all central to Trump’s coup. Now, they’re all part of the Conservative Partnership Institute – a hub of far-right groups described as a “full-service shop for pro-Trump Republicans.”

The Trump officials who planned the insurrection are still out there, and they’re working to undermine American democracy, intimidate election workers, and pull off another huge fraud. This time, they hope to succeed.

Here’s a thought: nothing prevented Trump White House from using FBI tip line information to direct FBI investigation away from percipient or corroborating witnesses.

The Inflation Reduction Act will lower costs for families while ensuring large corporations can no longer get away with paying nothing in taxes
Meanwhile, no matter how they spin it, Republicans are the ones planning to hike taxes on the middle class.

Connect the dots. The persistent Big Lie/ foments harassment of honest officials/ so dark money groups can install their own operatives. This is a playbook for election interference, and we have to be prepared.

Wow. Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is revealing that Alex Jones' lawyers sent him the contents of Jones' phone BY MISTAKE.
"12 days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of every text" Jones has sent for years.
"You know what perjury is?" the lawyer asks.

Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act very popular with American public — Republicans will oppose it for fossil fuel polluters, Big Pharma and billion-dollar tax avoider corporations.

“Fossil fuels make enough money to corrupt politicians, cause wars and bend public opinion through the brute force of a firehose of propaganda.” The falsity of Republicans on climate policy is a direct result: from “hoax” to “too expensive,” it’s been a cascade of industry lies.

Kansas is a flare of hope and courage. This is why Republicans move unpopular schemes through the Supreme Court – no voters, no accountability.

The Supreme Court has been captured by big special interests. Over & over again, the six Republican justices trample precedent to side with big right-wing donors. It’s a travesty.
