I’m with Larry Tribe and Jamie Raskin on this one: Invoke the 14th, and tell the Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans to go fuck themselves. And if the lawless SCOTUS tries to interfere, tell them to go fuck themselves, too.
Twelve years after a Democratic president and a divided Congress reached a debt limit agreement after months of grueling negotiations, a similar dynamic has complicated the debt limit discussion. https://t.co/OR4RwXSkP4

God, I can’t stand Manchin. Via Rolling Stone:
SENATOR JOE MANCHIN, an alleged Democrat, went on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo — the Sunday morning equivalent of Tucker Carlson — and declined to identify as a member of the Democratic Party. That’s right, the senator who jokes with Republicans about switching parties, is now claiming he is an “American” instead of a Democrat.
“Do you still identify as a Democrat?” Bartiromo asked the senator at the conclusion of the interview.
“I will be involved in any way I can to help,” Manchin said.
“Do you still identify as a Democrat?” the host repeated.
“I identify as an American,” the senator replied.
Hope it was worth the money. https://t.co/0WwTVDztPx

The Supreme Court is about to strip women of their most basic rights, and senators think it’s the Supreme Court that needs protection. https://t.co/BWrpL79WBs

Republicans destroyed the tradition of consulting homestate senators on judicial nominations under Trump, so suck it. https://t.co/KcfvRcRFp1 https://t.co/b6HhHsLUTM

Cheney and Kinzinger both voted for Trump in 2020. It is incorrect to label them “anti-Trump Republicans.” They are anti-insurrection Republicans. (Which you would hope all Republicans would be, but here we are.)

Maybe @KyrstenSinema should have a talk with Kyrsten Sinema.
In this clip from 2010, she urges Democrats to stop “kowtowing” to moderate Joe Lieberman & to pursue a 51-vote Senate strategy.
Senator: now YOU are Joe Lieberman. pic.twitter.com/fPMgB5Ryk4
