Time to call your Senators and tell them they need to vote for a change of leadership. This broken feckless shell of a man cannot meet the moment


Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

— Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching, Verse 9

White House press corps is an embarrassment from top to bottom: sleazy right-wing propagandists and hapless "mainstream" orgs.

ok, entonces entiendo que fue usted el autor. Desafortunadamente, las comparaciones con el “otro” draft pro independencia no se van a hacer esperar, y la baja calidad de este documento no ayuda a que se tome en serio.

This is a wholly-owned Republican bill; all of the power in this country is currently wholly owned by the Republican party. [...]. Please do not help them in their efforts. You are worried about being blamed for the shutdown. If you make common cause with the fascists in their desire to kill American democracy by helping them pass this bill, history will blame you for that.'
