Even if Difi is out, we have the majority with Kamala. Plus, we can filibuster, too. Or, Joe could kill it. It ain't going nowhere.

trying to get more tax cuts for their donors. Oh, and comedy relief when the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene demands decorum on the House floor. I knew the 118th House would be an unmitigated disaster, and sadly I was right. We all were.

They can try it all they want.

Getting it past the Senate and Biden, too, won't happen.

We need to stop panicking about whatever the traitor House does since we have sane backups now to stop the worst of their traitorous antics.
