41. She's right. I don't disagree.

We have an indicted criminal in the White House because we wasted four years playing old school politics as usual and never used the power we had to bring him to justice, which we certainly could have done, and no excuses will explain that away. That included knowing what a barrier the Supreme Court would be to all of this and not making a real attempt to get rid of them, or at least pack the court, and overturn Citizens United, the immunity rulings and overturning Dobbs, among other things.

People like Slotkin are leading the opposition. Millions are out in the streets, and while the polling data is favorable to Democrats right now, it's not anything close to what it should be.
