What was at threatened in 1/6/2021, and at stake every since is Friday's survival, jeopardized by racist violent extremists. So for McConnell to whip votes against the Truth Commission as a "personal favor" is endlessly offensive and disgusting.
What the hell does personal favor have to do with the survival of a nation, unless his racist hubris places personal politics, profit and thirst for power above everyone else. The act of whipping votes for personal favor amounts to sedition, and it's as sick as it is treasonous.
It has always been a stunt with the republican leadership. Republicans have been offered everything that they said they wanted, and now the still balk. That's because agreement, resolution, and truth were never the goal. Only destruction.

Are you catching on yet America?
...every since is [democracy's] survival...

That makes all the difference in the world. 😒😣

There is nothing, NOTHING, more important than defending the country from threats foreign or domestic. That includes insurrection, armed rebellion, and attempted coups through election theft. If this nation is not protected first and foremost, then none of other niceties matter.
They won't even exist. Therefore, it's inexcusable that cowardly republicans and at least one democrat escaped DC to avoid doing just that, dodging and evading their sworn oaths in the process.
So consider this: We require our servicemen and women to miss anniversaries, birthdays and even the birth of their children when they are serving in defense of the nation.

Ending qualified immunity is a must. It should be non-negotiable. What is as equally important is the establishment of a nationally unified process to remove the investigation, indictment and prosecution of police criminality from local prosecutors and the police themselves.
Every state should be required to establish an independent entity to perform these investigations and prosecutions. When the state police and state attorneys general are involved the independent entity should perform those investigations or refer them to the DoJ.
Additionally, when police have been accused of criminal acts against other persons including assault, murder, or other civil rights violations, unions must be removed from the process so that the criminal process proceeds.

All republicans who are upset about MTG's comments about Jews need to shut all the way the hell up.

You pretend you haven't heard the antisemitism from your own party since before Charlottesville yet you were silent. MTG is the same as those people who marched with torches.
MTG and the racists and antisemites are taunting the GQP, daring the party to do something about it.

They know that the GQP won't. They know that at their hearts, the GQP supports antisemitism and racism.

So, let's just be real about it.
And the antisemitism that she and the GQP trade in is every bit as reprehensible as the racism that the GOP invokes and promotes against black and brown people all the time. The only reason the GQP us upset is because of the fake religious kinship they have with Israel.

There was no voter fraud. Barr, Wray, and Krebbs, all said it, and they're all republicans. So did every Sec'y State in America. Yet the Heritage Foundation has helped 47 states write, and some pass, almost 400 voter suppression laws based on a lie.
And their accomplices , the GQP, is doing everything possible to obstruct. The republicans are dead wrong about the lie, but they are dead serious about what they're doing.
Meanwhile, democrats are negotiating with themselves to pass just two as if they have all of the time in the world - and they're still at an impasse with themselves. For some, there is no sense of urgency. No crisis of Democracy.

PERSPECTIVE:

For as brave as Liz Cheney has been in standing up against her own party, we can't lose sight of the fact that for the entire previous 4 years, she supported everything about Trump and the GQP.
So while she should be commended for doing the right thing now, she's part of the reason for her own expulsion from leadership. She has hoisted herself on her own petard. Cheney now claims she intends to defend democracy.
But ironically, she was silent through all of the previous threats to democracy through and because of Trump's history of interactions with Putin. The fact is she is an avowed conservative, and she has committed to remain just that. To be clear, she may hate Trump, but is GQP.

Many folks seem to be freaking out because the 266,000 jobs created in April is extremely far below exoectations. One seemingly question is why are expectations so high in the first place? Apparently, some folks simply expect the economy to come roaring back.
That is simply naive and unrealistic. But now to facts.

Prior to the #COVID19 economic collapse, two thirds of all jobs created in the US were created by small businesses.
In addition, many small businesses are, and were, created and run by women, many of whom have been forced out of the employment market because of #COVID19.
