We have just 10 months until midterms, it’s time to re-orient our thinking. We learned in 4 years of Trump that the presidency has tremendous power-Biden should start enacting BBB through EO‘s. This will give enough time for them to take affect & show the American people results.
Schumer‘s people told me it would pass before August break. They told the indivisible groups in NY by the end of Sept. They just cannot get it done, and many of our Democratic Senators lack the urgency needed for the time we are in. We need to get on another path starting now.
I know executive orders are not ideal, but what Biden has proposed is tremendously popular, and will also help us in midterms and help him get reelected. If these steps are popular with the American people, which they will be, they will not be overturned by the next president.
Credit where credit is due: the EO’s are @RepJayapal’s idea, which I tweeted about earlier, and it is a good one!
Even though so many have been agitating for it, the Senate Democrats are not going to replace Schumer as leader, even though he is failing in the job. It’s collegiality over country. It’s time we consider other paths with 10 months until midterms.

Who else has lost all remaining empathy for the freedumb anti-vaxxers at this point? ✋
These ignorants are a small, and shrinking part of our population.

Let them have their freedumb at home. Do like NYC, and ban them from concerts, restaurants and other indoor events.
454 MILLION vaccine doses have been safely administered in the US. 454 million! If you're still too freedumb to get one, it is what it is for you.

Kind is a disappointing finale for #themorningshow. You write out Laura in the midst of Bradley's family crisis (she said set boundaries, not cut off family), and raise up Cory who outed her as a good guy savior? Way to end with hetero-normative instead of being forward.
I am here to help consult for any showrunner who wants to write a real story about lesbians/bi women in their 40s and 50s with high EQ's and the struggles of our generation coming to terms with our sexuality. It would have a huge audience.

I believe our party is pretty united - and last night wasn't a far-left or moderate thing. But we need leadership who can get it done. BBB and Infrastructure should have been negotiated and passed before August recess. We should have been focused on voting rights in the fall.

There also needs to be accountability & consequences. Can't tell you the amount of times I hear from our voters how we worked to take back our government, but nothing is happening. People do not feel safe. Biden needs to fix this - maybe change AG. We need public hearings.

2/
There needs to be a sense of urgency from our elected Democrats. There is way too much complacency, which led to voter apathy. Why do you need so many long recesses? Stay in DC and pass things so the voters who worked to get you there feel seen and their issues addressed.
