      There have been some discussions this week about AOC running for Senate to take Schumer’s seat, however 2028 is a long time away.

          Maybe there will be enough support to replace Schumer as the Democratic Senate leader?

                I don’t think you realize what this “CR” codifies, this pretty much eliminates congressional oversight of the executive, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary.

                Anyone who has been relying on guardrails to save us, well the guardrails are gone. Any sliver of ambiguity has vanished, you ARE watching a coup take place in real time.

                    This was our last vote period. I would be surprised if there is anymore “voting” at all.
