With the passage of the national security supplemental bill through the House of Representatives on Saturday, Punchbowl News noted today, President Joe Biden became the winner of this Congress. When the Republicans took control of the House in January 2023, they vowed to impeach Biden and members of his Cabinet, overturn the signature legislation the Democrats had passed in 2021 and 2022, and force the Democrats to accept draconian immigration policies.
Agree with your statement that Biden is the winner of the Congress, but on behalf of programs that benefit the American people, the middle class, the environment, the economy, jobs, student debt, and the firewall against authoritarianism and Russian aggression that is Ukraine’s fight.
He’s winning, but for the team. Trump only likes winners, he has said. His heroes don’t get captured, unlike war hero John McCain.
I feel a moment of severe reckoning coming for DJT, as his stock plummets and the courtroom fills with a symbolic fetid air.
He’s going to look up and see he’s been defeated yet again by an actual winner, a man who pulled through personal tragedies to keep serving his country, to remind us of the greater generations from whence we came.
It's a pretty stark choice, isn't it? President Biden, who has been responsible for meaningful change that benefits the majority of Americans now and moving into the future, versus a man who is sitting at a defendant's table in New York in the first of several trials. It's also a choice between Democratic Congress, which not only has sent much-needed legislation to Biden for his signature AND has helped Speaker Johnson -- a unique moment in history -- versus a do-nothing Republican House of Dysfunction.
Heather here well captures the momentum Dems have -- which the adults in the room have.
But two-thirds in, she also notes many of the ways the children have for continuing their hysteria -- at the state level, at the level of universities. And it's here, locally, across the U.S., that we can see it's really the dark money billionaires still nefariously at work. Heritage. ALEC. Claremont. And many more of the also dark money far-right foundations also colluding to destroy democracy, to take away women's and others' rights, to push for petty theocrats who push tyrannical packaging wholesale.
Heather's got it correct, on target, how Republicans in Washington are in disarray, led by white trash idiots like Marble Mouth Marge and philanderer of young girls Matt Gaetz.
But she also well concludes with the beginning of the trial of the fat orange guy trying crookedly to steal an earlier election. And good for Heather here, because she fingers again, exactly, perfectly, how it's the adults in the room we can count on.
“…despite a letter from the Republican governors of six southern states—Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas—warning the workers that unionization would stop auto manufacturers from expanding in their states.”
It would be interesting to see how many $ billions of federal funding from Biden’s programs are flowing into these states. I’m sure all these governors are taking credit for that as well. This needs to be called out daily.
It is so refreshing to hear news about a president who gets things done for Americans instead of one who can’t help but get caught with his big mouth open and his pants down . Thank you 🙏
I don't remember any other POTUS speaking so clearly and plainly in support of unions. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall anything so unambiguous.
Presidents always talk about being 'on teh side of Americans' in some way, but to be so clear about the role that unions play in national economic health as well as local and individual health, is so....healthy!
Conservatism is exhausted. The new New Deal coalition is coming together. The pain right now will prove to *be the political parturition of a new liberal era.
If actual Republicans had any honor they would form their own caucus in Congress, refuse to work with the MAGA extremists, and instead work with the Democrats to draft and pass centrist legislation. Oh, wait a minute, they just did that with the Security Supplemental. Now it's time to do it with everything else.
[Chip Roy] demanded one of them “explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done.”
Um, made the entire Republican majority look like a bunch of blithering fools who care more about Fox News sound bites, space lasers, and dating underage girls than they do about legislating? Oh, and kissing the butt of a criminally prosecuted former guy.
Joe Biden was the right person for the job in 2020 and remains the right person in 2024.
The GOP’s hold on the house is weak at best and all the democrats need is a very few old school republicans to create a bi-partisan majority.

Vote Blue.
Go Professor. Go Joe! Go America. Happy Earth Day. We love you.

God bless Earth Day, Heather Clark Richardson, Joe Biden, all the subscribers here and the United States of America.
Bad news for Republicans = Good News for America.

Pecker? (thinking in Wayne's World voice)....
With all these positive moves, why can’t President Biden see how wrong his policy is with respect to the Palestinians? When will the genocide cease?

That is a lot of s**t to absorb. Spot on. Spot on. Spot on…
