I have this flagged to read. How nice that consumer safety comes second to corporations and their profits.

This is interesting John Kasich has formed a center-right, Ohio-based group, Two Paths America, to promote solutions that he considers more positive than President Trump and more modern than Ronald Reagan. t.co/PQOdqg3mFNOne of the individuals he's tapped to be in this group is ex Governor Rick Snyder. I...have feelings about this.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court election didn't go the way I had hoped. The vote are close and I believe Neubauer can have a recount because it is less than a percentage point apart. I know this tweet suggests the loss is coming from anti-gay sentiment, but I think the anti-abortion, pro-life base was a big factor in getting voter turnout for him.

If it walks like a racist duck and talks like a racist duck, must be Tucker Carlson:

I am so irate over this election. My 15-year old nephew came out as gay last year and I am 99% certain that my parents (his grandparents) voted for Brian H. I cannot envision a world in which he could be excluded from a school for being gay, and yet here we. are.

A 30 something woman just announced that she is running against Joe Wilson in South Carolina's second district. He is a horrible person and is the one who famously yelled "you lie!" At Obama. She is a super qualified candidate with great ideas. We'd all benefit from getting Joe out of office!

dc2london I love how the hearing was the Dems tell in the constitutional reasons they need to give Congress the port and the Republicans were just yelling about "we told you so, we were right and you were wrong." There was no substance to their argument. And half of their responses were ad libbed with, God and "the border" etc. And based on Wisconsin goings on and how there is a rise of hate and homophobia I can see Trump taking 2020 and we suffering from another 4 years before a real FAR right person takes over. Dems can't get on message between apologizing for everything and not coming together in anyway. I am dismayed. I don't see a strong candidate and if one rises then the splintering will screw everyone.

R. Lankford is complaining that D's said during Obama to allow the president to pick his staff. McConnell blocks a judge vote and now Lankford is complaining that Ds are blocking Judge votes. Sounds like you get what you give asshole.

The Turtle being complaining about filibustering is something.
Schumer brought up Garland.
Also if you have literally never left DC since you were a staffer in NIXONS administration its time for you to fade into the sunset.

And it has been struck down. From now on only 2 hours of debate will be done. Blount is using circular logic. theres no reason for 30 hours. we confirmed bridget with less than a minute of debate.
and its fucking ridiculous
IF YOU TRULY WANT TO SERVE THEN DONT BE A CRIMINAL IN YOUR LIFE HOW ABOUT nominating people who are ethical instead of crooks?
Then saying by debating nominations is standing in the way of their job. DUDE ITS LITERALLY WRITTEN INTO THE CONSTITUTION THAT THIS IS YOUR JOB.

@darlene I feel you. It's frustrating to have grandparents/parents vote against their family's needs.
