A news conference. Whoopdeedoo. If they don’t take desperate measures to protect RvW, then they’re all useless.

What measures? What are our politicians supposed to be out there doing? This is what bothers me. Sure, I want them to show some more fire, but what EXACTLY can they do? While the filibuster is still a thing, the minority party gets to put a halt to any fucking thing they want as long as it’s not a nomination or a reconciliation bill. Biden can go out there and propose new legislation until he’s blue in the face. Pelosi and the House Democrats can sit down, write it all up, and pass every single one to send them to the Senate. Every single goddamn one will die before ever reaching the Senate floor just because Josh Hawley says, “Yeah, I’m going to filibuster that.” He doesn’t even have to stand up and DO it; he just has to SAY he will, and that’s the end of that. Again - I agree, I want the Democrats to get on the messaging train, but that’s literally all we’ve got right now, messaging. Nothing is going to change because IT CAN’T.
