Can’t have another pandemic under his watch. Don’t you know, if we don’t do any testing, there’s no cases!

The issue is that it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal if nobody prosecutes it, and it doesn’t matter if they prosecute it if there’s no punishment. Or if they’re just allowed to keep doing other shit while the courts are being tied up investigating each individual thing.

Note that only 9 of these have notes about judge rulings.

He can do crimes a lot faster than the courts can rule on his crimes.

If I’m reading this right, their plan is to basically make Republicans vote against popular things, in hopes that it makes voters turn away from them in 2026. That’s neat, and in an ideal world where people actually paid attention to what their senators are voting for and the republicans didn’t control the media and generate propaganda at an alarming rate, it might even be effective, but I am skeptical that it will have any real effect in the world we actually live in.

Fair enough, I might have the terminology wrong, but this sort of thing is exactly what I was intending to refer to.

Nominations are subject to the filibuster, unless articles like this one stating that a vote was needed to break a filibuster on Kristi Noem’s nomination are all incorrect?

We’ve seen the GOP weaponize the filibuster at every available opportunity; the fact that the dems are letting anything pass without doing the same is irritating to me. The time to respect decorum is long past, but they don’t seem to have gotten the memo on that.
