A perfect Christmas message of hope and fellowship youtu.be/cMd_xlvTKIw
A depressingly high number of elected Democrats are declaring their intent to find “common ground” with President-elect Donald Trump and his crackpot Cabinet picks. Their naive, tone-deaf declarations epitomize an infatuation with bipartisanship for bipartisanship’s sake.…
In a bleak election cycle for Democrats, Rep. @RubenGallego defeated Kari Lake in the Arizona Senate race, outpacing Kamala Harris by roughly four points and by nine points among Latino men, @JRubinBlogger writes. Democrats want to know how he did it: wapo.st/3ZGtCXb
Democrats should decide on some red lines they will never cross. Whatever the merits of the underlying legislation, they can agree, for example, to reject life-threatening gambits (e.g., vaccine bans). Likewise, they must be emphatic that they will never approve blatantly…
I’m running to serve as Virginia’s next Governor, because I want to get things done on the issues that unite us: our schools, the safety of our kids, and the future of our fundamental rights. In Congress, I have a record of bringing people together. I’ll do the same in Richmond.

Isn’t birthright citizenship a right? I’m answering your questions. wapo.st/49J2HOR
Since Biden began considering an amnesty for people at risk of retribution from Trump and his FBI pick (who has an enemies list), myth-spinning about pardons have spread, @JRubinBlogger writes. Biden should pay attention to history and case law: wapo.st/4gAqgMb

McConnell unquestionably enabled the architect of “America First” to return to power (even endorsing him in 2024). Now he has the chutzpah to wring his hands about American isolationism and a possible Russian triumph in its war of aggression.... here is how he partially atones…
