Oh, hell, this laissez faire construction goes back to Victorian days and was put forth as something “natural” and probably derives from social Darwinism. It still rears its ugly head.
ETA: What frightens me about such memes is that they grow such deep roots in our economic debate even though they’re completely without any rational foundation. And they do such harm.
There’s no evidence that pod people have taken over Globe Arizona
Well, there’s no evidence that they haven’t.
JAKE TAPPER: “There’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud.” MARK MEADOWS: “There’s no evidence that there’s not either.”
Oh Nancy, please, please do this. We’ve seen your trial balloon. Now do it.
Once again, Nancy Pelosi providing governance and leadership.
Could someone please explain to me again about how being anti-fascist became a bad thing?
Jake Tapper will call out bullshit when he hears it.
Several Democratic Reps, including Ted Lieu are talking about changing House rules to institute inherent contempt.
Can’t find it Ralph, but do you have the link you showed on Ted Lieu and his subpoena-strengthening measure he talked about getting through the House?
Timing is everything 
Trump and Kobach also assure us that in person voting is fraught with fraud. There is only one way out of this dilemma, we have to destroy the vote in order to save it.

House Oversight wanted hearing sooner but DeJoy refused. In fact, he doesn’t even have to show up & can litigate any subpoenas. How to solve this? Pass my House Rules change that allows us to execute Inherent Contempt against witnesses. No excuse for us not to exercise our power.
Robert was the younger brother, so I’m thinking about the old saw “only the good die young”, and even if Robert wasn’t good in the best sense of the word the older very bad brother will live on. Between Walter Reed hospital and its nearby services and the mini hospital within the WH Fatsolini will be tended to in an emergency stat.
It’s not OK if you’re not a republican?
All I know about Robert is that he looks like a prick.
Lieu has a written rule change proposal and he’s working to get it approved.
Can’t prove that there isn’t an invisible Slor, undetectable by any known means, in close orbit around the earth.
I don't think this insane conflict of interest has been reported...

Robert M. Duncan, Chairman of @USPS Board of Governors, was listed as Director of American Crossroads in paperwork filed 3/19/2020 –– a PAC that's spent $1.9 million to re-elect Trump.https://t.co/4Gg5KOHj0v pic.twitter.com/ZQouocHdom
Enter the US Space Force. They will land on the sun at night to avoid being seen.
Bring the House back…do the work…MAKE A BIG NOISE.
Show that Democrats are doing what needs to be done…and if they can’t…it’s ONLY because repubs are blocking.
It’s the only way.
PLEASE, Madame Speaker.
EVERYONE needs to contact their Reps and tell them to stop the recess, even if they are progressive and likely agree.
Even Jim Cooper, the Blue Dog Democrat here in TN, is calling for the House to use “inherent contempt” if DeJoy defies a subpoena:
We need to subpoena the Postmaster General, and if he fails to appear, we should send the Sgt at Arms to arrest him.

I expected this from Ted Leiu, but if Cooper is doing it, you know that Dems have Trump and the GOP by the balls. People in this country love the USPS (91% approval rating!), and are royally pissed off it is being screwed with.
Here’s Ted Leiu’s Tweet:
In June, @RepJoeNeguse @RepCicilline @RepValDemings @RepDean @RepRaskin & I introduced bill to allow House to execute our Inherent Contempt power against Administration officials. This bill doesn’t require Senate or @POTUS approval. We should pass it ASAP.https://t.co/BKywN3A8h1
