There is an unfounded rumor swirling around the DC swamp that the GOP Senators may actually be forced into doing something to help the Country. For onceā¦
Fainting couches are being mobilized by the National Guard in the event that actually comes to pass.

It seems less and less hyperbolic to refer to the Rs as a ādeath cultā

Gotta stay in town because, well, as Moscow Mitch has shown, the Senate gets to much done. Canāt he say no from Sean Hannityās TV studio, or the Russian embassy?

That looks like egg and probably some infected spittle on McConnellās face since earlier this morning he was still planning on the Senate recess and delaying any related votes until after they got back. He looks like twice the fool he was this morning.

Do Nothing rethugs wonāt make any progress even if they cancel the recess. Itās cynical and disgusting of them to attach abortion to the bill at this point.

Iām trying to imagine a non-hyperbolic way a government could be more broken than this one. Only one-sixth of it is interested in addressing critical matters of domestic and international security in an adult way.

That picture of McConnell makes it seem that the humanity has been completely drained out of him. Reason: It has.

The Democratic House has already passed its relief bill, right? The one with assistance to companies for providing sick leave, the costs for testing, added funding to the federal health agencies, and the like? But itās too much and too āpoliticalā for McConnell to even permit the Senators to look at. The House could, with some justification, take a recess, having done its work. Itās on the Senate now, and McConnell really doesnāt want to do jack.
