The contrast between Arizona’s two senators, both Democrats, could not be starker in their response Wednesday to passing legislation after a shooting at a Texas elementary school left at least 21 dead.
I guess having a loved one who was a victim makes all the difference in point of view.
She’s a clown. That’s all she is.
You know, I don’t think Sinema’s future D.C. career plans are realistic, either.
Regardless of how she identifies at the time, I’m not sure that would happen with Sinema.
What does she get paid to do?
the filibuster
the one tool we have that keeps us working,
Nope. Try again.
at least talking
Nope. Try again.
together.
Nope. The filibuster is now only a tool of the Republican Party to stop every piece of legislation that might make Democrats look successful.
ETA: …in the eyes of most people in the country.
This statement is a declarative imperative of her irrelevance.
What the HELL does she mean by “DC solutions”? What a frigging cop-out.
Okay, so Sinema Verite doesn’t like “DC solutions.” Then why is she there? Time for her constituents to “call her home.” (Sadly, that won’t be until, what? 2026??)
That’s one C-word for her.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) expressed her conviction that Americans want Congress to act.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema then said “You know, I don’t think that D.C. solutions are realistic here.”
From which I conclude that Sinema does not think it is the job of the elected members of Congress to do the things the Americans who elected them to Congress want them to do.
Where else will national policy on gun control come from? A kombucha bar in West L.A.?

Nothing will budge Natasha Sinema and Boris Manchin from killing the filibuster for any reason.
Hoping against hope the Democrats pick up enough seats to tell both of them to get with the bleeping program OR get the hell out of the way!
After which they blame the Democrats for failing to pass the legislation they campaigned on.
That depends on who’s paying her.
Just hours after the shooting, lawmakers such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) were advocating for more armed people in schools.
Despite the apparent story that the shooter was engaged by armed police and still managed to get through them and into the school to shoot all those children.
The filibuster needs to go as it serves no “democratic” purpose. It would STILL require a majority of Senators (plus the VP, potentially) to pass ANY legislation, so Manchin and Sinema can still vote no on everything they hate…oh, wait, that might actually put them ON THE RECORD rather than hiding behind the filibuster.
The filibuster serves only to enable Republican resistance to moving forward on anything. And rest assured, as soon as they are back in power, the filibuster will be eliminated on anything they WANT to pass. So, then, what exactly is the point of keeping it now???
I understand that she is really popular with the fossil fuel industry. She just loves her some petro-groupies.
