Bernie Sanders delivers a statement on the “nuclear option” and what it means for the Left. Truly, it isn’t fair to change the rules in the middle of a game. Democrats would have supported a less extreme judge, but McConnell had to have THIS one. Shame on him.
Get MAD and vote blue!
I will be at the Democratic Party meeting in Ruidoso this evening. I look forward to meeting members there.
Congratulations to Sandra Martinez who won chair, and Val Anaya who won Vice-Chair of the Democratic Party of Socorro County!
Democratic Party of New Mexico lets Republicans have it over “Nuclear Option” for Gorsuch! He may be a ‘qualified’ judge, but he doesn’t fit with traditional Supreme Court ‘qualifications’ which means that both parties have an equal voice in a judge’s selection. Why? Because it’s a lifetime appointment.

Can we blame Rex Tillerson for the Syrian Gas Attack?
Remember a few days ago when Tillerson said that Syria’s future would be determined by the Syrian people? Words matter. Shortly thereafter the Syrian government bombed rebels with what we now know was Sarin Gas, a nerve agent that is against international law. Would that have happened if Assad hadn’t felt sure that the US would do nothing to counter him?
I repeat: Words Matter!
We MUST take back the House, and turn as many seats blue as possible in the coming elections.

Senate Republicans deployed the “nuclear option” against all better judgement. With this action, they have effectively turned themselves into a carbon copy of the dysfunctional House. The Senate is supposed to be above this sort of infighting, representing a more measured type of action. Very importantly, Republicans do NOT get to pay lip service to the morality of NOT doing an action…and then go ahead and DO it!
There is simply no correct reason to make this horrific change in the Senate’s rules. If a nominee cannot get enough votes, then the nomination is supposed to change to a more equitable nominee for both sides. We are NOT supposed to see extremists on EITHER side get shoved through based on the bad behavior of one man — in this case Mitch McConnell.
We MUST turn as many seats blue as possible in the midterm election!

In this video, Robert Reich goes over several grounds for impeachment which cannot happen as long as the Republicans control the House. Yes, this president is on shaky grounds.

Devin Nunes has finally recused himself. Having been a member of Trump’s transition team, thus a possible target of investigation, he should NEVER have been on the investigation… much less RUNNING it!

Why would House Republicans boycott a NONPOLITICAL, NONCONTROVERSIAL hearing aranged by a Democrat? This hearing was intended to provide a knowledge base for representatives on strategies and methods of Russians. Nothing was discussed about Trump, and wasn’t on the agenda. This was about an FBI double agent telling how things are done by the Russians.
Guess what? Not a SINGLE Republican showed up! That kind of partisan behavior is dysfunctional and won’t change until we turn the House BLUE!
Get MAD and vote blue!
