“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.

As long as they’re just whining in response and not taking action they’re proving him right.
Republicans control the house and the senate is still subject to the filibuster and likely will remain that way until the next time there is 52+ dem senators + dem house + dem president simultaneously.
Yeah, but think of how effective the empty gestures would be!
/sarcasm
So? That still means he’s right!
TIL that House Democrats can launch investigations without control over House committees.
Wild how the Democrats always have an excuse but the government works flawlessly for Republicans.
Anything works flawlessly when your goal is to not use it. The difference is that Democrats are interested in using the government to promote the common good and Republicans aren’t. But when they’re backed into a corner where no government action would get them crucified (like the COVID bills) Democrats won’t get in the way. Whereas whenever Democrats try the same thing Republicans obstruct and filibuster so they can blame Democrats for their inaction.
If we’re gauging by their actions and the results, their goal is to act as the apologist branch of our Republican government.
Except they do and have accomplished things to help. The fact that they haven’t done more is proof that we’re never satisfied. It would be easier to do if Republicans hadn’t decided their path to power is to obstruct and blame everything on Democrats, but we no longer live in that world. Let’s acknowledge reality instead of helping Republicans blame Democrats for their hindrance.
I’ll believe that when the Democrats stop making excuses.
How is describing the reality in front of you an excuse?
Because the government works in favor of Republicans and against Democrats every single time. Because Joe Biden, Joe Manchin, and KKK Leader Robert Byrd are/were pals. Because Biden rode the term “welfare queen” to the presidency. Because Kamala Harris is a cop and a DA. Because if it isn’t Manchin it’s Sinema. Because “The Squad” only swings their ladydicks when the stakes are low, and spend the rest of their time conveniently allowing the Republicans to operate with impunity. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene is still allowed in DC. Because because because becaaaause!!!
What’s your excuse for not investigating?
Brother I fix cars for a living. It’s literally not my job to investigate and I couldn’t if I wanted to. We have people for that. It’s long past time to hold them accountable.
Do so then
Political process is captured and broken, a wage slave has no sway over any of it
But I am sure next election is different, it will be the one! As long as people vote for “my” team
Oh, so you’re one of those Blue MAGA fascists who turn to narcissistic abusive tactics when your “team” is criticized.
Cry harder lib
Just a MAGA fascist then.
