Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.
Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.
The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

For some scale, NOAA's budget is $7 billion a year, the National Park Service's budget is $3 billion a year, and the entire federal public defender system costs under $2 billion a year.
