'Not what America voted for!' Alina Habba rages as GOP senator won't bend rules for her
President Donald Trump's acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, flew into a rage on social media at Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), after he reaffirmed his commitment to respect the "blue slip" tradition of requiring a nominee's home state senators' consent to advance — a...

As our social media maven is away we have let our editorial standards slip and will be posting some festive nonsense purely to try and share some of the things that bring our team joy, in the hope they will bring joy to some of you. After all, what is Open if it isn't sharing!

Was reorganizing some physical media and just realized, for the first time, that the cases in Friday Night Lights box set switch their spine art from the Dillion Panthers colors to the East Dillon Lions colors in season four. What a great touch.

That said, there is a dark horse in the race in the form of tech executive Zeeshan Hafeez. His platform is immensely more progressive and aware that there's kind of a fascism happening. He's raised a decent amount of money, but has had little media exposure. That said, he could slip through. 3/3

'He’s got staff giving him bad advice': GOP Lawmaker warns Trump against attacking veteran senator
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) was among GOP lawmakers shocked by President Donald Trump’s abuse of veteran Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), on social media, reports the Hill. On Tuesday, Trump posted a message on his Truth Social platform urging Grassley to show “courage” in eliminating the so-called “blue‑slip scam,” arguing it allowed Democratic senators to keep excellent Republican judges and U.S. attorneys from being confirmed. “He should do this, immediately, and not let the Democrats laugh at him and the Republican Party for being weak and ineffective,” Trump wrote. READ MORE: The one man who has the strength to finish off Donald Trump The Hill reports Tillis warned Trump that he appears to be getting bad information from his people. “I think it was a bad — No. 1, Chuck is beloved in our conference. No. 2, the blue-slip policy helps the president. He’s got staff giving him bad advice,” Tillis said. Aside from publicly castigating a 91-year-old senator, Tillis said getting rid of the blue slip process would make it harder to work with Democrats when it comes time to pass legislation requiring 60 votes to survive the Senate. “I think the president’s staff have a bad habit of advising him that was a good idea,” Tillis added. “… The staff should have intervened and said, ‘This is not a good idea.’” READ MORE: Behind the real reason Americans voted for Trump Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) took a similar tone against the public shaming. “I talked to Sen. Grassley — I think Sen. Grassley has long, long, long been a great team player, and I think he was just a little bit offended at the tone, and that’s not right,” said Murkowski, who supports the blue slip process. One anonymous Republican lawmaker told the Hill that Trump’s abuse of Grassley “was really the talk of the floor last night.” Grassley himself said he “was offended” by Trump’s statements at a Judiciary Committee hearing, and “disappointed” that it had degenerated to “personal insults.” READ MORE: 'We have it on video!'

Freudian slip - it’s precisely typical of the way in which American media (a) erases non-white working class people (b) substitutes in uneducated wealthy business owners LARPing as blue collar in their place.

I do think Obama and team could have gone WAY more 'nope'! Held up every fed dollar to R states, never left a single conversation w media without hammering on it, press conference after press conference, blue slip every R preferred nom, lots of ways to make life high friction for Rs at the time.

I didn't know what a reconciliation package was or a blue slip or whether that crazy thing that just happened was actually "unprecedented" or if it had happened before (bc media/pols really like the word unprecedented and seem to use it even when it's not applicable).
