> I’m certainly interested in the position. I’m having a lot of conversations with my colleagues. And, you know, I think it’s incredibly important that we prepare ourselves fully for an incoming Trump administration, as well as fighting for everyday working Americans.

> Voters don’t care about bipartisanship. They might tell pollsters they’d prefer it if everyone in Washington got along, and they may sincerely mean it. But when it comes time to vote, that’s not how they act.

> they believe that it is politically clever for them to show voters that they seek bipartisanship, even if that desire turns out to be unrequited. “As I have long said, our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families,” Chuck Schumer, leader of Senate Democrats, said on social media.

> response from Senate Democrats — who will have votes and a voice in the confirmation process — has been remarkably muted. Ask a Senate Democrat about the nominees, and you’re more likely to hear “I have some serious concerns” than the far more appropriate “My God, is Trump insane?

> Tarrio’s return to the courthouse just across the street from the Capitol marked a dark reunion of sorts. Fourteen months ago, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison for organizing the vanguard of the mob that nearly derailed the transfer of power.

@steelersquirrel It's a rarity people like them actually think about the working class. Very few.
yst 15:24
@steelersquirrel tbf, I really don't give a damn whom she supports. It doesn't change a dime.
