So do we know what the Democrats want to actually do about gas prices yet? Because I can’t think of any actual policies they’d be willing to implement to that end other than more deregulation and/or free trade.

they don't want to do anything about gas prices except talk about how bad they are

just like they've been consistently messaging that the #GOPTaxScam is bad, but ask them what they're going to do about it and you won't quite get a straight answer

How did all the democrats in power get there? Schumer's political instincts are loving garbage, yet somehow he's got a stranglehold on the NY democratic party and became the leader of the senate.

schumer was a notoriously strong fundraiser who cultivated close relationships with bankers and finance firms, so the state party gave him preferential treatment. favoring him in redistricting, giving him advance notice of upcoming empty seats so he could start planning to run in races with no incumbent, and so on. also, he lets Orthodox communities do whatever they want, and in return they support him without question

he got to be the Dem leader in the Senate because the Senate Dems thought that Hillary was going to win big, so everyone figured she'd lead the party and all the Majority Leader would need to do was have his solid Dem majority rubber-stamp whatever President Hillary handed him. so they thought they didn't need to have a qualified or competent political operator in the position. whoops!

MSNBC "AM Joy" host Joy Reid has been accused by ex co-workers of creating a "toxic" work environment and allegedly once threatening another host "with physical violence," according to a Thursday report.

Andre Eggelletion, who once hosted a morning show with Reid at WTPS-AM in South Florida from 2006 to 2007, told FoxNews.com that Reid had created "the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced" and once threatened him physically.

"It was a very unhealthy work environment because of her attitude," Eggelletion said. "She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her."

Just got an email from Liz Warren about Legalizing It, but it turns out it's about a bipartisan bill co-sponsored with Colorado Republican Cory Gardner to safeguard the ability of states to pass their own legalization laws, which sounds a whole lot like the healthcare-access of legal weed bills

It's a perfect representation of why Schumer is such an inept opposition leader. The president is so good at dominating the news, with all his scandals and inflammatory rhetoric, that you need someone with energy, creativity, confidence, fighting spirit, and pizzazz to break through. Someone who is comfortable in the media spotlight, who can be funny and cutting — and maybe even someone who can think up an attention-grabbing stunt that doesn't come off like it was pulled out of a dusty three-ring binder from the 1980s.

the only dems in the past three decadrs this even remotely describes are bill clinton and obama
