Dems always use that excuse even when they do have majority. It’s always “boo hoo the Republicans are stopping us again…” They’re just another flavor of oligarch that panders to a particular group of people for votes, which is why they’re doing nothing useful right now. I’m sure if they actually cared, they could find 9 Republicans that have a shred of a concept of wanting to save America for votes, and play the politics dance to get things done, but that smells too much like work.
General reminder that we do not hold the House, greatly impacting our ability to pass the laws we’d like.

Finding 9 repubs willing to stand up to Trump these days is easier said than done. You’re aware, I assume, of what happened to the last batch.
Regarding work, how about a whole bunch of judicial appointments? He already broke Trump’s record.
Yeah, but the Senate alone can do things other than process useless laws. Squeeze out another judge or two.
