Why do Democrats seem like they’re already giving up?

Senate Democrats are finally taking a stand against Donald Trump’s government rampage.

It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Democrats don’t want to replicate the hyperpartisan style that has characterized the GOP. But there’s a lot of space between that and caving.

The Laken Riley Act will do nothing to prevent the horrific crimes that befell its namesake. But it will entangle Democrats in a right-wing power grab.

For years, party leaders mocked Republicans for sticking with Trump when it was clear he was unfit for office. Now that Joe Biden is unfit for office, they’re silent.

He cited four obstacles to peace, one of which was not the United States Congress. It’s changing now—but AIPAC is spending millions to make sure it doesn’t.

Lawmakers agree that the rapid evolution of this technology needs to be addressed—but they’re still getting up to speed on the details.

“I’m much more worried,” says Maryland Democrat Chris van Hollen.

They might not fully appreciate what House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would be willing to do to keep his speakership.

President Biden’s agenda will be imperiled unless Democrats summon the courage to end this madness.

With the proposal to temporarily seat a replacement for the ailing senator on the Judiciary Committee, the majority’s plans—and Biden’s judges—may be left in limbo.

The ailing senator would like to be replaced temporarily on the Senate Judiciary Committee, but that’s easier said than done.

The president’s spending plan will never pass, but that’s not the point.
