When it comes to accountability, the distinction between "looking backward" and "looking forward" makes no sense. We hold people accountable in part to affect their, and others', conduct in the future. 1/

  • We expect our Representatives and Senators in the U.S. Congress to be able to multitask. They can investigate and hold hearings about the cesspool of wrongdoing committed by the Trump regime at the same time they do all they can to take affirmative steps to improve the U.S. 2/

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Thank you for this, I was making this point to my mother this morning. There is no getting back to normal with without understanding how the corruption occurred, without hearings and change. Being timid under Biden allowed the rot to continue. The Supreme Court was understood to be taking bribes yet it was business as usual.

  • @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Agreed. We can walk and chew ass at the same time. Pass meaningful reform and start up the subpoena mill. Restore the ACA and get committees rolling. Pass bills repealing Citizens United. Roll call votes. Make Trump veto it. And make a fucking stink when he does. Expose Elon and the other oligarch class for what they are—the real welfare queens at the pig trough.

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social As an outside observer (hello from Ireland!), I am here asking "senior" Democrats to please, for once in your political lives: * read the room *

  • @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Yet somehow people in the highest levels of the Democratic Party seem to have slept through that class
