#JonathanChait has an expectedly stupid take on #ElizabethWarren. She's not exactly a prize, but Chait's desire to tar #progressive ideas by tying them to her failures is facile and antagonizing to the people you want to be #FutureDemocrats.
Get real, man.

We're not issuing or planning any illegal orders. Instead, the administration has opted for a rebuttal that is considerably more self-incriminating.

Jonathan Chait: "A big reason for skepticism about Donald Trump’s desire to fight crime in D.C. is that he is, in many ways, objectively pro-crime."

“This guy still writes for a major outlet:
"Chait argued that Jan 6 wasn’t a for-realsies insurrection, calling it instead an attempt “to secure an unelected second term in office” (an instantly classic line, to be fair)..."

Listen up, #SenateDems #HouseDemocrats #SenSchumer This isn’t ageism. I’m 72 & agree whole-heartedly-we need a Congress that can more closely relate to struggles people face today.
