I seethe at the apparent gutlessness of all too many Democratic politicians. Where’s the backbone? Where’s the fight?

The Oligarch Party would have put up a fight if the Democrats were in the White House. Gingrich, De Lay, et al would have responded to a hypothetical Clinton over-reach by causing an appointment blockade or zeroing out ICE’s budget.

But here in 2026, what do we get from our party’s leadership?

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! from little mousies.
