Good idea, Joe. Now please also support an exception to allow this radical far-Reich-wing SCOTUS to be packed with more reasonable justices. Thanks!

A simple majority can change the filibuster rule. But two senators have this blocked, and the block is holding against all trials, so far. So neither the court nor anything else can be fixed with this Senate. Really need a better Senate

We all know if reversed the Repulsive Party would already have changed the filibuster last year.
Day one....

Looks like there's a 'brain drain' in progress in these shithole states that've gone after a woman's reproductive freedom.

Good.

Column: As professionals flee antiabortion policies, red states face a brain drain
M. Hiltzik at the LA Times

A few days ago, a university headhunter reached out to Elizabeth T. Jacobs, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Arizona, to gauge her interest in moving to a leading university in Texas.

Under normal circumstances and in professional terms, the opportunity would have seemed intriguing. “It was an attractive situation,” Jacobs told me. “It was at an institution I have a lot of respect for, and I would not have dismissed it out of hand.”

But the political environment in Texas is not normal, in Jacobs’ view. She informed the recruiter that “under the current state leadership I didn’t think my family would be safe in that state.”

Could it be the upcoming recess where those Repubs have to go back home and might actually have to face the people who voted for them have something to do with their vote?

On Sunday night at the University of Michigan Medical School's annual white coat ceremony, incoming medical students recited oaths, received their white coats – then dozens of them walked out.

At issue was the keynote speaker: Dr. Kristin Collier, a Michigan faculty member and primary care physician who has spoken publicly about her Christian beliefs and anti-abortion views.

Thanks for fighting the good fight, Garland. Now, when are you going to put the Trump crime family and their enablers behind bars, for life!?
