Quote of the Day
“"Democrats need to raise the intra-party temperature. As Jon Stewart said a week ago, the Biden team’s attitude of “get on board or shut the [expletive] up is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker.” It’s time to go all Howard Beale — or Twisted Sister, if you prefer a hair metal anthem to Paddy Chayefsky’s “Network” — and scream, “We’re not going to take it anymore.””
