Just got to hear Amanda Gorman’s reading for the first time. That was spectacular.

I do wonder what, exactly, is the acceptable window between “too far from the election not to seat a new Supreme Court justice” and “too close to the end of the president’s term to risk newfound unity by pursuing accountability after the coup.”

That an entire institutionalized political party — the endlessly preening “party of moral responsibility!” —is so dedicated to resisting any consequences for their guys, is somehow still astonishing, even after the past years. What an irredeemably shameful thing.
