HOT TAKE: Conservative Democrats in red states aren’t conservative because “that’s the only way to win in middle America and the South” — they are often conservative because they are well PAID to be conservative

“Together, Sinema and Manchin have caused significant headaches for Democrats over the last two years — first by opposing much of the "Build Back Better" social spending and climate bill and then by opposing Democrats' plans of weakening the Senate's 60-vote filibuster to pass voting rights legislation.

Crow has also made significant contributions to moderate-to-conservative House Democrats.

According to federal campaign finance data, the Texas billionaire has given $16,800 to Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey since 2018, contributing thousands as recently as October 2022.

Gottheimer, a member of the so-called "Unbreakable Nine" of moderate Democrats who insisted on de-linking Build Back Better from the infrastructure bill, has at times been a thorn in the side of his party as well.

And Crow has contributed $12,500 to Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas since 2006. Cuellar, a conservative opponent of abortion rights, faced a strong primary challenge from progressive activist Jessica Cisneros in 2022.

Crow's relationship and lavish vacations with Justice Thomas have raised significant ethics concerns — Thomas never disclosed the flights and yacht trips financed by the GOP megadonor, apparently violating a post-Watergate federal law that requires justices to report gifts.”

I'm so happy the certified trash human from Arizona is done.

I accidentally did that thing back when she was elected where I was all "OH MY GOD FIRST BI SENATOR! GO GIRL! REPRESENT!" foolishly not knowing she was said certified trash human. Def learned the hard way on that one not to laud politicians for ONLY the identities they represent. Def learned you gotta look at their stances and work. But to give myself and everyone who made that same mistake a teeny bit of grace, she got way worse as a certified trash human AFTER she became a senator than before.

Kyrsten Sinema received more than $40,000 from private equity after killing a bill closing tax loopholes for private equity.

Corruption at its finest.

Abortion, Republicans, and Changed Minds

I’ve been meaning to write a piece about the Republican effort “to moderate their position on abortion.” The thing is, most of them are lying; trying to fool people into thinking they’ve changed their views. But, the truth is, even if some have really changed their beliefs, that won’t carry over to Washington. You might think, “No, not my Senator/Representative.” But, when they get to D.C. they’ll be forced to toe the Republican Party line, or they won’t get support (monetary and otherwise) from the party, and the party will just find someone else to support in the next election. I’m not saying the Democrats are perfect; far from it: see especially Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. But, they’re closer to what the people want; closer to the rights the people deserve. We’re not going to achieve things in one giant step; that’s the simple truth. But, even taking baby steps adds up. Adding two more Democratic Senators, and increasing the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, will make achieving progress easier.

You Can Take the Girl Out of the Green Party ...

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema has announced she's leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent. It appears that Sinema will still be effectively caucusing with the Democrats (she's slated to keep her committee assignments), so to some extent this is just another performance and won't directly upset the balance of power in the upper chamber. Nonetheless, this is entirely in character for a woman whose politics are very slightly left-of-center but also mostly gibberish that she spins up as having a "maverick streak" and being too pure for the confines of the dreaded two party system.

I'm not exactly surprised by the news. Indeed, to some extent I think it's politically savvy. Sinema was a dead woman walking in a 2024 Democratic primary -- Mark Kelly demonstrating that one can be a normal Democrat and win in Arizona took away Sinema's only hope of staving off an inevitable progressive challenger. But formally identifying as in indie gives Sinema two big advantages.

Rhetorically, as empty as this gesture is, it still will appeal to a certain branch of voter (and, more importantly, pundit) who salivates over "no labels!" and "independence!". At this point, that cadre is the only base Sinema could ever hope to have, so she might as well juice them for all they're worth.

More practically, by laying the groundwork for an independent run now, Sinema arguably boxes off a Democratic challenge more thoroughly than she ever could within the party. Sinema has effectively flipped a dead man's switch and promised to run in 2024 even if it means splitting the vote with an actual Democratic nominee. Do Democrats feel confident they can win in Arizona even with Sinema peeling off a non-trivial part of the vote? I bet that prospect has Democratic strategists feeling real nervous. There are several instances (Alaska springs to mind) where Democrats have simply lined up behind independent candidates in states knowing that they can't win if they split the vote, and Sinema is trying to make Arizona one of them. (The wild card is if Republicans decide not to run a candidate against Sinema, but that strikes me as vanishingly unlikely. The infuriating truth of American politics is that even in her most asinine and frustrating moments, Sinema still isn't even close to being as bad as even a normal Republican, let alone an Arizona Republican).
