    These are pretty serious times when he could be doing some data scrubbing, premptively pardoning others so they might act now in ways trump wont like, perma-loaning eq to allies, and just generally trump-proofing. But instead he’s signing a national bird act. Good old ‘nothing will fundamentally improve’ Joe Biden. What an arrogant doddering asshat.

      Signing doesn’t take him any time at all, but that 50-ish irrelevant bills were given limited Senate time doesn’t speak well to how seriously the Democrats are taking this limited window.

        General reminder that we do not hold the House, greatly impacting our ability to pass the laws we’d like.

            Finding 9 repubs willing to stand up to Trump these days is easier said than done. You’re aware, I assume, of what happened to the last batch.

            Regarding work, how about a whole bunch of judicial appointments? He already broke Trump’s record.

          Yeah, but the Senate alone can do things other than process useless laws. Squeeze out another judge or two.
