I also like their analysis of various issues as well. They strive to be nonpartisan and factual.
Here's an example:
"Rebalancing the courts was always going to be a challenge for President Biden. When he took over, 30 percent of active federal judges had been appointed by Trump. He also had just 49 federal court vacancies to fill at that point — less than half the number that Trump started with. But Biden campaigned on offsetting Trump’s conservative stamp by nominating judges from diverse backgrounds, and he’s gotten more judicial nominees confirmed through the Senate than any president at this point in his first term in decades. Almost half of the 61 judges he’s nominated to the lower courts have been confirmed — a larger share than Trump or former President Barack Obama — although there’s been far less consensus in the Senate about Biden’s picks.
"But perhaps even more significantly, Biden has delivered on his promise of diversity in a big way. According to our analysis, the vast majority of the judges who have been confirmed under his presidency are women or people of color. And the judges he’s named to the courts also have nontraditional professional backgrounds. They’re more likely than past crops of judges to come from fields like advocacy and academia, and more likely to have worked as public defenders than as prosecutors."

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
They would groan anything that reminds them of January 6th, the day they are trying so very hard to forget ever happened.
It did happen.
It cannot be taken back.
They attacked our own government.
It's been leading up to this ever since Reagan said government was the problem.
If Reagan was so great and he was going to fix the problem, how come Americans attacked our own government on January 6th this year?
If Trump was so great, how come his term ended with people attacking the government he presided over?
Was that his idea of 'making American great again?'
It's just nonsense dog-whistle hatred peddling.
Hating our government isn't going to make it any better.
Attacking our government can't force it to do what you want.
Our government can certainly stand some improvement, but we must work within the system to do it.
Disenfranchising people from voting? WRONG!
We need MORE people voting, more people involved, more people who care enough to learn what the heck is really going on.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
The only reason Trump got to do so many is because McConnell would not do his job. Obama made lots of nominations that were never brought to the Senate floor because of McConnell. Those seats were left unfulfilled on purpose, hoping that Republicans would win in 2016. McConnell did that even before Trump entered the race in 2015. The thing with Garland is simply the one that got news coverage because it was a SCOTUS position. It was all standard MO for McConnell. Yes, he plays dirty.

It's an insult to them that our democracy was attacked.

Nobody on the right gives a F about 1/6 but the rest of us do and we all know for a fact, had this BLM.....you lunatics would be buying up every damn american flag on the planet and demanding negro blood. The only damn time you right-wing lunatics give a damn about this country or our soldiers are on HOLIDAYS!! Your American made Nazi nut, Trump, that orange guy, who you nuts worship......never served one day for his country, not one and you maniacs love him for it....so you sir, have no creds with your fake outrage of 1/6 vs Pearl H. day...poooooof begone!!
The reason Mitch gets away with so much shit, is because 80% of the ppl of Ky are on some form of gov aid, mostly disability. These ppl have no skin in the game of politics because they're being paid by our tax dollars every damn month, they could give a damn about anything Mitch does, as long as he doesn't go after their welfare checks and he won't and never will. The entire course of this nation could have changed perhaps for the better, had Mitch and the sorry racist ignorant GOP done their damn jobs and Susan Collins will go down in history along with that other white mop from Ala. who could have put a permanent end to Trump and his MAGA nuts
One can only hope.....but when you have a mass of ppl, who are completely ignorant, always in constant fear of brown and who reject change......the only focus they have is too preserve and protect white interest only and that will never change. I honestly don't know why we waste time on these ppl, they're not worth it.
