political discourse. senator lisa murkowski this morning saying why she stands by her criticism. when there is a conflict, when the party is is taking an approach or saying things that i think are just absolutely wrong, i think it s my responsibility as an alaskan senator speaking out for alaskans to just speak the truth. a new reaction to former vice president mike pence s harsh rebuke of his former boss, calling donald trump wrong. pence s former chief of staff saying why the vp chose now to speak out. and he extended those remarks a little bit this week to the federalist society, primarily because the president s comments about the vice president had the ability to overturn the election i think merited response. of course there s nothing in the 12th amendment or the electoral count act that would afford the
gloom for so long, and so much has been right wing gaslighting about the state of our economy and here we have democrats delivering. the biden boom is real. we want to talk about having a positive agenda that democrats can run on in november. it s the economy stupid. that s what we ve all said over and over again, election cycle after election cycle and here we are getting results that any president would love to have. if this were donald trump s economy, we would be seeing him out there beating his chest, saying this is the greatest economy in the world, i m the greatest president of all time, the bragging would be relentless, and democrats now have a blueprint for how they can talk positively about the economy, positively about accomplishments, doing things that are tangibly affecting real world americans. and it s like when biden said the other day in the press conference, what are republicans for, apparently they re for recasting a domestic terrorist attack as a legitimate action w
