The Ever Brave Democratic Caucus

Al Green, the Democratic representative from Texas, got himself thrown out of Trump’s speech the other night. Republicans wanted to censure him. Of course Democrats can’t hold together even on Trumpian theater like this and ten Democrats voted with Republicans to do this. They are a fairly random 10, but each of them should be primaried out of office for it. I might make an exception for Gluesenkamp Perez, who is tremendously annoying and full of herself, but legitimately represents a difficult district. But Jim Himes? Ed Case? Ami Bera represents CA-6, a Harris +14 district. This is just capitulation. And while as I said yesterday that direct action protest by Congress might not actually appeal to the idiots who are swing voters, no one is going to remember any of this in November 2026. There’s just no reason for any of them to do this. Except that they are really mostly OK with a lot of Trumpism.
