Sure, we could focus on today's big story, that Senate Republicans have blocked the creation of a bipartisan January 6 commission.
We could point out that the GOP's opposition is a fool's errand, because the Democratic House can convene a Benghazi-esque committee tonight. (With no Republican input on subpoena power, etc.) We could reiterate President Biden's commitment to holding Republicans accountable for every anti-American move they make. We could state how despicable it is that Republican Senators turned away Officer Brian Sicknick's mom, who fruitlessly implored them in person to approve the commission, wearing a pendant that contained her son's ashes.
But instead, hey! Let's celebrate the fact that Kamala Harris is the first woman ever to address the US Naval Academy commencement!
Why? Because while the GOP is behaving like a bunch of assholes — and betraying America at every turn — under the political radar, good stuff is happening. Team Biden is undoing a bunch of disgusting Trumpian moves, and setting some interesting records at the same time. (Example: Kristen Clarke just became the first Black woman to head the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.) Scary, anti-democratic things are happening out in the states, so let's mark these other, not-insignificant victories while we brace for the fight ahead. We cats PURR.
