Per Beau of the Fifth Column: Rule 303--if you have the means to act, you have the responsibility to act. Democrats, are you listening? You cannot sit on your hands while the extremists try to burn the place down. That plays into the hands of dark money like Charles Koch.

I'll cut Mr. Jeffries some slack and allow for the possibility that he's waiting for his senior advisor to get back from San Francisco and recover from the burial of her longtime friend. After that, he'll have about 30 calendar days to get a Speaker elected, pass another CR, support for Ukraine, and finalize 12 realistic appropriations bills that closely match what the Senate has approved. There won't be a lot of support from this from either the political or the media establishments because they've both come to depend on an ongoing state of controversy for easy stories and plentiful fundraising opportunities. One hopes that our continuing to press the issue in growing numbers will result in some very outside the box activity.
