Why not celebrate #BetterCallSaul Day by revisiting my profile of the show’s MVP, Rhea Seehorn, and how her performance as Kim Wexler changed the narrative course of the series? https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/better-call-saul-rhea-seehorn-interview-971200/

2/ Fact: Fundraising for all Democratic candidates is drastically down this cycle. Why? Because voters feel disillusioned with the inaction.
That’s not me saying that, it’s the entire Democratic base.
It makes it very hard to win the midterms.

Everything Liz Warren says here is spot on. Some of you may not like her, but she's saying the cold hard truth.

The damage to our nation from the Trump regime and its Republican congressional apparatchiks will last for decades.

no hyperbole: if Sohn's nomination is scuttled I promise you it will leave a violent mark on the policy and political landscape, and loudly advertise unchecked U.S. corruption and the death of competent democratic federal policymaking.

Sohn is one of the most qualified and popular FCC Commissioner nominations in recent memory. If her nomination gets scuttled it represents a high tide of U.S. corruption. Telecom giants have already gridlocked the FCC for 1.5 years after effectively controlling it for 4.

Politico also notes how former Senator Heidi Heitkamp is heading a telecom-backed stinkworks operation intended to try and derail Sohn's nomination to the FCC:

Meanwhile, I can't wait for the inevitable announcement from Gigi Sohn that she'll withdraw her nomination because of bullshittery.
It's sad to see someone this qualified to be in the FCC get buried like this. I can clearly see a Big Telecom shill get the nom now...

if/when you see Sinema ruin the FCC nomination of the extraordinarily qualified and popular Sohn, you can be 100% sure her justifications will parrot the baseless claims laid out above

yeah, see, the bogus attack (above) accusing Sohn of being terrible for minorities is part of this (below) campaign by telecom lobbyists to scuttle Sohn's FCC nomination by targeting Sinema (who telecom has gotten to waffle on net neutrality in the past):

This is a great piece on the love/hate relationship with the Kingdom Hearts franchise that many people can deeply relate.
