These are pretty serious times when he could be doing some data scrubbing, premptively pardoning others so they might act now in ways trump wont like, perma-loaning eq to allies, and just generally trump-proofing. But instead he’s signing a national bird act. Good old ‘nothing will fundamentally improve’ Joe Biden. What an arrogant doddering asshat.
Signing doesn’t take him any time at all, but that 50-ish irrelevant bills were given limited Senate time doesn’t speak well to how seriously the Democrats are taking this limited window.
Dems always use that excuse even when they do have majority. It’s always “boo hoo the Republicans are stopping us again…” They’re just another flavor of oligarch that panders to a particular group of people for votes, which is why they’re doing nothing useful right now. I’m sure if they actually cared, they could find 9 Republicans that have a shred of a concept of wanting to save America for votes, and play the politics dance to get things done, but that smells too much like work.
Only two of those bills were worth mentioning. The one about trouble teen industry being more regulated and the college hazing accountability.

General reminder that we do not hold the House, greatly impacting our ability to pass the laws we’d like.

Finding 9 repubs willing to stand up to Trump these days is easier said than done. You’re aware, I assume, of what happened to the last batch.
Regarding work, how about a whole bunch of judicial appointments? He already broke Trump’s record.
Yeah, but the Senate alone can do things other than process useless laws. Squeeze out another judge or two.
