A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“Without the luxury of Republicans falling apart, Democrats in the Senate need to decide whether to prevent a dangerous and harmful budget that shrinks the power of Congress in the government. Since operating on principle goes against their ‘adults in the room’ mindset, they are wavering on what to do.
