I always love reading about friendships that cross party lines, like Michelle and Dubya or Joe Biden and John McCain. It’s a reminder that most people aren’t complete partisans

    The Senate was never meant to be adversarial - they were supposed to be the adults in the room that refined the legislation that came from the House (look up the phrase “the cooling saucer”). While there has always been a political divide, we’re living in a period of intense partisan hackery & obstructionism.
