The 2024 election was not a binding referendum on American culture that everyone must accept and accommodate. Never was.

This !!!! Even if Dems had voted to keep it open in hopes of talks in November they were already planning on letting the subsidies expire
Reality check: There is a bipartisan House bill to extend the ACA tax credits for one year—and just 14 Republicans have signed on. 14 out of 219, less than 7%.
The vast majority of House Republicans want this to expire, or at least don’t want to be associated with an extension.

The Method in Trump’s Madness
Despite Trump’s impulsive inconsistencies, his attempted progression toward fascism is all too systematic. He has not yet succeeded.

Those last two sentences? They apply to everything.
This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Those last two sentences? They apply to everything.
Said a unanimous SCt LAST YEAR: "Six decades ago, this Ct held that a government entity’s 'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion...to achieve the suppression' of disfavored speech violates the First Amend. Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then..." Please file suit.

This is not hyperbole: this Republican bill makes higher education accessible only to the wealthy few and tells the working class to either not go to college or find a more dangerous private lender to do so.
Unacceptable. This bill must be stopped.

Public opinion on immigration is 1) malleable, and 2) easily sours on visible cruelty, and if anyone told you otherwise over the last 5 years, they're offering you cursed ideology masked as wise pragmatism
Remarkable from WaPo poll: Trump sinking fast on immigration among independents.
56% disapprove of handling of issue
62% oppose removing foreign students
52% oppose renditions to El Salvador
Only 21% want Abrego Garcia left there
Engage, Dems.

Immigration was his best issue in the polls. But now he's sinking on it. Maybe Americans care about the rule of law after all.

The Trump administration is restoring all legal statuses of international students who have had their records terminated in recent weeks, a government attorney says, as ICE crafts a new policy that will “provide a framework for status record termination.”

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth.
As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.
