If there is a shutdown, this is going to be the Republican argument: That Dems are the cause and are doing it to preserve health care for migrants, trans people, and dead people.

Long live Murray Rothbard. All praise to anarcho-capitalists who depend on hard work and meritocracy. Surely, they'll reject any evil handouts from the government.
I honestly cannot believe they are just coming out and saying this...
Bessent on Argentina: "The plan is as long as President Milei continues with his strong economic policies to help him, to bridge him to the election, we are not going to let a disequilibrium in the market cause a backup in his substantial economic reforms."

When critical race theorists point out that “neutrality” and “objectivity” are often a thin veneer for white supremacy, they mean stuff like this.

The journal was established in 1960 with funding from segregationists, who designed it to serve as a mouthpiece for their views.

Another early editor was Herbert Charles Sanborn, (14] formerly the chair of the department of Philosophy and Psychology at Vanderbilt University from 1921 to 1942.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
