i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

You have to articulate the problem you have instead of just venting, or else you sound like “people journal about their depression and the notebook industry just sits back and watches it happen”

I do use ChatGPT for work sometimes (software engineer).

But this prompt on Reddit? "Create a photo of what society would look like if I was in charge given my political views, philosophy, and moral standing no matter how controversial"

My political views? ChatGPT knows nothing of them. WTF?!?

“uncle,” or “cousin,” (and any older Indian person I actually call “auntie” and “uncle”) and I’m pretty sure that’s quite common among South Asians

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.
