The Dems constantly come up with news ways to self-sabotage. Organised labour is their natural ally at this moment, so why not start a silly fight with a union at the DNC?

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Shaheen: "All those people who oppose this agreement -- staying in a shutdown mode was not getting us anywhere. They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible. That's Trump, Johnson, & the Republicans who have blocked every attempt to get healthcare. We need to be working together."

James Comer might know a thing or two about agriculture, but his statement demonstrates how little he understands about health insurance in Western economies. How do other countries handle this issue? Do governments usually subsidise healthcare? What are the costs of failure? Comer has no idea.
Comer: "This is a fake economy. You can't have 1/3 of America receiving some type of free government healthcare and then have another 1/3 that's getting a subsidized rate. That falls on the final 1/3 that's having to pay increased premiums."

The scary aspect about Pete Hegseth is not the vast amount of immoral personal behaviour, it's his utter lack of analytical ability and historical knowledge. He is a leader who is ignorant about the past and therefore has no idea where he and the DoD should be heading.
