This late sequence from Cooper Flagg was mega-impressive. Secures a big rebound. Takes the ball the length of the floor. Tough spin move. Finishes over Giannis through contact.
Reminder. Flagg reclassified to go to college a year early. He's still only 18.

2) I think the Senate Minority Leader has the power to cut off DNC support for Dem incumbents reelection campaigns. I think the SML has the power to take the mic in front of TV cameras and denounce the selfish anti-Dems who caved.
Schumer won't bc he's a collaborator, but he could have.

The time to replace Schumer wasn't this past weekend. It was in spring when he concocted the idea that if Dems let ppl suffer, that was good for the Democratic Party.
There is no one in the Senate today I would trust w leadership, but a new leader could at least repudiate this.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

If you actually want a more united front, the most obvious choice is replace Schumer as leader because he has zero credibility and people rightly loathe him. But at a bare minimum if you want to at least make some gesture, replace Durbin as whip. He's retiring anyway. There would be no downside.

Actuarial insurance is something you hope never to use. Social insurance is something you expect to (and should) use at different points in your life. Health insurance is a funny combination of both those things.
Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.
