Reinstate death penalty for killing unarmed strangers
Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.
Cleaning worker who mistakenly went to wrong home fatally shot: Police
The shooting victim died from a gunshot wound to the head, the coroner's office said.

Suckers believe Republicans will negotiate after the government is reopened, even though they didn’t negotiate before it closed. Senate Democrats gave up the only leverage they had.

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.
When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The piece makes reasonable arguments, but I think the idea that "the dems can go to the mat and not pay a political price" got wiped out by the surrender. They DID have the public at their backs. They squandered that.

Moreover, unless there is an incredible wave of public backlash against higher health insurance prices that debate is now over & lost unless & until Dems regain power. Rs know that they can take the pain & force (enough squishy) Dems to cave on it now & will not themselves cave on it in the future.
