It's a mistake to think of the so-called "red states" as your enemies instead of as your potential allies who've been captured by the fash and abandoned by Dem electeds on a national scale because of the theoretical "blue wall" that was supposed to be enough as opposed to a 50-state strategy.

Well done to the Dems for re-opening the government so the GOP can get back to work and demonize a plant.

Tony Dungy said that Dan Campbell hasn't called plays before as head coach.
He has, but it was years ago now. I don't remember where I heard him talk about it but I distinctly remember that.

I love the photo of the guy at the Commanders game right under Trump in the suite window giving him a double birdie.
Don't even know if it's real but I still love it.

TBH the two wolves inside of me are currently in a death match between cynicism and hope.
this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

IDK how true these reports from anonymous insiders are about Dems capitulating
BUT
En arguendo: These reports come out as other reports of air travel coming to a halt only tells me that PEOPLE didn’t sway them, CORPORATIONS sway them.

I actually would have died in my early 20s from my gallbladder failing back then...and that's if I survived that long. I was born cesarean. I suspect a great many of us wouldn't be around to need further healthcare had we been born over a century ago.
I don't even understand this argument.

I just saw someone say that people back in the day (1800s) didn’t pay for healthcare and (1) y’all there was a lot of advertising for health products!
It was just that without any real regulation, nobody knew what worked.
