"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

The people that have a chronic health condition, or have a spouse or child with one, and will be facing a premium of $1000-$2000 more each month for health insurance simply cannot go without health insurance. It will be financial ruin or possibly death for them.

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.

There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.

Another horrifying consequence of Republican abortion bans that block women from getting the basic health care they need.
Every Republican should have to answer for this.

Well, I guess the lemonade is that Republicans are all anti-insurance companies now. On the other hand, we could get those subsidies passed if United Health and Cigna would just donate to the ballroom....I am not even being facetious. This regime works on extortion and bribery.

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.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
