I just read it and it's spot on. One declarative sentence after another, all of them chiseled and illuminating. "Loathing Democrats for perceived sanctimony is all the GOP has," is my favorite. "Wedgie" is not bad, either! I hope you had fun writing this. I sure had fun reading it!

The shutdown will last 10-14 days, just as long as it takes for the public to say, "no more, please help us!" Then the Republicans will nuke the filibuster, pass a CR, and take credit for saving the country. Then Trump and Vought will impound the funds for any appropriation they don't like.

Everyone could benefit from 1-2 years of education in public service after high school. For me, it was being a Head Start teacher in North Carolina. Joining the military was not a desirable option during Vietnam, and for many would not be one now

There was comment on Deadline, which often covers political stories better than the mainstream press, to wit, ABC could simply deny Sinclair the right to air Monday Night Football. This might conflict with Sinclair's network affiliate contracts, but if it doesn't, they would fold in an instant.

I'm sure they told her that Trump would use pocket recissions and impoundments to withhold funds that her constituents in Alaska need. And she said to herself, "my state comes first", instead of "principles", of which she has none

This is nonsensical. A Russian propagandist telling MAGA (i.e. Trump) that supporting Ukraine is a catalyst for political assassinations by left-wing activists? I think he was a little too deep on the vodka bottle when he made this comment
