Keep it up, Andy. Arizonans don’t like people who like pedophiles and won’t support them for governor.

Fact check: True. (The GOP have proposed killing the ACA quickly by repealing the law and have proposed killing it slowly by ending subsidies.)

Before tonight, the public almost universally blamed the GOP for premiums skyrocketing, but now the public will likely blame the Democrats, too, I assume?

And, senator, how many people will die because they can’t afford insurance without a subsidy and won’t get to vote in Nov. 2026?

It would be one thing if the GOP killed the filibuster to help average Americans, but they would use it to rip away health insurance, give even more tax cuts for the 1%, etc. In short, they would do the exact OPPOSITE of what the electorate showed last night it wants. Do it, GOP!

The causative association between driving around with a whale head on your car is not sufficient to say you're definitely a sicko. But it is very suggestive.

I find it ridiculous that we’re talking of “terms” and “election.” Trump doesn’t want to be elected to a third term. No, he wants to be president for life—no limits, no elections, no expiration date.

So which is it: Trump is “governing by decree” OR Trump is ”ruling by decree”? That’s the only real debate left.

Yes, and anybody who thinks the GOP will surrender any power in 2027 or 2029—regardless of the election results—is delusional.

She writes, "Mr. Kirk’s assassination should spur universities to do their part to protect and cultivate the free and safe exchange of ideas." She doesn't get the irony: Kirk did NOT believe in "free & safe exchange of ideas" as his group threatened anybody who disagreed with its ideas.

So? It just gives license for Trump's DOJ to release a scrubbed Epstein report that implicates only Democrats. This reminds me of everyone going nuts saying, "The Mueller report will nail Trump & the GOP will break with him." How'd that turn out?

I have little doubt that the UA president will sign. If he does, we'll see next steps (i.e. protests, resignations, shifting of resources to other institutions that respect academic freedom, etc.).
