I actually do want the next president to appoint someone like Stephen Miller, except I want it to be Bill Kristol, and I want his monomaniacal obsession to be destroying Trump’s legacy and prosecuting everyone in the administration.

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

He's a weak avuncular type always working full throttle behind the scenes against me.
I gotta say the evidence that Schumer is secretly controlling the cave caucus is some real thin gruel. It basically rests on the assumption of a level of Senate partisan discipline normally seen in a parliamentary democracy when it isn't just leaning on even grosser "perfidious jew" tropes.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

There is no universe in which Senate Republicans vote to extend ACA subsidies.
It. Will. Not. Happen.
All Senate Democrats can do is make it excruciatingly clear to the American people that this is the logical consequence of giving Republicans complete control of the government.

Measles was once considered eliminated in Canada, but not anymore — there have been more than 5,000 cases in the last 12 months as vaccination rates have fallen. Here's how they got there, and why other countries — including the U.S. and Mexico — are also at risk of losing their status.

just saying if one of the 8 folding Dems wants they can use this as an excuse to change their mind and not give Trump exactly what he wants
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.
