Is this bad? I mean, offhand, I'd say it kind of seems bad.

Yes, everyone knows that when you carve bronze ingots, they magically turn into pure brass.

On Nov. 11, I always think of Mendel Good, who would spend his Remembrance Day visiting schools in Ottawa and talking about his life and loss.

Essentially, it’s D0JE:

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

I have this right — and please correct me if I am wrong:

Vaccines are a Big Pharma conspiracy but antibodies from big, beautiful, H5N1-infected ostrich eggs can miraculously detect and treat viruses from Covid to avian flu.

So essentially voting to end the shutdown was all about him?
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

They can’t really be this clueless, right?
Shaheen: "I think we can get a bipartisan bill out of the Senate that will address this [healthcare] issue. And if not, we know that the voters are going to know who's on their side and who's going to hold them accountable."

But the deal to end the shutdown will definitely help to make them feel less frustrated.
Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

If I have this right — and please correct me if I am wrong:

The Democrats believe the most effective strategy in this situation is to give up all its leverage for a 30% chance of success.
Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."

These guys are constantly saying that Dems need to abandon identity politics and run on kitchen-table issues. They get the most kitchen table-ass candidate imaginable, spend months saying he's secretly radical, then as soon as he wins they say he's secretly moderate.
