So not only did they cave, but the Dems were in-on outlawing all cannabinoid products too in the deal?
Well THAT seems like a great way to purge the stoner votes from the rolls.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov need to make an understandable plan for health-care once Obamacare is gone.
Don't just say, "Single Payer like Sweden."
Name names. THIS person will lead it. THESE experts will run these departments. HERE'S the structure of it and why it works.

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.

Ed Martin posted this document — alleged to be a pardon from Trump dated Friday — on X tonight.
It purports to pardon “all U.S. citizens” for efforts relating to alternative elector slates and “efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities” in connection with the 2020 presidential election.

Do you hear this, @democrats.senate.gov and @schumer.senate.gov?
Don't waste the work and sacrifice we've made. Get that year and make them negotiate.
Maybe this time you all can come up with something better than Romneycare!

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

HMRC trial of child benefit crackdown wrongly suspected fraud in 46% of cases
HMRC trial of child benefit crackdown wrongly suspected fraud in 46% of cases
