This is when we should quickly raise a storm about. I really hoped Senator Thune had more honor had more honor.
His main emphasis of the last seven weeks was that this was a clean CR, nothing added. It was his main rationale for doing nothing on extending ACA subsidies, and tax credits.

@stephruhle.bsky.social guest who talked about immigration and migrants, said “the ethics and morality are clear.“
Roughly quoting President Carter: An ethical man thinks about what is wrong; a moral man thinks about it and dies not do it.
It is so horrifying that DJT gets away with being neither.
