19: “People keep acting like the Republicans and Democrats are on two opposing teams, like surely the Democrats are going to start playing defense any day now. But the Republicans are on the field and the Democrats are IN THE STANDS WATCHING. Nobody’s left to play defense but us.”

I’m sad and I’m furious. The Senate voted to reopen without securing healthcare protections. Millions still stand to lose coverage.

The fight shifts to the House now. There are cracks. Pressure matters. If you’re in a GOP district, call your Rep.

Trump says he didn't really need to demolish the East Wing to build his fancy ballroom, but he just didn't like it and wanted it gone.

He also claimed he's built many many ballrooms and "This will be one of the greatest ballrooms in the world.”

We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.

He looks bad either way.
He either caved and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory instead of letting the GOP marinate in their own mess, or he wasn't part of this and his own whip undercut him and he doesn't have control of his caucus.

If you assume he didn't make the deal he acted differently by not making the deal.

Great analysis!

Now if we assume politicians can lie about their involvement in things, a deal to trade "pass Trump budget" for "doomed votes on other things" is classic Chuck.
No I've decided that because there literally isn't anything there. You've got literally no evidence. "Well when he behaved completely differently in the past he caved" is not in fact evidence.
I mean the thing is there is, you've just decided it doesn't count because Chuck said nuh-uh.

The fact that you don't find it sufficient to overcome the risible benefit of the doubt you've inexplicably decided to extend to Chuck Schumer does not Thanos snap it out of existence.

Wanna feel good for a minute? I am sitting in some of the worst traffic I can remember, and every single vehicle is heading to the same place: to drop items off at our community’s food drive. Hundreds of cars, bumper to bumper; people waving, smiling, crying.

Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said
