12) With the way the CR/minibus fight ended, real doubts about whether the Dems are smart... at least their leadership. Republicans negotiated good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
What was the Dem ldrship negotiating strategy? Pretend to be one way to the public and another in private. Not good.

They didn’t patch the flat, but promised a “comprehensive inflation plan” by spring.

On the good news side, while I had a couple of flights rescheduled, it was early, and neither flight this weekend was delayed much (about 5 minutes for one flight). I think it probably could have been a lot worse.

A Final Indignity: Cuomo's White Ford Bronco Got a Parking Ticket
Thanks to an eagle-eyed New Yorker, who saw the car illegally parked outside of the ex-gov's Sutton Place apartment on Wednesday, and reported it to 311.

Why do humans need better cooling than furry mammals? 🏃♂️☀️
We evolved to run and stay active for hours in hot, open environments. Losing most fur and sweating a lot lets us cool down quickly, much better than breathing fast or resting in the shade like most mammals.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

Finally we have an updated answer to the question "If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?"
How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.
