Or, maybe the Republicans didn’t “win” the shutdown after all, since Americans know they are willing to hurt the American people in any of a dozen different ways, including failing to prevent huge premium increases.

Can’t wait for Vance and Vermeule to explain why the Catholic bishops are wrong.
“We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people. We pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric and violence, whether directed at immigrants or at law enforcement.”

This shouldn’t be a controversial position in the United States.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

I knew there was something there. God damn.
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

DoorDash literally inflates restaurant and other prices to mask how much it actually costs to deliver shit to you and extract profit while doing so.
good news, we now officially measure the economy with the burrito taxi index
Trump admin Press Secretary citing DoorDash on local commerce price levels.

Quite possibly the most cursed ‘economic indicator’ I have ever seen.

There is no Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago. He's either confused the one in Pennsylvania or he's referring to Magnificent Mile which is an actual street with a ton of shops on it and three gallerias that last I checked were doing fine.

They were never going to get ACA subsidies, which is part of why it was a mistake to insist this was only about ACA subsidies and nothing else.
Sincere question: does anybody have any evidence that the GOP/WH would have eventually folded and extended the ACA subsidies if the shutdown continued?

I haven’t seen any. The President didn’t seem to feeling any pressure. No GOP Senator AFAIK expressed any concern. (Some Reps did)

It is amazing to me that Democrats in the Senate continually vote against the wishes of their base. I cannot remember the last time Republicans voted against the wishes of theirs.

Senate brain is a disease.
like i say every few weeks (annoying all my followers), in a crisis like this, people are scared, and they are looking for leaders they can trust — people who they think will fight for them, and defend them when it gets bad.

now think about the message democrats sent today.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I’m a furloughed federal employee and I endorse this message.
Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.

So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?

Seriously?

We should stop calling them trad Cath because they are absolutely repugnant to Catholic tradition, whether American or otherwise. They are heretics.
Immigration is a central if not primary feature of American Catholicism. For its often-awful flaws, it gave people new to these shores a sense of belonging and dignity in a country frequently determined to deny them both. This is antithetical to nearly two centuries of religious practice.
state of the trad catholic discourse on the other site is debating whether undocumented immigrants should be able to receive the Eucharist if you were wondering how that was going
