No, the available evidence was the WH/GOP was willing to watch it all burn down rather than compromise. Political Nihilism.
So of course, the rational response is to bend over and thank them for the kick in the backside.
No, wait, that can't be right....

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)

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

this seems like a great time to remind everyone that Donald Trump funded - at least in part - his legal defense by taking donations from everyday Americans.
I don't think he's due a refund by any measure, but if one is given, shouldn't his donors get THEIR money back?

A district court would preliminarily enjoin the razing but SCOTUS would stay the PI and allow the razing to occur while litigation concerning the razing’s legality proceeds.
As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

Charlie Kirk's murder really has become a one-size-fits-all excuse for the right.
No matter what they want to do -- crack down on free speech, let Trump rule like a king, even gerrymander their states* -- they point to Kirk's assassination and pretend it was all about their current grievance.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
