This. This right here. And "we just don't want too" could apply to plenty of other things too.
It was always a bullshit argument from those who never wanted to do anything.
Now that China is aggressively moving on renewables, the goalposts have moved again and there are new arguments why Western nations shouldn’t do it. It’s the closest we’ve gotten to the honesty of “we just don’t want to”

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

"concoct" is doing LOTS of work there.
Kevin Hassett on the October jobs report: "We'll maybe be able to concoct something, but we'll never actually know for sure what the unemployment rate was in October."

When you don't know how insurance works... Or worse, are playing dumb about not knowing how insurance works so you can screw over the American people.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Exactly!!
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

This. Exactly this.
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Put the consultants and focus groups away. Just talk to your voters about the local issues they are concerned about, and talk to them like they're human beings, not a demographic.
This isn't hard.

Neither Zohran Mamdani nor Abigail Spanberger are the future of the Democratic Party.
We won’t win by imitating either campaign, but we’ll win by doing what they both did: running local-first campaigns, giving people a vision for the future, and rebuilding the American Dream for Gen Z.

GOP SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: It may be 2026 when we'll come out of the shutdown.

KENNEDY: I'm not kidding, you guys. I mean, you see what I see. Okay? This shutdown is going to last a long time. What's going to get us out of it?

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
