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?

Recently met someone who was very surprised to hear I didn’t use ChatGPT or any LLM.
I said my job depended on doing distinctive work. That was my selling point. If I started to sound like ChatGPT and turn out what it did, then how on earth could I justify doing it? What would that make me?

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

they're not just fucking with the rule of law and the functioning of our democratic system, they're also undermining the basic compact of our federal union
In one sense, this is the Admin recklessly undermining basic norms of liberal democracy.
In another sense, this is the sweatiest flailing around since Giuliani was giving conferences outside a landscaping shop. It's just blindly groping around for any lever of power, regardless of how dumb it is.

The chaos and unrest is being instigated by Miller and Trump.
They are the ones bringing violence and disorder to American cities, filming it, and then using those images of their creation to justify the need to send in more troops and assert total control.

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”
Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.
There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.
This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

I think something people struggle with that I personally can't relate to is that nothing really shuts down someone trying to strong-arm you like a resolute, challenging "no, you're not going to do that".

Trump spending the first NFL Sunday watching tennis should be the story.
BREAKING: Trump makes his first appearance at the US Open. There were audible boos and a few light claps.
Important to stress the stadium is at most 10% full and the start time has been pushed to 2:30pm ET.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
