My two year old has more courage when he dared to follow through with his threat to leave the house naked today if he can’t bring frozen waffles on the car.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

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.
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?

You could just AB test this against the original polar bears, and it's so painfully obvious why one is iconic and that this never could be

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

It rules to be on the left and be repeatedly proven right about capitalism and then be the only political group to not benefit from being proven right about capitalism.

the only thing keeping Trump v US from topping the list of worst Supreme Court decisions imo is that it hasn’t (yet) led to the dissolution of the United States washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...
It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly
While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

If so, it is time to start crafting some cool-ass laws. What a time to be a state legislator or an AG in a blue state. The Supreme Court just said you no longer have a boss. It's the last day of school, Democratic state majorities and AGs! Time to abuse some power.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery
These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!
