The fear has materialized:
“The Texas A&M University System will vote on Thursday on whether to prohibit faculty at its 11 universities from teaching “race or gender ideology” unless those lessons are pre-approved by each campus president or a delegate.”

Here’s what’s really obscene: Dems want to keep the ACA fight going because they think it’s their ‘winner’ issue for the midterms. They do not care about healthcare.

"In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population."

Kaine is such a disappointment. What was the purpose of the shutdown that yields a "promise" from the Republicans. They lie and have always voted to repeal healthcare! We will continue to be hurt by this administration. The cave is just that and voters will no longer support people they can't trust

Kaine is SELLING OUT the voters like he always does. Almost as bad as Fetterman.
This "deal" offers nothing but a "promise" of a "future vote" on ACA that Dems have ZERO chance of winning, along with THIS perk for Congress. (from CNN)

I am sorry, but we will NO LONGER be treated like children. Kaine is not running again and faces no election. Senator Warner does - so this vote for them is not about conviction - it is running cover for each other.
