Lightning is 10 but has the face of a puppy. Obviously uses an excellent moisturizer. His owner passed away, leaving him in need of a new home. If you adopt him, he promises to share his beauty secrets.

WISE WORDS. (Maybe it comes with hitting your sixties? I dunno if I feel that wise, but I recognize healthy advice when I hear it!)
It’s okay for folk to be upset and express being upset with the party they support.
We can be upset… and still support the party..,

It's an old joke but I always liked it - mostly because it was told to me when I took over a manufacturing company in Western MA in the early 2000s and for the first time had a business card that said "CEO". So here goes:

There are two big problems with the “the Dem strategy wasn’t working argument.” One is that it was. The other is that changing the strategy did not require capitulation.

The thing about ACA is that if an American describes how it works to someone from literally anywhere else, the other person will be utterly horrified at its deliberate cruelty.
The way the horror of pre-ACA healthcare sounds to an American, is basically how ACA sounds to everyone else on earth.

Watching millions of people get slo-mo ripped away from their healthcare this evening while I'm making a shopping list for my colonoscopy prep is...a little too on the nose?

Can't say I agree on much with this gentleman, but this? Oh yeah.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

there is nothing “moderate” about siding with MAGA to impose crushing health insurance price hikes on tens of millions.
The Senate voted to advance a GOP bill to reopen the government after a bloc of moderate Dems dropped their party’s health care demands

This might sound crazy, but travel disruptions at Thanksgiving would have been … good? It would have driven home why we need a functional government. Dems could have capitalized. Instead, they worried more about disrupted travel than people getting thrown off their health insurance. Unbelievable.

The right cannot be "fixed." It must be defeated. The same is true of Dems like Schumer. They cannot be cajoled into serving a better set of interests. They are constitutionally incapable, and what's more, they don't want to. We aren't part of their priority set.
