Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

The vote in the Senate on cloture for the "new" "compromise" bill has been sitting at 56 yes, 40 no for almost an hour. This is going to be close.

Hold the line Democrats. If you vote to approve the continuing resolution now all you will have done is shown Republicans that the crueler they are, the more likely they will succeed.

There are currently two states in the country that don’t have a budget. North Carolina is one of them.

Something is up. They have all voted on the Collins amendment, but the results have not been announced 45 minutes later. Have Republicans come up with another carrot amendment to get Murkowski and Collins to vote Yes on the Big Beautiful Bill?

The Democratic reaction to Mamdani's win in the NYC mayoral primary is why I am registered as an independent, and will not support the Democratic party fundraising efforts. I may give to individual Democratic candidates, but not to this party. And they wonder why their approval rating is so low.
