"The unfortunate conclusion to the shutdown is going to fuel a rebellion within the Democratic Party, one that has already begun but will only get stronger. And despite all the justified disgust now being expressed at Dems, in the long run it will be good for the party"

I know it’s easy for me to say as I do not rely on the ACA but many Granite Staters do. Please don’t be Charlie Brown to Lucy’s football game. We’ve been down this road before in March with the Republicans and they pulled the football then too. Hold the line! 2/2

My message to my 2 NH senators: Please do not squander the momentum gained with the latest No Kings rally and last Tuesday’s massive gains in local elections by caving to the Republicans/Trump. They do not bargain in good faith and haven’t for a long time.

I lived in KY when this thrice divorced 4 times married train-wreck was wreaking havoc in 2015. It’s been 10 years and finally the Supreme Court rejected this. She needs to slink back under her rock.

Everything that MAGA is saying right now about "retribution" for Kirk is basically a scam. It's all about creating justification for the full-scale targeting of *innocents* on the liberal-left. It's not payback or retribution in any real sense.
