We're nearly a decade deep into politics driven by "vote-against".
We The People want something to vote FOR.
"Do you want (X) to win?" is not a policy position, it's a confession that the only alternative you're offering is "anti-(x) vibes".

President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

Agree with and appreciate Rachel's summary here.
After almost three decades, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.
This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:

Tim Kaine is probably the most prominent elected official talking about the very real threat and struggle of long COVID and he just consigned millions to being screwed with ACA subsidies expiring.
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal
“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.
