It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election.
Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.

The cracks in the Republican Party are turning into full fractures. On Truth Social, Trump urged his own supporters to back “independent” Andrew Cuomo instead of Republican Curtis Sliwa, writing, “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice.”

When I was a teenager the LAPD would routinely do this outside punk shows in Hollywood.
The Ramones are playing at the Palladium? Better get the mounted squad out. It was exactly this much WTF.
Only thing surprising me here is that all these years later they're still using horses, not tanks.
