House votes for $1 billion in D.C. cuts while seeking to avert shutdown
It is unclear what additional avenues remain for D.C. to advocate for a reversal of the cuts as the bill heads to the Senate.

4. Don’t grade on a curve
This goes both ways. Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

This isn’t about politics—it’s about saving lives. Allowing RFK Jr. to oversee America’s health policy is like handing the keys to a car to someone who’s already crashed it. We can’t afford to take that risk.
