Any Dem senator who isn’t publicly calling for Schumer’s ouster has to be assumed complicit. They did the same trick back in March. Most didn’t vote for the CR then either.

The reality is that there is a point when it will be too late to make a meaningful difference on health care premiums—and so far, Republicans are saying “never” to stopping the worst of the MAGA health care hike.

Populism maintains power when it can convince the people it represents their will. But the result of Trump's actions has been to galvanize a popular will and citizen identity against what the people increasingly (in both intensity and numbers) cast as an invading, anti-American ideology.

I feel like you can say with some confidence that this is one area in their lives where Americans do not want to negotiate and feel like entrepreneurs.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

The Trump administration State Department is taking money that's supposed to be used for helping vulnerable refugees around the world and using it to bribe corrupt governments into taking people that ICE can't deport to their home countries.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Justice Sotomayor's first question pushed GEO on how they were stretching the precedent to create a new kind of immunity (one which they claimed had actually been there the whole time!).
She made the obvious point: if the government pays someone to break the law, why should the company be immune?
