There was a report of a GOP offer to fund HSA accounts instead of restoring ACA subsidies. At least THAT would have made a difference for people affected by the loss of subsidies. The deal reportedly agreed by the Dems does absolutely fucking nothing for anyone facing ACA premium spikes. Shame.

Soundtrack to play for any Democratic Senator who rolled over in support of the Republican B.S. offer of a doomed-to-fail vote in return for giving up their only leverage in the funding fight.

Important point here.
Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Arguing about whether or not we’re experiencing autocracy or fascism or constitutional crisis is beside the point. Every small freedom we lose is gone forever unless we’re willing to fight now to keep them.

And here’s the rub. Trump’s definition of antisemitism turns more on blocking criticism of the Israeli gov’t rather than looking for real antisemitic behaviors. It also equates ANY pro-Palestinian speech with antisemitism. Free speech is a now a right only available to some under the regime.
"I am seeking clarification on how I—a student with Israeli citizenship—am allowed to speak about my government without violating these new policies."
In Israel, I protest my government. Can I do the same at Columbia?

1. Biden accomplished a lot
2. Biden should have dropped after the mid-terms
3. Dem post-mortem can't blame Biden alone
Ds must deal with aging pols (wtf Feinstein?) who stand in the way of the next gen of leaders rather than using their remaining influence to mentor rising stars.

Democrats, under immense pressure from by advisers and pundits and reporters to ape some canned line or other about Joe Biden—his age and health and presidency—should try something truly radical: deciding what they really think, and saying that. www.offmessage.net/p/in-defense...
