While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Twelve hours of suspenseful "Will they? Won't they?" reportage about the House. Before that, same with Senate.

Simple rule — GOP quislings always bow to Trump — made these foreseeable from the get-go.

(Will stop believing in this rule, when there's an exception to it. So far, none.)

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

We don't know (and I doubt) that Wiles can rein in Musk, but the fact that they felt like they had to put this story out there shows they are feeling political heat. They're probably lying and it's all on background, which is why the political heat should not abate.

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.

4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20.

GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states.
