This is bonkers-speak. No. You're in an airport - one of the strangest-feeling and most grindingly stressful spaces in modern social life. What you want is for everything to work perfectly first time so your already jittery nervous system doesn't explode & you can leave it as quickly as possible.

Thousands of New Jerseyans are being forced to choose between buying health care for their families or putting food on their tables because of the crisis Republicans have created. Senate Republicans need to join with Democrats and lower the cost of health insurance for Americans.

1. I agree with this take 2. This is far more optimistic than I'm used to seeing from The Bulwark and I'm down with it.
"They wanted this to go differently."
The crackdown isn’t going as planned. Courts are blocking schemes, cities are pushing back, and protesters are making life very uncomfortable for Trump’s enforcers.
