Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

And let's not forget, they did away with the rule that Buttigieg implemented when he was Transportation Secretary under Biden that airlines had to refund passengers when flights were cancelled.

My wife and I volunteered at a Sacramento Food Bank distribution last Tuesday. Typically this bi-weekly distribution gets 200-250 families; this week we had over 350, and we ran out of food. That's never happened before at this distribution. People are scared of not having enough to eat.

Prosecutors broke with tradition and didn’t fight to uphold the conviction.
In fact, the DA urged the court to overturn it: “Every single medical expert, using current science, confirms that Russell and Kaye Maze are actually innocent."
