The Medicaid cuts are going to eliminate health care for many poor people and devastate the rural and safety net hospital system. They are going to take a wrecking ball to whatever passes for an eldercare system in this country. They are an assault on the disabled and essentially eugenic in nature

Every "debate" over minority rights boils down to the same thing: is this demographic a legitimate thing to be in our society, just as good as any other, and whose full participation in that society we seek to facilitate, or a less legit thing whose participation we have no obligation to facilitate?

Democracy is a fragile cooperative equilibrium outcome that national Democrats have overwhelmingly decided to respond to defections from by simply pretending they are not happening.

Once again: You cannot threaten autocrats with democracy. Democratic accountability requires incumbents to be willing to lose
What I'll never understand abt "moderate" Dem enthusiasm for risking it all to do a deal w Republicans is that the regime has ALREADY SHOWN that they will act in defiance of existing civil rights & appropriations laws. Why on earth would you expect them to comply with the stipulations of any deal?

Why are these dingdongs broadcasting their gullibility this publicly? Why are they highlighting that all they got is a completely non-enforceable promise from serial liars?
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
