It’s the definition of insanity—continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

How they can believe that any Republican is capable of acting in good faith is beyond me.
Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.

I’ve been of the belief for some time now that Miller and Vought are the ones running the show and Trump is just a figurehead.
Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

The Putin-Orban-Trump style of propaganda doesn't really try to convince people that lies are true, they attack truth itself with "a firehose of falsehood" or "flood the zone with shit" to frustrate and confuse.
Get regular people to go "how can I know, it's not clear, and there's so much yelling."

The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.
When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Tucker Carlson agrees with a guest on his show who says, “It turns out I think the story we got about World War II is all wrong… one can make the argument that we should have sided with Hitler.”

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms.
It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.

I think it’s partly a failure of imagination that got us here.
Could you imagine a president of the United States tanking the bond market to distract from a sex scandal?
Not possible, right? Like some kind of crazy movie script too absurd even for Hollywood?

This from a senior U.S. government official reads like a translation of a statement by a Soviet apparatchik from the 1930s, or a Maoist one from the 1960s.
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

In this speech, you can hear and see troops cheering when Trump talks about his election and booing when he talks about Joe Biden, the governor of California, and the mayor of L.A.
This sends a message that many members of our armed forces view half of our people as their opponents.
It's chilling.
