This would be the biggest privatization scheme of a federal social program in decades, if not ever
Trump: I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own insurance. They will feel like entrepreneurs. Call it Trumpcare… anything but Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster just like he was.

"we made this issue a major factor, and then we unilaterally abandoned it, betraying our base and millions who rely on ACA. you have to understand this is what the senate is for."

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

you cannot create a viable third party without changing the constitution.
to change the constitution, you need control of one of the major political parties, at minimum.
anyone refusing to accept this is a fucking child i'm tired of entertaining.

People get mad on here when you criticize Buttigieg but let’s be extremely honest for a moment.
In no world does a Black gay man, Mayor of Cleveland Ohio or something get anywhere near the attention Buttigieg got in 2019-20 which propelled him to a national career.

Mamdani won literally 100x more votes than Pete did; it remains absurd and insulting he's a national figure

He’ll hold a vote, the vote will fail, Durbin will act like that matters, and we’ll all go on our merry way. Plus Susan Collins will get another meaningless vote to burnish her “moderate” credentials, as she always does when it doesn’t matter.
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

I try not to say things like this on here, but the President of the United States can go straight to hell
Uh, the idea of having air traffic controllers "quickly replaced" is not very reassuring.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

When I tried to ask Sen. Kennedy about health care he said “I don’t have anything for you.” Funny how he doesn’t have any folksy Foghorn Leghorn colloquialisms when he actually has to be a responsible governing adult.

Three recurring themes I’ve noticed about us* since beginning seminary
1. We do not fear God enough
2. We do not believe God loves us.
3. We seek the love of God in temporal possessions and faint and fleeting feelings of bliss
*us, as in the collective “we”

it is absolutely true that "the gospel is political but not partisan" insofar as per se support for a given political party is not the content of the gospel
but if that becomes "one party supports pepper spraying the baby, so you can't talk about that or you're being partisan" we should all go home

Schumer should pay for this, but the GOP should pay way more.
They are literally a death cult and come December will vote to decimate healthcare subsidies for millions of people.
