I'd like to see Schumer literally pilloried.
A week on the National Mall seems appropriate.

GOP says their plan will "control healthcare inflation".
WOW! No details or studies, but a powerful assertion that good times are a'comin.
It's time we all admit it.
Ezra Klein will say:

Why is this obviously harmful-to-the-nation activity taking place?
Here's how I see it. My best effort at a condensed overview:
MAGA / Trump are revolutionaries. They want a different government and social order, and don't care about short-term damage to the nation's welfare.

So much "analysis" this year about how the Dems need to
adjust their policy positions,
reach out to various demographic groups,
highlight toxic GOP stances,
improve ground & social media game,
completely missed the most significant factor in determining the outcome in 2024.

If you want to slow walk and otherwise run interference for Trump, you don't say that you're going to do it. You cloak your actions with the term Norms.
That Garland felt he had to discuss Norms in his farewell address (image) tells me that he consciously used them in service to Trump.

Saw this peculiar entry on YouTube this morning for "Gutter cleaning and repair".
Clicked and it went somewhere that triggered a couple of UNSAFE warnings from the o/s.

"Democrats lost the presidency in 2024 because they embraced too many progressive policy ideas"
No.
They lost the presidency because Biden screwed the party's chances when he decided to run for re-election.
(note: Picture taken THE DAY AFTER the Trump-Harris debate)

In Trump's mind Columbia and Venezuela are those kinda big countries at the top of South America. Easy to confuse one with another (if you are stupid).
They aren't the weird ones on the west side of the continent. Not Bolsonaro's Brazil. Not econ basket case Argentina.

Candy corn for jack-o'-lantern teeth.
Lots of people hate candy corn, and that's okay. But consider this: An unopened bag of candy corn will stay edible for a decade or more. It's excellent survival food. Extremely durable. And nobody is going to eat it (outside of Halloween) until a crisis hits.
