The mainstream media seems more alarmed about college student protesters or transgender kids than Earth becoming uninhabitable.

. . . to end the government shutdown without any concessions from the GOP . . . Mushy, mealy-mouthed triangulation doesn't work! It looks weak and inauthentic, and inspires exactly no one to work for you, or trust you, or trust the party.
