Sunday morning thoughts on Gamecock football, week twelve:

Even Mike Elko doesn’t know what happened.

Entering Saturday, according to ESPN, the last time an SEC team clawed back from a twenty-seven-point deficit wa 2004.

Entering the second half on Saturday, Carolina held a twenty-seven-point

Live look at me watching Carolina blow a twenty-seven–point halftime lead over the No. 3 team in the country.

"Matt Gaetz Drugged and Raped a Minor"

Fixed that one for you, @nytimes.com.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Trump is going to take a very loud victory lap tomorrow and blame the democrats for all the bad shit that has happened in the shutdown and it’s probably going to work

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

Entering November, has South Carolina football finally fixed its offense?
The Gamecocks offense was much improved against Alabama. Will it be enough for South Carolina to beat Ole Miss or Texas A&M?

How many voters need to scream at these people that what they want is not “moderate” policies but SOMEONE WHO ISN’T TRANSPARENTLY A FUCKING COWARD
My main takeaway on the “moderation” debate is that Democrats would be better served by other debates besides left-right positioning, like how to develop new valence issues (corruption!) as wedge issues, and how to get attention for their policy proposals in the first place
