The ACA framework was the Republican plan. From the heritage foundation, to Romneycare, to the ACA. They walked away from all that because Obama and Dems proposed it. Theyāve had 15 years to offer alternatives and havenāt. They have nothing.

Notwithstanding that Birthright Citizenshipās popularity doesnāt mean shit- itās enshrined in a constitutional amendment and buttressed with generations of jurisprudence. If we think we can start just horse trading with stuff like that we really donāt have a constitution or rule of law at all.

Can I just say, voting for Trump all three times and then calling yourself a āmoderate New England Republicanā is moderate New England Republican stolen valor; especially in a state where its moderate Republicans denounced Trump at least once and/or are independents now.

The reason I want to see Secretary Hegseth and Admiral Bradley charged with murder, based on what we know, isn't because I hate the US military. It's because I served in the US military and respect it, and want to see its honor restored.

Trump, Vance, and Miller have inherited wealth and power they did not earn, achieved through advancement of values they do not share, at a cost they cannot comprehend. Like every other degenerate child of privilege they think their birthright is THE REWARD and not THE RESPONSIBILITY

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

To simplify: the thing that made American higher-ed unique was the institutional organization around education as a PUBLIC GOOD, rather than as an elite training ground, or job training. This aspect is nearly dead, killed by a thousand budget cuts.

US natural gas (methane) price are up 50% in the past month or so as new export facilities start exporting more LNG (methane). Often these US export facilities are owned by foreign entities (Japan, Qatar, etc).Japan is also buying up gas production assets in TX to supply the gas for export. (1/2)

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.
