A crystal clear explanation from @paulwaldman.bsky.social of the GOP's thinking, both now, as it pertains to their government shutdown, and looking ahead to the next couple of years.

Paul Waldman @paulwaldman.bsky.social · 22h

These two things are true at the same time:

1. Republicans don't care about health care

2. They may still try to destroy Obamacare once and for all

Remember, they've got a reconciliation bill next year, with no filibuster.

My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/republican...

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

Chinese pilots made the fewest approaches toward Japanese airspace in more than a decade this spring and summer, even as Beijing increased its drone flights near Japan’s westernmost island, according to Japan’s Joint Staff.

Beijing scales back airspace challenges but boosts drone activity, Tokyo says

Japan Air Self-Defense Force pilots scrambled 265 times to meet foreign aircraft from April to September, down from 358 during the same period last year.
