If you don’t stand up for rule of law, nothing else matters. It’s the mechanism of accountability in democracies. If Trump can do anything he wants with shutting down agencies, it’s naive to imagine he will follow the rules in elections and beyond. Preserving rule of law is existential to democracy.

So now we get in a pissing contest where each side tries to show how much they can hurt each other, people who have been friends and partners forever, things just keep getting ratcheted up, and everyone loses. All because of one malignant narcissist’s derangement and fragile ego.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Well, if more kids have to die of cancer, that’s just the price we have to pay to be sure that half-trillionaire and government leech Elon Musk doesn’t have to pay remotely his fair share of taxes.
I had mistakenly thought the Dem-controlled Senate was able to pass all the pediatric cancer provisions that the House GOP cut after Musk's tantrum. But only a small funding extension for an existing program ultimately passed. The more significant other provisions (first four items below) are dead.
