Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Every response I've seen to "what about Bill?" has been "what about him?"

I’m genuinely confused reading this article what is being alleged to have happened. I assumed backchannel talks were happening with leadership’s approval, but none of what’s in the screenshots seems like Schumer dictating something that got heroically rejected by the caucus?

This. Raising politician salaries by several hundred percent would be so good for our democracy, but would be about the most toxically unpopular thing imaginable, which is a huge shame.
there is no political proposal that more divides the tiny percentage of us who live and breathe politics and literally *everyone else* than politician salaries
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.
