Patty Murray thinks getting a "temporary" extension of ACA subsidy enhancements is just fine as long as it's "bipartisan"

I'll say it again: Bipartisanship is appeasement. h/t @atrupar.com

Now is not the time to do that. If they fight for us they'll win. Even if it means the government shuts down.

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

If GOP wants to abolish the filibuster over this, awesome. It helps Rs way more than Ds. It’s also a central reason for loss of faith in government over the last 25 yrs. Rs can reopen the govt tonight if they want. If they want to do it to make sure 15 million lose their health care that’s on them.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

It’s Americans who will be peacefully marching with signs and supporting democracy—and don’t want a King.

I think they're trying to incite violence ahead of the protests too.
