Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.
So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?
Seriously?

From what I have seen so far this does not seem like a good deal:

Woodrow Wilson still has the record of 1200 rounds of golf played in his 8 years in office. So conservatively, Trump has to golf almost every single day left in his presidency to get close.
Also Wilson didn't golf for the last 17 months of term after a stroke, so holy crap did he like golf before.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Fun fact about ginseng - the vast majority of it is not grown in China, but in Wisconsin, and parts of Ontario. The mostly MAGA farmers are getting crushed because of tariffs and China just buying from Canada. There's no real market here so prices are crashing.

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

Another thing about Epstein -
At one point I was worried that Trump would doxx all the Epstein victims for <<reasons>>, and release nothing else.
But then I remembered that if a victim was already outed nationally - there's really no reason for them not to go public and sue him.

He's narrowly right about the carrot cake - back when I worked at the Cheesecake Factory, a slice of their carrot cake was about 1800 calories.
Mehmet Oz on Medicaid: "We'll be there for you, the American people, when you need help, but you gotta stay healthy yourself ... don't eat carrot cake. Eat real food."

There's a history of the Chinese Great Leap Forward on my shelf called Mao's Great Famine. Given recent events, should I re-read to see how much it mirrors today, or is the Cultural Revolution a better comparison to Trump's governance?

Update: Just after I finished writing this, it occurred to me that there was no chance I was the first to think of doing this, so I did a search and sure enough, the writer Talia Lavin had the same idea months ago.
