The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.

I’ve been kind of a broken record on this, but: no, you can’t hand it to them. You can’t work with them to get anything you want to do, done. If you do, they will take what you do and use it to hurt people. I realize that this sucks because you want to do things, but that is the way it has to be.

From the 1970s into the 2010s, a statement like this would not have coded as particularly partisan or leftist. The fact that virtually no Republican public figure could have said this today is a sign of how much that party has radicalized away from what used to be the center of US politics.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.
