Update: It didn't even last a week.
The impact of the Gaza Peace Deal on American politics will be substantial if it holds for the next 3 years.

But it will not be enough to protect the Republican Party.

Kennedy was always a republican. Appointed by Ronald Reagan himself. That is why he resigned.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

This is insane. Republicans aren’t allowing Adelita Grijalva to be sworn in because she will provide the final signature necessary on a discharge petition that would force the House to take a public vote on releasing the Epstein files. Speaker Johnson has shut down the House to protect pedophiles.

A government using its tax revenue to wisely invest in infrastructure and quality-of-life-enhancing services for its residents? Whoever thought of such a thing?
Ukraine was supposed to look at the lack of support from America and give up.

Ukraine was supposed to have elections while undergoing an invasion.

Ukraine was supposed to give up in 3 days.

At least according to Russia/Putin's plan.

Stay defiant, Ukraine.
The mask is off.
Q: What do you think the likelihood is that the ceasefire lasts?

JD VANCE: *looks at Jared Kushner* Well, Jared is the investor here. I'm not going to give you a percentage.
Combine this with the game theory tree I wrote last year, based on history and political science.

This is why Putin is clamoring for Ukraine to surrender.

Putin's life depends on it.

Is Mike Johnson in the Epstein files too?
Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files
Trump is a very weak president. His majorities in congress are razor thin. His opinion polls are in the toilet. Our allies are laughing at him behind his back and moving without his permission, which is fairly unprecedented.

He has passed no major bills.

Weakest president in the modern era.
New in PN: A rickety dictatorship

"Trump’s increasingly desperate attempts to incite a civil war in advance of the midterms and the rejection of his party’s healthcare evisceration each demonstrate growing vulnerabilities of the nascent MAGA tyranny."
A rickety dictatorship
Trump's hand of cards is weaker than it appears.

Absolutely, rural highways take a majority of the money and carry a minority of traffic. I've driven I-90 in Washington many times since my family lives on both sides of the mountains.
It would literally be cheaper to expand public transit and make it fare free compared to what we are doing now, in every urban region in the country.
It’s safe to say every city, county, and state spends significantly more on car infrastructure than public transit and all rail infrastructure every year.

Yet transit is supposed to pay for itself while highways never do and are never expected to.

Why is he doing it? Because his billionaire friends don’t want to lose their investments.

Please don’t ask taxpayers to bail you out.
