i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts.
There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

The #Vikings’ visit with Asante Samuel Jr. is on the league’s transaction wire today. Kevin O’Connell said today he’s always liked Samuel; the corner’s return to the NFL will come down to his health after his neck injury, but he could be a fit in Brian Flores’ zone schemes.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Cop watching it happen and telling horrified onlookers to back up while the Feds kidnap a baby from a seizing man. Keeping names I hope for when this is over.
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict
But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat
And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Man, Kenny Clark and Quinnen is such a sick duo at DT, but they should be gotten SO MUCH MORE out of these deals...
so the Cowboys essentially traded Micah and Mazi Smith for Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and a move up roughly 20 spots into the back of the first round of the '26 draft.
they got no extra picks out of it

If we're doing an experiment, let's go all-in with it and see where we land.

I know that most of this is explained by the issues we've been dealing with on the OL, but I HATE to see this from the Vikings
How teams are approaching 4th down situations.
Did the Steelers finally go for a 4th down??
