They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Another thing about the press in this era is they don't report anymore!! You don't have to present the two arguments here, you can actually just go verify!

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

"Why don't they just apply for citizenship?"
This is a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
But the pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

Ask Matt Walsh what the Founders and the first oh 200 years of America thought about Catholics. Total bigoted dumbass. Shame that Dearborn Michigan sided with him in protest.

the lesson "it's not the crime it's the cover up" has morphed a bit to: "if there's no cover up can we really say there was a crime?"
The final stage of the Master Plan is here - the stage when people in power stop trying to hide anything, stop trying to create a pretense, and proudly declare that they "do not care" about corruption.

prager u has an animated christopher columbus telling kids that slavery was something that happened throughout history and when you consider the alternative was death it's not so bad. various school districts are paying or intend to pay prager u to use this and similar content in your public schools
1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this?
2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
Is that what he is doing? Fighting crime? Phew. I thought he was using federal power to assert power over the country’s capital

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.
