The art of politics is to fight as hard as you can for the best possible solution while never being so stupid as to not take what you can actually get. There is no alternate universe where a Bernie-style UHC gets passed in the last 20 years. Not enough political support.

Obama got the health care plan he ran on during the election passed. It was also the only plan he could get past Joe ‘fucking asshole’ Lieberman. It likely would have gotten a public option in reconciliation but then Ted Kennedy died and they had to vote on the bill as-is. Insured ~50M uninsured.
Obama got a Republican healthcare bill passed. That’s why it sucks and costs so much. Clinton left us with a surplus because he raised taxes on the wealthy. Obama was an inexperienced but ambitious president who got his finance team from Wall Street. It got everything it wanted from him.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files.
Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected.
He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

1-6 History won’t ask whether invoking the 25th was “divisive.”
It will ask why it wasn’t used when the warning signs were screaming.
This isn’t about Trump anymore.
It’s about whether the United States still believes power requires sanity.
And right now?
The system is failing that test.

1-1 Alright. No restraint — but still grounded in reality and law.
This isn’t eccentricity.
This is a man unraveling in public while holding the nuclear codes.
The Greenland fixation is textbook grandiose delusion — the belief that personal will overrides sovereignty, law, allies, and facts.

I'm totally fed up with the Trump Administration and their gleeful carefree corruption. Do they really think there won't be consequences once they are no longer in the power position? In the end Americans won't allow the white nationalists to continue their destructive behavior. 🗽

Trump's new White House plaques as usual are self-serving and narcissistic. He's added plaques under each past president's portrait, of course deriding others while lionizing himself.
When his time is up, how long do you think those plaques will survive? 🗽
