I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

The tax cuts are being paid for by a 30% higher number of uninsured at the end of the decade and increased immiseration for low-income folks who do manage to get (and successfully jump through more hoops to keep) health insurance and SNAP benefits.
That's what we're doing here.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.
