A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it.
A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.
Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.
That's it. That's the whole thing.

In case anyone is wondering what kind of campaign Collins intends to run next year, now we know. No achievements, only hate:

Legacy media folks were angry to be ignored for better voices and furious to hear what people thought of them on social media. Bosses were upset that a good labor market let employees leave their failure workplaces. Small town Whites were angry to see immigrants do better than them by working hard.

Guess they had to actually earn the big bucks this year? CEOs endorsed this shit overall and could have backed the nice black lady instead.
CEOs speak up.
“.. This has been an exhausting year, I’d say, for most CEOs .. The level of executive time that’s been put in this has been enormous. So instead of focusing on innovation, they’re focusing on how they deal with the tariffs.”

The power of Fox News isn’t that they push conservative ideas, it’s that they are willing to set any kind of ideological consideration aside at the drop of a hat to boost Republicans regardless of what they do at any given moment.

The Democrats erred by not forcing Republicans to nuke the filibuster. But there was nothing Democrats could have done to get the ACA subsidies extended, because Republicans control all three branches and strongly believe that only rich people should have access to decent healthcare
You can criticize Senate Democrats for capitulating but Donald Trump and Republicans are the ones destroying the ACA.
