Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.

OK,, here's the thing, without them caving, the Republicans were no closer to a deal either and were LOSING in terms of public opinion. If the Ds could cave tonight, the Rs could have caved tomorrow, or next week. GTFOH!
King: So I believe that we are closer tonight to a vote on the ACA tax credits than we were this morning. This agreement tonight is a win for the American people.

Major media seem flummoxed about what to do when Trump shares a fake video of Obama getting arrested. Maybe they think the options are A) take the bait, or B) ignore it. But there's a 3rd option: Gather all the crazy examples and write big, loud stories about how the president is mentally unhinged.

Trump's pettiness and small-minded vengefulness takes the place of actual policy making. It taints the air in the executive branch like a forgotten bag of trash in a warm house on a summer day—even when you can’t see it, you know it’s there.

VERY IMPORTANT to label this as what it is, The Police State Executive Order. it's not an exaggeration. This is the inner wiring of a police state.
The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

As to the substantive goal, if you want Trump to comply with the law, you can't just say "we really mean it" or accept a GOP pinky swear. You have to make him comply at the outset, and then fund the government in short bursts so he knows he can't easily renege. www.offmessage.net/p/its-crunch...
