The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

"...how does the cost of net zero compare to the cost of where we don’t take any more action on climate change, or delay action? At least 3 analyses have found that it is far cheaper for Australia to make a well-coordinated effort to reach net zero by 2050."

The climate crisis is expensive: net zero is cheaper for Australia than not doing more
The Coalition claims net zero by 2050 will cost too much – but unchecked warming or even a delayed transition would be worse for the economy

First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.
Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.
And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

The fact that I'm only in my 40s and missed by only a decade or so being alive at the same time as a former American slave further brings home for me just how recent slavery was
