What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself by living in areas less vulnerable to ground or sea attack from our enemies, like say, Colorado, then you should pay less for national defense than people who live in coastal or border areas more likely to need defending.
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

The Abyss Stared Back
Republicans gazed long into the Trumpian abyss and the abyss glared back. The party succumbed to Trumpism because he stripped away its intellectual pretensions. Trumpism revealed the raw thirst for power underneath.

David Bier (of Cato) tweeted that CBP apparently instructed agents to threaten witnesses with arrest for recording arrests. Now it's blowing whistles and horns. "There are a number of nearly identical instances of this exact threat.” It continues in North Carolina.

"Oftentimes"? Oftentimes men commit rape. We don't slam *random* men to the pavement and handcuff them because oftentimes men commit crimes. In the U.S., we arrest particular individuals based on specific suspicions and evidence.
