Voters discover that hot stove, yet again, turns out to be hot
Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.
Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.
63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.

I was going to go to my yearly Twins game when visiting MN in 2 weeks... but I’m not going to spend that much $ to the Pohlads now.
Oh well, maybe there’s still time to get to a Cubs game before the season ends.

My patients live at the margins of society. They don’t have much. Just getting to dialysis three times a week is a big ask. Taking from them to fund tax breaks for the rich is just cruel.
I want to be outraged but I just feel like crying.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice.
The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.
Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.
We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

An even more basic problem is that Democrats regularly conflate policy extremism with being a fighter.
And because the polls do regularly show that voters don't want more extreme leftward policy shifts, Democrats essentially throw their hands up and say "Well, guess we can't fight back."

yeah i feel like a part of the problem is that elected Dems have Axios/Semafor/Politico brain and think that the base genuinely wants them to move to the center while the actual base wants blood
a feedback loop going on in dc right now where liberal polls show voters dislike the party approach, reporters cover that disdain as being the progressive wing’s fault, and then lawmakers and staff follow that instruction because they’re relying on those refracted signals

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.
