Broken worse, maybe. I plumb forgot about it. (Plum? what does plum/plumb even mean here?)

Thank you -- Operation PARRIS, which violates international as well as U.S. law and breaks a fundamental promise to refugees, is not getting enough attention.

But the now vs. long-term divide between Malinowski/Mejia carries through to other areas.

Malinowski is for "Medicare for all who want it," probably the most plausible path the single-payer.

Mejia is for Medicare for All, which won't happen this side of a revolution. 5/
