I've never understood, by the way, the bizarre Republican obsession with taking healthcare away from people. I mean, first of all, I mean Mitt Romney did it in Massachusetts and it was a Republican idea. Like, people are getting free healthcare in the emergency room. Let's stop that. No freeloaders. We're Republicans. I just don't get it. How many times did they try to kill Obamacare? Then they did get rid of the mandate. It still survived. But this is the only leverage Democrats have.

Democrats want to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that millions rely on and undo health spending cuts from President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Warnock told Morning Edition that Georgians in rural areas have expressed concerns about losing access to health care. He said a small business owner told him she decided to close her business because paying for health insurance would be too expensive without ACA subsidies. The senator told NPR's Leila Fadel that the White House should "stop acting like these are pieces on a chessboard. These are people's lives."

House Oversight Democrats/XHouse Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement accompanying the release of Epstein documents that the convicted sex offender's estate turned over to the panel criticized Democrats for "cherry-picking documents and politicizing" the information.

It's delusional in the extreme to think that investors, even in magical-thinking Silicon Valley, would be willing to put money into a project with absolutely no possibility of being profitable. Public projects are for public benefit, not profits. The central question respecting the high-speed rail now is whether, short of making all the money in the world available to build it, it can be built at all in the current century.

The Republican president is proudly promoting the work of roughly 2,000 National Guard troops in the city, loaned by allied governors from at least six Republican-led states. They're in place to confront what Trump describes as an out-of-control crime wave in the Democratic-run city, though violent crime in Washington, like dozens of cities led by Democrats, has been down significantly since a pandemic high.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's involvement in tracking down missing Texas lawmakers raises concerns about its neutrality as a law enforcement agency, potentially acting as an instrument of Republican power.

The issue is not voter fraud claims but legislation that would hide from the ballot the cost to taxpayers of pricey local tax measures.

Recent actions by the Trump Administration, including the deployment of troops and a military parade, threaten to politicize America's military and jeopardize civil-military relations. President Trump has publicly criticized Democratic politicians during a speech at Fort Bragg, urging an audience to boo his opponents, which creates an impression of the military serving partisan interests.

Donald Trump has faced criticism for choosing ... unqualified partisan hacks, yet Jeanine Pirro’s appointment stands out as she combines partisan loyalty with actual prosecutorial experience.

When judges act as partisan hacks, it is important to condemn their conduct. Just as important is lauding the Republican judges who stand up against election subversion.

I guess it depends on what you want your how you want to spend your nights, getting yelled at by unhinged boomer Democrats.
