I know nothing about Joel Lava’s politics or positions. But I am very angry he lost in the primaries. The US would be a better place if we could have heard (the Democratic) Speaker of the House proclaim, “the floor is Lava’s”

We need to change the narrative. STOP saying we can afford universal healthcare. START saying our current system is rife with fraud, bureaucracy, inefficiency and companies that maximize profits to the detriment of health. If Yale, Bernie, and Cato agree you know it’s obvious. #econsky

One day in the not too distant future many independents will say “if I had known X, Y, or Z at the time I wouldn’t have supported him/them”. This will be an egregious lie. All the information is fully available and has been for years. PS same goes for the “both sides are the same” crowd.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways: First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices. Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

Just your daily reminder that the last time the Republican shut the government down was to defund the ACA and this time they are refusing to fund the ACA and Medicaid so they can give a $1.1 trillion tax cut to the richest Americans. I simply don’t understand how this could be any more clear cut.
