Guess which country is NOT shut down? Argentina and they have free and universally accessible insurance for all residents (private HC is available too) Guess what is still being funded during the US shutdown? The assistance package of up to $20 billion to Argentina.

Alaska summit = Art of the No Deal. Donald promised a Putin ceasefire or bigly consequences. HE went in chest-thumping, came out empty-handed, maybe even offered up U.S. resources to please Putin. Now Zelensky rolls in with NATO & EU backup. Let’s hope someone in the room knows how to close.

This blows my mind. I'm certainly not a mathematician, but I can balance my checking account. It appears to me that if current trends continue (like the “big beautiful bill”), interest on the debt could become the largest single federal expenditure within 10 years

I just switched channels to @CNN because MSNBC wasn't covering the vote. The first thing I heard was " Mike Johnson deserves some credit" . So I lasted about 3 seconds. I don't know what I was thinking. MSNBC just started coverage.

Please call your Dem senators and ask them not to support this terrible bill. Let Republicans take all the blame once it starts to affect people's lives. A government shut down is bad, but so are the things the GOP is doing. Don't help them, just let them take the blame.

Ceding even 1 inch of Ukraine won’t bring peace. Human rights abuses will worsen, Ukrainian's will be killed, and millions will flee, creating a refugee crisis in Europe. Russia will target other EU nations, emboldening China, and straining US-EU relations. Chaos, not peace, will follow.
