If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill

Every single American will pay more across several sectors if Medicare/Medicaid is cut. It won't just be healthcare. It will mean increased taxes, reduced property values and staggering unemployment. open.substack.com/pub/courtney...

The Reality Of Medicare Cuts (Even If You Don't Use It)

Even if you aren't enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, cutting those programs will lead to an increased financial burden for us all.

We need to take the focus off Trump and start looking at the people around him. Rubio is more complicit and has been dreaming of what’s happening since 2018. He didn’t sell his soul. He saw an opening and took it. open.substack.com/pub/courtney...

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

Everyone is talking about the huge crowds in DC, Boston, NYC ect. But you know what makes me heart sing….the videos of protests from small towns in really conservative areas. It’s harder to get people to care in places like that. And to see even 100 people-200 people—500 people is truly magical.

I liked Jasmine Crockett. I did. I was horrified by the comment she made about Greg Abbott. Even if she did not mean it as a remark on disability, it was a gaffe all the same, and instead of apologizing, she got defensive, and attacked anyone who was offended was a "political rival" It's not ok

Note that this means that other than the declaration due tomorrow (that they are actually considering state secrets), they'll get to rail against Boasberg to the D.C. Cir on Monday 3/24 before having to show cause why they violated his TRO by Tuesday 3/25.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I’m pretty annoyed with the Dems. They started strong. Then once Rep Green got removed, they stopped. They should have kept it up and been removed one by one. This is why we think Dems are weak. Seriously. I had very high hopes when all the noise started. Once again, the Dems fizzled out.
