If you want your rights protected, and your life more affordable, you need to vote for Democrats like your life depends on it. Because it does.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

Not only will they not lower costs, they will be largely powerless to prevent the imbecile President from doubling down on the policies that dug us in this hole. A smart party wouldn’t anchor themselves to an unachievable goal. Alas…

Not to be a party pooper but a Democratic Congress is absolutely not going to lower costs; it just won't be in their power no matter how much they'd like to. Hard to tell what the political consequences of being unable to follow through on their central campaign promise will be.

I don't think the Uvalde families or Garrett Foster's fiance owe us reliving their trauma for an ad. They've already given so much. But there are about a dozen ads you could make about Abbott's handling of any crisis that would rival the "he had me arrested/he pardoned a rapist" ads we've seen.

The Democrats can put a rider into the Appropriations Bill that: (a) renames the Office; and (b) defunds its ability to engage in third-party deportations to other countries through defunding airplane contracts.

I heard through the grapevine that Sen. Eric Schmitt has 18 staffers on his legislative team: 17 men and one woman. The woman on his staff deals exclusively with foreign policy, which means today's disaster during the hearing was all by conservative men who don't know sports.

America’s chatbot is apparently programmed not to tell you anything about its vendors, even from publicly available government sources, (and gets all pissy about it when you ask).

America.gov
Menu
But those official government websites also do that already, and you just told me you won't search SAM.gov for me, which is an official U.S. government information source, so clearly you don't search those sources. Are you misleading me?
No. I search official sources to explain public government services and how to use them. I then give you the links.
I do not search SAM.gov 7 to identify America's vendors or other internal system details. That is a limit on what I will look up about this service, not a claim that SAM.gov 7 is unofficial.

Is it because you won't look up anything on SAM.Gov, or because you specifically won't look up this service's vendors on SAM.gov?
I specifically will not look up this service's vendors or related internal system details, including on SAM.gova.
SAM.gov 7 is a public site. You can search it yourself:

Just tried it myself & the same thing happened. Google’s top result says that Mamdani wrote, “The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.” That is not what he wrote, on Twitter or anywhere else.
