Four Republicans just voted for a 3-year extension of ACA -- a huge achievement -- and a dozen or more are advocating at least a 2-year extension in the House. The momentum is with us but Fetterman as usual is giving up. Here is a challenge to him to do his job.

Steve Stockman was convicted in 2018 for soliciting money for a bogus charity, and he was forced to remain in federal custody ahead of sentencing after the judge deemed him a flight risk. Stockman's 10-year prison sentence ended when Trump commuted his punishment in 2020.
Steve Stockman, the twice-over former congressman, convicted criminal, and proto-MAGA crank, has announced his newest comeback. Stockman, who represented Texas from 1995-1997 and 2013-2015, is seeking "re-election" in the new and dark red 9th District.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Today in my QR for Social Scientists we starting on voting and elections, Unit 1 the Electoral College. I asked my students (First years, so usually 18) what they remembered or know about January 6. Blank stares. They were in middle school, so maybe not surprising?

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.
