COLLINS: You talk about 15 years of Obamacare. But that also means Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a solution and have not yet done so.

Yes Americans famously love austerity, especially when it’s pitched to them by a guy who was currently building a gold leafed ball room
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Have you ever heard of Reginald F Lewis? Probably not, and I believe that's by design, as Black erasure is endemic in America.
Reginald F Lewis was the first Black person to build a billion dollar company, TLC Beatrice. It was also the first Black owned company to crack the fortune 500.

Emily lives in a white house in the heart of the Midwest where an ancient farting dog blocks the hall and a ragged New Yorker — which she was reading while not doing what she should have been doing —sits on the scuffed coffee table. She lives in pathetic squalor, like a Tom Waits song come to life

Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?
Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees
Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.
