You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

Hard as they tried, the so-called best and brightest minds of the right could never determine precisely when — or by what curious influence — their younger followers had turned to a harsher, more fanatical strain of their own bigotry.

They certainly tee'd up a perfectly cromulent path forward for themselves. But the reaction from the former writer is also weird because, in film, we've established it's a rebooting timeline. We're not really meant to believe Daniel Craig is the same bond as Connery, so what's the fucking problem?

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

It’s clear he no longer controls the whip.
This means he’s an ineffective leader.

And those who voted for this need to have all their positions striped from them and those running in the future need to be primaried.
Those 8 idiots just undermined everything.

It was already going to be hard for 2026 congressional Dems to make a credible case on affordability - they simply can't promise much they'll be able to deliver while Trump is still president. All they had is being a check on Trump & Senate Dems just undercut that, too. Come ON.
