With just 17 days until Obamacare tax credits expire, it’s now clear: Congress—and the country—are headed over the Obamacare cliff. Even if the House acts, the Senate won’t move in time.
It’s outrageous that all members of Congress have great, taxpayer-funded healthcare! Screw regular Americans!!

There are too many gun deaths all the time, every day, but these past 24 hours seem especially brutal. WTAF, Rob Reiner too?

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Weekend reading:
Trumpism Is at War with the Idea of a Citizenry of Equals
The regime’s latest racist fury is tied to the Right’s much broader attempt to redefine citizenship and national identity in service of an exclusionary white nationalist vision.

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
I don’t know how else to say it…

I am waiting for European leaders to tell us the truth about the United States. The U.S. is becoming a hostile fascist state and we have to be prepared to deal with it. The U.S. is gone as an ally.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

No one in legacy media will call him on this! It is beyond parody at this point.
And to think there are media organizations that still refuse to call Trump a pathological liar.

the whole structure of this argument — independent agencies are politically unaccountable therefore the president must have removal power — treats congress as if it were a total nullity, or as if only the president truly represents the public.

Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next
MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video.
They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.
