The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.

Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.

What’s “moderate” about that?

Not great numbers here for Trump

Please don't shoot ourselves in the foot if trading up.

Unless you find a sweetheart deal,
IF
either Sanders or Ward is there at 9 then draft them!

Please.

Consider everything else and the importance of good QB play.

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"

These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.

Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Democrats are being weak.

Just like they were weak on not passing Build Back Better.

Just like they were weak on not codifying Roe when they had the majority.

It’s time for new party leadership at the federal level.

We’re still not shopping at Target.

There is no reasonable way to defend this deal for Dallas. Even if you want to think Luka's conditioning habits are a time bomb down the road, AD hasn't exactly been Mr. Healthy, and is already down that road.
The Mavs were a juggernaut after the trade deadline last year. This deal is lunacy.

Sources: Mike McCarthy did not garner the interest from the #Saints  that he anticipated — and it’s starting to seem like #Eagles OC Kellen Moore is the leader in the clubhouse in New Orleans.

McCarthy backs out before being shutout.

There is no evidence that this disaster was related to diversity efforts, "lowered standards," people of color, women, or people with disabilities. But Trump doesn't care. He MUST blame anything bad on those things, because his bigotry compels him and his cult eats it up
