So you can picture yourself in bed with thโ€” no it's probably because if I can't score a touchdown I can still get a pro quality night's sleep

Not just Republicans but Republican voters

They are rewarded better when their statements challenge the mainstream than when they are correct

Well I mean the voting records will be available to anyone who wants to look them up

Are Cheryl and Terrell still going to have a dance video?

The โ€œbigger fightโ€ is the Democratic version of Trump saying โ€œweโ€™ll do it in two weeksโ€

And also, this isnโ€™t the first time Democrats have done something like this. Itโ€™s a playbook by now. Thereโ€™s always a greater battle ahead that Democrats never seem willing to fight

He would probably be right at home on Paramount Plus

Constituents are both smarter and dumber than you think. You canโ€™t say โ€œwe think it will be obvious who is to blameโ€ while your opponents directly blame you. At the same time, you canโ€™t hide behind a vote that had exactly the number of Dems needed to pass.

By caving tonight, it undermined the partyโ€™s previous efforts to make healthcare an issue. It doesnโ€™t matter that only 8 senators crossed over. What happened tonight reflects on all Democrats, even those who voted no, even those who released statements, even members of the House.

The best thing Democrats could do right now is be honest. โ€œWe didnโ€™t have the votes. Trump and Republicans have a majority and they donโ€™t care about you. We couldnโ€™t sacrifice SNAP and Thanksgiving and the economy for healthcare subsidies.โ€ The messaging Iโ€™ve seen has been really poor.

Trump recently said that Democrats have lost their way, and what happened tonight proves that to be accurate

Thank you for not betraying our state, unlike the other Illinois senator

I think Thanksgiving travel was another factor, since that will begin in less than two weeks

Not just mobs, but individuals, too. The Luigi Mangione incident wasnโ€™t that long ago

Voters need to stop taking for granted the things that the government does for them. Youโ€™re not going to want a government you can drown in a bathtub if you want roads and schools and air travel and safe food andโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸŽฏ Unfortunately, this is true & probably the only way. Voters need to realize that hating government, & illegally defunding & dismantling it, & pretending that we can run a modern society/economy on Ronald Reagan's shabby talking point & worn copies of Atlas Shrugged & Mein Kampf is untenable.

Mamdani is going to implement Mariah law. All he wants for Christmas is for you and your family to have a joyful, affordable holiday

Itโ€™s tricky: Don Jr. is the oldest, but Eric is taller and Ivanka seems smarter. I donโ€™t think any of them has โ€œitโ€ the way their father does. But PR is a powerful thing

Theyโ€™ll say โ€œThatโ€™s what Trump 2028 meant all along.โ€ I keep thinking that at some point in the next few years weโ€™ll see one of the kids get a PR push, publish a book or two, appear in major magazine profiles

The quickest way to end it is for adults to start using it incorrectly. โ€œThatโ€™s so 6-7 of youโ€

Weird how heโ€™s โ€˜apoliticalโ€™ but heโ€™s always going on Fox News, I wonder what his politics are

I would simply walk away from my full cart of groceries if they didnโ€™t accept my payment

Just like when people post text message screenshots, this would be easy to fake

Bookstore/library/Libby/Hoopla browsing. Seeing what friends are reading on Goodreads. I tried some Goodreads challenges this year, and each one comes with a list of โ€œqualifying books.โ€ I also did at least one Google search for books on a specific topic and found some articles and Reddit posts
