I can drive 45 minutes to work or take a hellish 2.5-hour trip on three trains with longish walks at the beginning and end. If I had the option for, say, a convenient one-hour public transport trip, I’d do it gladly.

Fancy specialists get a bad rep but I know many who work hard, long hours for their patients. Note: I am not a fancy specialist. Or a doc.

It means they're aware they'd just lose even more credibility. It could even mean they think regime change is coming.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
If you are a Senate Democrat and you just watched your party base crush election night and put 7 million people in the streets for No Kings and your response in this moment is to cave in on the shutdown, you should immediately resign. Just get out of the way.
