If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Just have to keep reminding myself it's just an exhibition. But as great as UK looked last week, they looked really lost tonight, resorting to a lot of desperation threes. Still, we haven't seen this team at full strength, so there's some more magic in store for this season. #bbn

Mark Pope teams live and die by the three. UK is 0-12 from three in the second half. There's your game right there. #bbn
