See, this — while not as emphatic as my not-actually-for-publication language — is much better. Credit where due to NPR here (in happy counterbalance to @laist.com, where a host this morning treated the Senate vote as a fait-accompli end to the waiver).

We also need reporters--and headline editors--who really understand how Congress is supposed to work. Granted there's a degree to which the Senate can make shit up as it goes along, but it's actually not that hard to explain to readers what's going on.

It is not theoretical at all. Despite being vaxxed and boosted, I got a mild case in Aug '23 and have yet to recover. I'm not totally debilitated, but can only count on operating at 50% or so any given day, some days more, some much less.

Democrats CAN win because they have better ideas than Republicans. Dem ideas benefit more people, offer more opportunity, and provide real security rather than tough-guy posturing. But Democrats can only win if they are out there every day on the attack. They can not apologize their way to victory.

“Multiple police departments across the U.S. have recently arrested suspects who allegedly impersonated ICE agents and appeared to be using Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement policies to intimidate immigrants or further their own criminal activities.” Who could have imagined this?🙄
