Too bad for the Democrats that this is not how the Senate works.

If you read up on Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Harrison Ford, basically an entire generation of actors grew up on public school arts programs. Reagan cut all of that and now every new actor has parents with blue Wikipedia links

Sadly, this performative cruelty is part of an American tradition even in Massachusetts. There is no reason to punish entire families this way. www.southcoasttoday.com/story/news/s...

I'll allow it as a backdoor way of raising the idea that certain U.S. states should join Canada.

A little unfair. I hate brilliant-killer movie and TV shows, and "Breaking Bad" wasn't that. Though I admit that as the series went on, there were a few too many psychopathic supporting characters to keep the story going.

It’s a Catch-22. If the press says this is an emergency requiring the suspension of nonpartisanship, then Trump voters reason that the admitted abandonment of bipartisanship means the press cannot be trusted when it says we are in an emergency.

“they would spend as much as three or four years growing organic produce,” and cellphones would be taken away, so I can imagine this enterprise might pay for itself

Yes, no party can be above the "here's what's in it for you" pitch, but I don't think the Democrats can succeed without making an argument for government and the common good. "Trump is bad for YOU" is a recipe for a possible win in '28, then a loss in '32 when the GOP promises the moon again.

I totally agree. (Though when I see a video like this, I want to ask, “Then what made you vote for Trump?” It could be a reason that would prevent them from voting for any progressive.)

Let him get rid of congestion pricing. We pedestrians will just start crossing intersections slowly enough to go through a couple of light cycles.
