The primary sticking point, of course, is that Democrats want to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that allow millions of Americans to afford health insurance."

"Confucius famously said, 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.' Trump, Vance and the MAGA faithful are so consumed by their desire to inflict pain on us, to inflict pain on immigrants, that they clearly don’t realize (or don’t care) that they are ultimately going to hurt their own people just as much, if not more."

"There’s a time-honored rule in politics: If you want to undermine your opponents, turn their strength into a weakness. As we enter Day Two of the latest government shutdown, that’s precisely what Donald Trump and the Republicans are trying to do to Democrats as the parties wage a messaging war over the shutdown."
