Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were free-lancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

What he wants you to understand is the experience of being under siege by the secret police.
They don't want the government opening back up. Certainly not this year. Maybe not at all.

Trump’s support among voters is fading fast, but Congressional Republicans refuse to acknowledge their peril, as they succumb to nearly all of his demands.
⚡️”The gap between voters saying their vote is anti-Trump and those saying it’s pro-Trump is larger than ever.
It’s also the largest such gap since 2006.”

Why it would be better than the murderous GHF is anyone's guess:
Report: "US military forces (CMCC) are taking over the movement of humanitarian relief into Gaza as part of Trump’s ceasefire plan".
"Israel agreed in the ceasefire to allow 600 trucks carrying essential goods each day, but only about 100 on average have gotten through" since the so-called "truce".

OpenAI is now lobbying to classify datacenter spending as “American manufacturing.”
In their recent submission, they explicitly advocate for Federal loan guarantees the same kind used to subsidize large-scale industrial projects.
OpenAI's solution to its unsustainable costs is to have the American taxpayer indirectly foot the bill.

"There’s an interview Evan did with Donald Trump back in 2011. This hand-cam video has always stayed in my memory as an ur artifact, a kind of rosetta stone of Trumpism. The interview focuses on birtherism, Trump’s then-crusade. Evan asks him why he’s pushing this so hard, why he believes it. Trump says something that has rattled in my head ever since. 'People love this. There’s something about it. People love it. Especially Republicans.'
You hear the whole Trump story foretold. It’s not even that he doesn’t care whether the birther story is true. People love it. He can smell the hunger."

White House asks court to block order to fully distribute November’s food stamps
Judge had ordered Trump administration to make full payments by Friday amid ongoing government shutdownGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
This is a crime.
This isn't just "withholding benefits" - it's a crime.
"Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff announced the agreement on Friday, saying it upholds the university’s academic freedom while restoring more than $250 million in research funding that the government withheld amid investigations into alleged civil rights violations."
Huh.
Must have a different definition of "academic freedom" than the one I'm familiar with.
