The article, The Cruelty Is the Point at the Atlantic really, really nails it. Adam Serwer successfully argues that Trumps fans support him because of his cruelty to their enemies. Please read.

In articles like this one, Fact-checking White House Criticism of CBO health care analysis, the Republicans are saying the CBO overestimated Obamacare by 8 million enrollees.

Doesn’t this argue then that the CBO would also overestimate how many would be covered with Trumpcare?

For example, if CBO says Trumpcare will cover 7 million people (a decrease of 15 million from Obamacare) wouldn’t by Republican logic mean that 7 million is also an overestimate? Maybe it will be only 4 million for a net loss of 18 million?

Or are the estimates by CBO only off in the direction Republicans desire it to go?

Dan Maffei has conceded to Ann Marie Buerkle in New York's 25th District (my district). After opening all absentee ballots, Dan was still down 567. You can read more here plus Dan's classy note to his followers. Should be a fun two years. Ann Marie is not sure about climate change, embraces tort reform to fix healthcare, opposed the stimulus, etc.

The default on subprime-backed securities is the major cause of our financial crisis. These were poorly formed and regulated securities that were highly risky and made a bunch of people rich. No securities, no financial crisis. Maybe a bunch of people losing their homes or not buying a home in the first place, but no financial crisis.

Borrowers defaulting on loans did cause the default of the securities. However, the lower income borrower is not the major culprit here. Read on to take a little quiz.

Many of our most deeply red states have the highest teen birth rates according to statics that recently came out. Why is that? Maybe abstinence doesn't work so well?
