Forget airplanes; I would wager good money that every single member of Congress has a gender-neutral bathroom in their own home.

Great time for the blue state attorneys general to pick up some heavy legal talent for the hard years ahead.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Use their knowledge to fight the administration from the outside.

Hmm. I think on the other hand that Big Daddy Tromp gained a lot of fans by handing out $1400 checks, signed no less with his own name. (And that Biden did the opposite by reneging on his campaign promise of increasing that to $2000).

The $1400 checks aside, which I think were a good thing, Republicans are good at crafting policies that seemingly benefit people upfront but screw everyone over long term. Democrats craft policies that will help people, but the benefits of the policy won’t be fully realized for years or remain largely invisible.

From his record, he’s not an idiot, and should understand that the rules are increasingly rigged in favor of privilege. This seems like CYA positioning.

Anticipatory positioning?

I will look into contact my congress person and letting him know this is unacceptable too…

Aren’t ACA subsidies and student loan forgiveness a way to mitigate the rigging of the system towards profit-driven models in areas (healthcare and education) where there shouldn’t be any commercial pressure?
This “handout” rhetoric is so unhelpful. If he had said ‘people don’t want one-time patches of a rigged system but rather structural change’ it would have been the same message, without this loaded Republican language.

We do want an unrigged system. Which includes services and healthcare from our government.

I know little about US higher-ed institutions. I know that there are private universities (sitting pools of investment that would make a small country blush), but aren’t there government-funded universities, that still charge fees such that only the children of the rich can attend, without selling themselves into debt-peonage?
That seems like the usual tax-funded, socialism for the rich, rigged system.

Yes. For the most part, government funding for them has been steadily declining for decades. While tuition and costs for basically everything else on campus have risen exponentially. So yes, few students can attend them anymore without taking out large loans.
