Government Shutdown and Democratic Leverage

• 🎯 Democrats are accused of using the suffering caused by the government shutdown as leverage.

Cost of Migration: Domestic and International

Political Dynamics and "The Guillotine"

• 😨 Party activists are described as planning anti-Trump rallies, with some senators reportedly terrified of breaking with party leaders.

Healthcare Costs and Subsidies
