    Affordability

    “My opponent wants to send 10,000 armed men to the border to begin seizing women and children, summarily executing any vaguely hispanic looking men, and looting them for their most valuable belongings before casting the survivors out into the desert to starve. And I say we need to consider whether all the money for this program could be better spent on a means-tested plan to subsidies charter schools in low income minority neighborhoods.”

    “Democrats in the House and Senate [are] focusing on lowering your costs, dealing with affordability. Republicans, led by Donald Trump, are focused on spending treasure and, God forbid, lives on military adventurism overseas,” Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer told reporters this week, just before the chamber voted to advance a resolution halting further attacks on Venezuela without congressional permission.

    Fully unironically. Jesus fuck.

    Schumer doubled down at his recent press conference, promising that “Democrats are going to make healthcare and other high costs, the high cost of living, the No 1 issue for all of 2026”.
