The Dissolution of the MAGA Coalition?
Rep. Pat Ryan Video Interview! Yesterday, nine House Republicans crossed party lines and joined Democrats to force a vote on a 3-year extension of ACA subsidies. While the actual extension vote remains uncertain, this display of bipartisan support indicates that hope for affordable healthcare in America is not lost.

Don’t Forget Who First Stole CBS’s Integrity
By Seth Stern
It’s hard to imagine CBS News’ reputation recovering, at least unless and until it changes hands again.
ICE Can't Unilaterally Deploy Lethal Force
Jenn Borchetta Video Interview! Yesterday afternoon, an ICE agent killed a woman in the middle of the street in Minneapolis. As of Tuesday, January 8, 2026, no one has been held accountable. What’s worse, the administration is claiming the slain woman participated in an "act of domestic terrorism" before being shot, despite there being no evidence of said act.

We must move to disarm ICE. There is no logical reason for them to be armed. They are not ever shot at and if they were they should stop what they are doing and call the FBI, DEA, ATF or state and local police to take care of it. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/disarm-ice?r=3m1bs
I watched Coffee with the Contrarians this morning, as I do regularly, and although I thought your guest, Randi Weingarten, had good intentions and information, she took over the entire show and pulled Jen and Norm away from the biggest story of the day-the murder in Minneapolis. She has been on before and although good, she doesn’t seem to understand the concept of your show. Perhaps you could interview her separately at a different time and give her all the time she needs. I found myself tuning out because I wanted to hear more of your thoughts about yesterday’s horrific ICE attack. Your “coffee” works best with Jen and Norm and occasionally guests who have expertise in the events of the day who understand that we want to hear from all of you.
