One of the many sad things about the shootings in Minnesota is that they somehow seem inevitable. Any reasonable person — conservative or progressive, Republican or Democrat — who has paid attention over the past few years could see something like this coming.

As Senate Republicans turn the One Big Beautiful Bill, passed by one vote in the House, into a major taffy pull, two questions hover in the background. Where is our country headed? Will Republicans retain their razor-thin margins in the House and Senate in 2026? kAm$2E:D724E:@?
