Good morning. Please start negotiating on the budget, stop posting on social mrdia on taxpayers' dime when peoole are unpaid or about to see their premiums double. And your administration hasn't come up with a healthcare plan in 9 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Their terminology is loose. But it does obscure the broader point about an authoritarian slide. And an average person disconnected ftom politics may not *want* it, but they can be misled into terrible things.

Someone should forward this to the 9th circuit panel hearng the Government's stay request appeal.

Judge Nelson seems to want to reargue whether there is any role for the courts. My read is that Judge Bade is also on that side of the argument. I was also struck by how many normal rules of apoellate practice did not seem to apply.

Nelson and Bade seem to both embrace the view that the president's authority to declare the inability to execute the law is unreviewable. unconstrained by anything.

Nelson is pushing for essentially a no oversight view of the ststute.

Sounds like a political fight for donor funds. Very ill-timed.

We should start by depriving Congress of paid care, so that they know how the other half lives.

What a ridiculous headline. Giving people access to some form of healthcare is not a red / blue issue.

Please do not assume that being anti Hamas is being pro Trump. D Jewish voters are in the crosshairs of two extremes for different reasons.

Republicans JUST VOTED DOWN our bill to avoid a government shutdown at midnight and address the healthcare needs of the American people. Republicans are plunging us into a government shutdown rather than fixing their healthcare crisis.

Donald Trump says that a shutdown is a tremendously negative mark on the president. But he’d rather shut the government down than protect your health care.

SOON: Republicans will vote to shut down our government instead of passing something simple to prevent your premiums from SKYROCKETING. Here’s what’s going on and why you’re likely to have way higher health care costs next year:

Justice Gorsuch's comments were out of line. FWIW, the Ttump administration is a far better target for such critique.

I disagree. I think he was presing in the few times they were in position to press. Sk is outworking and out quicking the US. And US is slowly knocking the ball around the perimeter.
