Just a reminder. The Senate Republicans promised to VOTE on extending ACA subsidies in December. No matter what happens, the House does not have to vote on it. No matter what happens though, Sen Schumer, his leadership team, and the 8 “safe” democrats who reopened the government will be losers.

Honest question: does trump’s statement fall under the “official acts” of the Presidency? "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump said on truth social. Does a death threat qualify under Trump v. United States ruling or can he be prosecuted for it after he leaves office?

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence! It gets even darker than that. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Carl Sagan predicted the future of America. The dumbing down of America has largely been part of a Republican agenda. Nixon abolished the PSAC and the Office of Science and Technology. The OTA, which provided science and technology analysis to Congress, was closed in 1995.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
I'm sorry, I know this is not your problem, but I just felt like screaming into a void seeing that now Dems may cave and end the shutdown without getting anything they were supposedly fighting for. We've been put through hell for weeks, constantly having our ability to simply feed ourselves dangled in front of our faces, our survival used as a bargaining chip, told it was for a reason. Our suffering would prevent even more suffering and that it would be temporary and worth it to save healthcare for millions. And now it's all for nothing. They stood for nothing. They caused suffering for no reason. They'll cause even more suffering for no reason. 

It wasn't 40 million people starving that made them cave. They were willing to put up with that. But the threat of holiday traveling being disrupted seems to be the thing to push them to give in. They have failed everyone. I'm so angry.

Trump's understanding of Obamacare has been consistent: 1) Obama, therefore bad. 2) Rich Republicans and right-wing media hate it, so denouncing it generates praise/donations. 3) Average people don't like losing benefits, so lie that they'll get something better, enough will buy that. That's it.
