Consensus among judges that clerks have to do their jobs should not feel like such a win but here we are.

Minority Whip Katherine Clark puts out a stinging statement on the senate deal. "A GOP budget that spikes health care premiums and everyday costs to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday Americans. That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today."
MALDEN, MA – Democratic Whip Katherine Clark issued the following statement on the Senate’s budget vote: "A GOP budget that spikes health care premiums and everyday costs to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a grave betrayal of everyday Americans. That was true in July. It was true in September. And it remains true today. “Republicans eliminated the ACA tax credits and slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid, $500 billion from Medicare, and billions from medical research. As a result, Americans are seeing soaring costs – doubling, tripling, and quadrupling families’ premiums. Democrats have called on Republicans to work with us to protect health care and lower costs since March. They’ve refused at every turn. “Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this health care crisis. They own the pain of every American facing a premium hike. And they own the hopelessness of every parent who can no longer afford health insurance for their family. “House Democrats are not giving up. The American people deserve affordable health care, we will continue to fight back on their behalf.”

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.

"In a sense, therefore, we always expected the violence, we knew it was coming, though we could never predict the next target. Yet each time it struck, it was equally devastating to us. No matter how many times it was repeated, there was no getting used to it.” - Angela Davis

Unless you went to a Nazi shop. The cover up and continued excuses are bad too. Part of being in Congress is asking for information before making decisions and this tells me no one with base level white supremacy symbol expertise was consulted on tattoo round 2.
