"public health also means something anathema to the authoritarian: true collective responsibility. There aren’t supposed to be in-groups or out-groups that can be excluded and disregarded, and that is completely against the grain of collective responsibility as imagined by a dictator."
Propaganda, Rather than Pandemic Policies, Caused the War on Public Health
The backlash narrative ignores basic facts of the case.

think you have 6 hard yeses currently (CCM, Hassan, Shaheen, King, Fetterman, and Kaine) but they do actually need to get two more flips
Math is getting kinda tight on this. And they're going to make the mods walk the plank alone.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Seems pretty obvious that if you were going to accept a shutdown your only acceptable outcomes ought to be an actual concession in the bill that passes or forcing them to end the filibuster

the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.
one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I think the appropriate response from states is, “Your request violates federal and state laws. If you want it, come and get it, or bring suit to recover the funds. In the meantime, at least we help the citizens we are obliged to help & we actually pay our civil servants for the hard work they do.”
The US Department of Agriculture has ordered that "states must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025".

This is significant in Kansas, which announced on Friday that it was distributing full benefits to all SNAP recipients & doing it *right freakin' now*. As in, not reloading the cards in its usual way, over multiple days, by last name of household head. All SNAP cards were to be full by COB Friday.
