This is sobering but precise.
From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Here they are, the Senators that can sleep at night with their Cadillac healthcare plan while 42 million Americans are denied AFFORDABLE healthcare.
Fetterman we expect, but @kaine.senate.gov we supported him for VP!
He’s the most disappointing of them all!

Today is a clear and decisive rejection of Trump and his dangerous and cruel agenda. Americans have watched him gut our healthcare, raise our costs, terrorize our communities, and openly profit from corruption. Today America said “Enough”

At the counter of Russ & Daughters, sitting beside two ladies who seem to be sampling their first bagels & lox, nodding to each other and speaking in emphatic Chinese. New York is the greatest city in the world. Waves of immigration, assimilation and cross-cultural pollination make it so.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
