Amazing isn't it Donald needed exactly 8 votes. So what Schumer delivered was exactly 8 Dems who either are retiring or not up for election in 26. Exactly 8. Not 9, 8. Schumer is a Rep with a Blue tie.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I grew up in the late 60s and 70s. I *never* thought I had it harder than my parents, because for "photographs" existed, and I saw my parents and their homes in the 40s and 50s. I thought those times looked *awful* and I still do. But people who complain now relentlessly idealize the past.

I learned about this 👇🏾 when I was 18 and I was interning at a title insurance company. I sat through a presentation about what mortgage interest rates mean and I was flummoxed that most people pay twice the sticker price or more for their home after compounded interest. #compound #interest
Every U.S. consumer, please pretty please educate yourself about compounding interest. 💵💳🚙

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
