Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

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."

This “deal” would force 370,000 Arizonans to pay more for the same or worse healthcare coverage.

I refuse to make life harder for the people I serve. I’m absolutely a NO.

I hate FSAs and HSAs with a passion. Waste of my time and an utter scam meant to send my healthcare money into the hands of finance guys instead of my doctor

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
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.

It is really funny the NY Times has a reporter whose "beat" is college campus cancel culture shit. That's like having a reporter reporting on WWE storylines
He responded to a comment with a nakedly biased take on what's been occurring for the past decade or so on college campuses!

The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

"Do you think the amount billionaires are currently taxed in the US is..."

This is a victory for our families, and I'm grateful to our state & local partners, advocates, & organizers who made it possible.

It's a shame it took multiple court orders for Trump to do the right thing.

And it's even more damning that he's fighting to overturn the ruling.

So Johnson's choice is call the House into session, thereby releasing the Epstein files, or extend the shutdown forever.
also the House CR that Republicans are insisting needs to pass before any negotiation can take place only runs through Friday after next
I don't think people fully realize how brutal a vise Republicans are in now. If they cave tomorrow Democrats get all the credit for giving people healthcare. If they somehow bypass the filibuster they get a year plus of headlines about ripping people's healthcare away.

I, not knowing ab Rosalind Franklin, but having heard Watson & Crick constantly, was ecstatic to hear him speak
