My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

How broken do you have to be inside to relish watching families violently ripped apart from each other or to fight quite this hard to deprive people of food.

Is it good politics to ask the Supreme Court if you can continue starving people?

Well over a million federal workers have gone without pay for over a month, more than half while still working. 42 million Americans stand to lose food aid. 24 million could see their health care premiums double.
This is more than cases or headlines or line items. These are people’s literal lives.

They’re going to amp up the rhetoric and lies about this shutdown as the air travel gets worse in particular. Be ready.
People need paychecks, food, health care, and safe travel. We need a Congress that shows up to work—this isn’t the paid leave we meant, Mike.

Long lines and canceled flights reported in Cleveland, even though it’s not on the FAA’s list of airports impacted by federal funding. It’s almost as if things impacting a community seemingly far away to people who may not look or have much to do with you can have a ripple effect and impact you too.

By refusing to end the shutdown, just in time for the holidays, Republicans are robbing people of paychecks, food, and health care, and completely disrupting air travel, not to mention terrorizing families and communities. It’s cruel and maybe they should have learned this week it’s not popular.

“Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort.”

I’ve heard a few people make the comment, he might win but can he govern. I hear a dog whistle. All I know this morning is Mamdani is a phenomenal leader, he assembled a phenomenal team, he ran a phenomenal campaign and strategy, and we have a lot to learn from it and a lot to hope for thanks to it.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
