Some of them are on tv now complaining about what is happening to their constituents while having just voted to let that pain continue for their constituents. Spineless.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

Bluetorial-Jim Watson
I met Jim Watson a few times but did not know him well. However, I was greatly influenced by his book “The Double Helix”. He was a complicated human being with some very, very bad features, but some good contributions.
What follows is my personal perspective.

The question of 'who is my neighbor?' is one of the most important in my faith. By cutting off SNAP benefits, it is shamefully clear that Trump's answer does not include starving American kids.

All of this. It’s why I work on climate in ag and with @onecampaign.bsky.social on their programs for Africa. It’s all related and it’s not either/or. It’s both/and!
As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵
