There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

Back out there on a beautiful Thursday. Lots of honks and waves. So much to stand up against, but so much to stand for. Keep finding the people who will be there with you to keep fighting for everyone else.

Let's help Clay out here with some math.
The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.
$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.
Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.
Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

Mothers from the 1950s, who saw how polio affected children's lives would like a word.
For every $ spent on the MMR vaccine, the healthcare system saves $13. Now, The direct medical costs of a measles case is $1793. This translates to $~1.79B/yr for Americans.
