Way too many people out there thinking this is some clever plot to make the GOP “own” the end of healthcare credits when it really just fits a long pattern of Dems giving up with nothing to show for it. Maybe I’m getting cynical, but I don’t believe this will do anything but make millions suffer. 🤷🏻♀️

I need those ACA subsidies.
My neighbors need food.
I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.
Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.
Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

I have been following national Congressional politics since I was a teenager in Obama I. This is how it always works. Regardless of their actual seat totals, The Democrats "somehow" always have just enough moderates (not too many or too little) that they concede to the GOP on every major issue.

When you question every politely- and clearly-laid out boundary because you cannot be convinced of why someone might need a boundary against something you want to know or do it makes you not the nice person. Boundaries only being ok if you personally would set the same ones isn't ok.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.
Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Oh, this is wild.
DOJ went to SCOTUS *before* we got the First Circuit's administrative stay denial. (We know this because DOJ just filed a letter at SCOTUS about the admin stay denial.)
So, DOJ went to SCOTUS b/c the First Circuit did not meet its less-than-seven-hour "deadline" for a ruling.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.
