Yep. A decision to have an abortion is a personal one. A decision not to protect other people from a potentially deadly disease is about everyone else who breathes air.

Its rich that Dems are going to allow the Trump budget to pass as long as they get to take meaningless votes destined to fail so that they look like they're doing something.
They didn't even give members of their own caucus that curtesy when it came to the NDAA bill and the anti-trans provisions.

It's game of chicken and Democrats are poised to capitulate.
The GOP's Budget Bill Is a Nightmare. Democrats Might Help Pass It Anyway
Republicans say their budget bill would let Trump defund whatever projects he wants. Chuck Schumer and Senate Dems are expected to help advance it.

This dude just had 75,000 Federal workers fired in a single day. What are the odds some of them aren't in the center of a Venn diagram comprising a) a fearful level of knowledge about personal security, b) an incredible understanding of what constitutes evidence, and c) at the end of their rope?

Trump accomplished nothing with his trade war threat. He was talked down like a petulant toddler by the cooler heads of Claudia Sheinbaum and Justin Trudeau. They prioritized averting economic catastrophe above political noise and allowed Trump to think it was his idea. That's what happened.

Adam Schiff voting to confirm a climate change denying Trump cabinet pick after two devastating fires just wiped out his own home district that he represented for the last 20 years, that's just a huge slap in the face to his constituents affected by the wildfires
Despite 22 Democratic senators flipping to a "NO" vote today on Trump's climate change-denying Sean Duffy today, BOTH of California's senators Schiff and Padilla voted YES.
I just left messages for my senators telling them to grow a fucking backbone.
Schiff: (202) 224-3841
