My mom’s sharp mind,ability to quickly read situations,& quick wit were essential parts of her identity.My struggle was knowing when to tactfully clarify using real memories/photos & when to let go as to not cause her undue stress.Fabricating memories/use of AI to post online is unfathomable to me.

I'm legitimately confused about the play here. No person who now is going to go without coverage in the ACA is going to just blame the GOP. They will rightly blame the Democrats too. Dems won't get "points" for "fighting" if they cave. It makes little sense.

Also only a partial list of the Senate Dems considering this deal.
Looks like Senator Mark Warner of Virginia needs to be called.
If true… dude is up in 2026, is he serious right now?

John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

URGENT: Call Mark Warner - 202-224-2023 and Tim Kaine - (202) 224-4024 and tell them NOT to cave to the GOP on the shutdown without a minimum one year extension on the ACA subsidies!
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I remember reading a similar story a few years ago and another about weapons just “missing” from a base storage facility. I’m fairly certain at least one of those stories made a connection to an extremist group. Anyone have the stats or good reading recommendation on these occurrences?
