It would cost $38 billion dollars to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for another year and ensure Americans don’t lose their healthcare.
The republicans said no.
Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina and they didn’t object.
Argentina first, America last.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.
That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

It's interesting how Republicans frame their policies as being so unpopular that if Puerto Ricans had self-determination they would permanently reject ever electing Republicans
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

I never give anybody the finger if they drive like a twat, I waggle my little finger instead. Being an arsehole is a sign of strength to these people and just makes them laugh, while another bloke saying they have a little willy flies them into an unholy rage.
