I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

The Spanish public television has published the first audiovisual map showing the 6,000 mass graves from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the subsequent Francoist dictatorship (1939-1975). A testimony of what happens when fascism wins -something unknown in most of Europe.

Yeah, this.
I know the push is always to get people more engaged with what is going on in the government, but you as a constituent should NOT have to spend your sunday panic calling your senator to beg them not to collaborate with fascists.
None of us should have to do that.

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.

When will we in the US
a) wake up to the fact that our health care system is severely broken? (Many do acknowledge this)
and
b) DO something about it? (Not a concept of a plan, not thoughts and prayers, but an actual, practical, feasible, useful plan.)
