This begins the epic thread of dealing with the wine my father left me. This will probably take me days / weeks.
All wine was stored in in his house in So Cal, either the garage or the non-A/C living room. One bottle stored over the wall oven. 😳

If you don’t remember a time before the ACA, ask someone who does, or just watch any old episode of ER because preexisting conditions and lifetime maximums reached in the NICU etc were common story lines. In short, it was the bleakest most cutthroat system imaginable any wealthy country ever had.
The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Trump getting elected a few weeks AFTER the Access Hollywood tape dropped was to America’s culture of sexual violence what Sandy Hook was for gun violence—a clear sign that tens of millions of “conservatives” were totally fine with it.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Considering the current consequences this is so disappointing. I get it was off cycle here - just two referendums for me - but ugh.
About one in three registered voters participated in their local elections throughout Oregon last week. That’s according to preliminary election results from the Oregon Secretary of State’s office.

Fifteen of Oregon’s 36 counties held elections, voting on everything from parks to libraries to law enforcement.

People need to pressure the Surrender Caucus 8, Schumer. And your own Senators even if they voted no - this is undermining us all.
To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.

Imagine you were a union negotiator who did this after you members had been striking for 40 days. You'd be out.

States have got to STEP UP to support those in need.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If I understand this thread (which is about timing for reopening govt) there's another cloture requiring 60 votes to move forward?
People need to light the phone lines for the Surrender Caucus on fire between now and that vote.

Assume it passes, because it’s only 50 votes. File cloture on final passage. That requires a session day intervening, so final cloture vote on final passage would be Thursday. 60 votes for this.
If that passes, another 30 hours of debate happens. Takes us to Friday for final passage in the Senate.
