@kaine.senate.gov You betrayed us by voting to end the shutdown without securing guaranteed healthcare subsidies upfront, making the prolonged pain of the shutdown pointless and deeply disappointing to your constituents. Please explain!!!

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

That's why they did the finger wagging at the NAACP for not endorsing Winsome. It's why they ran Herschel. They sincerely believe we vote based solely on race. They support whiteness over all so they assume we will support any Black person running against a white person, regardless of policy.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

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.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This is an abhorrent policy for any Liberal or Conservative president.
Not an assertion of guilt, but a numb, amoral indifference to guilt or innocence.
An anti-Constitutional assertion that no consensus building or concern for dissent—that is leadership—is necessary before slaughter begins.

ICE/CBP are terrorizing people who recognize that it’s the same evils the previous generations fled.
And I cannot even get into how many people in our community are here because they or their parents or grandparents were being hunted and terrorized in Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia & the Soviet Union.
They know what this is. They know it's happening here.
