Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.
But the struggle continues.
Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.
Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.
![Displaying passport holders' sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to establish that the Government's choice to display biological sex "lack[s] any purpose other than a bare ... desire to harm a politically unpopular group." Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by declining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress expressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigev37etpfwfdxjlnt3pz5qyueldxo3k6rfxw5ip477gp7inlrctq@jpeg)

Trump appears to be defying the court order. Millions of families across the country are still seeing the message: “NO BALANCE FOUND.” Time will tell if the administration ultimately complies.

I heard AFGE said @democrats.org should fold / pass a continuing resolution to temporarily fund the government.
But here’s an AFGE local saying “Hold the Line.”
I wish Democrats would communicate every day why they can’t sign on to a CR.
Example: ~20 million Americans will see premium increases.
