What did you do today? Probably not this
We captured 18 birds today and then we surveyed the colony for bird flu, which we thankfully saw no evidence of.

I’m sad and I’m furious. The Senate voted to reopen without securing healthcare protections. Millions still stand to lose coverage.
The fight shifts to the House now. There are cracks. Pressure matters. If you’re in a GOP district, call your Rep.

The point is the people who don’t get to give up. The families who cannot afford a single month without coverage. The parents counting on SNAP to feed their kids. The people who live paycheck to paycheck, who get sick, who need care, and who deserve dignity."

I’m not embarrassed to say I cry everyday since the election. If I didn’t, I think I’d be in a Psychiatric hospital by now. I can’t believe we have to put up with this horrifying MONSTER as President, AGAIN. I wish I was one of those people who could ignore the News. I think the stress is killing me

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

So we make a deal that allows several Republican senators in key states to vote for ACA subsidies next month and get political cover back home, but not enough to pass it. Sounds great.

Agree entirely.
If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.
