instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

To be clear, I truly don't GAF that some wealthy and/or famous women were passengers on a Bezos rocket. It is not in any way inspiring, especially at a time when NASA budgets are being slashed and women engineers & scientists are being pushed out of their careers and having their legacies erased 🧪

👇🎯 The only solution now fully consistent with being an actual democracy & not having this remain a weaponized tool of mass voter suppression/disenfranchisement is automatic universal voter registration & free passports for every US citizen.
This is a case where IMO the ship on the policy has sailed and the best option is to make access to and availability of the IDs very easy
Periodic reminder that voter ID requirements are sadly often quite popular.
Democratic opponents need to find better ways to mitigate this.

If you live in Wisconsin PLEASE make sure you/your friends vote for Judge Susan Crawford in April 1 election for Supreme Court. Elon Musk is funneling millions to her opponent to BUY a Judge. In every war there is a turning point. Let this election be ours as we begin to take back our country!

In case you doubted that he’s a russian asset, know that VOA was instrumental in keeping the hope of freedoms alive in the Soviet Union and is hated with a passion by putin for exactly that. This is no accident.

One more thing. It’s a classic trap to think that sacking administrators means more focus on ‘front line care’. Very often it means the opposite. It means doctors have to do the admin, which they’re not very good at.
