THANK YOU to those few Republican Senators willing to stand up for the people who voted for them. And thank you to every Senator who has been actively holding this line from day 1.
ACA subsidies need to be extended! So far in the vote, three Republican senators (Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Dan Sullivan of Alaska) have broken with their party and supported the Democratic proposal to extend the premium subsidies for three years.

Which is AWESOME. But with my tax dollars staying the same or going up, I'm much more concerned about people having enough food than I am about the uber-rich having tax breaks. So, this is still a problem for me.
When the Trump Administration shut off SNAP benefits, @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social did what they always do: step up.
They've done incredible work to connect Oregonians with food and resources for decades. I'm grateful for the work they do to support our communities every day.

I'm an #independent, but her points here matter. If you're in the party, consider working to change it while voting your conscience.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.

I suspect there's something to that.
There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

When billionaires dodge taxes, working families foot the bill. When they hoard wealth, our schools and hospitals take the hit. And when they buy political power, our democracy crumbles.
It’s PAST time to tax the rich and hold corporations accountable.

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:
If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.
15 million will lose their health care.
20 million will see their premiums double.
All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.

Mr. Trump said "We could have much better health care than we have right now."
No kidding.
20+ million will see their premiums double. 15 million thrown off health care entirely.
Pres. Trump, in case you didn’t know, this is what the shutdown is about.
End your health care cuts.
