Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.
Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

According to @cnn.com, ATF reassigned 80% of its special agents—who normally investigate gun crimes and police the gun industry—to carry out the Trump Administration’s immigration “crackdown.”
This shift in priorities makes us all less safe, and will lead to more guns falling into the wrong hands.

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit.
Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry.
They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand.
They chose cruelty and pain.
