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.

Sadie & her cousin Daisy were both born around this time of year, but Sadie was a stray we don't know her real birthday. Daisy kindly offered to share her 11/8 birthday with Sadie. This year, they turned 10 and had a party! Doggie Stanley was there, too! Reese gave the girls Frosty Paws.

Last month, President Trump launched a $40 billion bailout for Argentina, started construction on a new ballroom for himself, and bought two new private jets for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
But he did nothing to help Americans afford their groceries.

I just realized this looks kind of like her mug shots. 🤪
Sadie gets my vote for Best Costume: Prettiest Girl in the World. I told her she didn’t need the kerchief, but she wanted to dress up for Halloween.
I think seeing the folks around the corner setting up their scary clown display put her in the Halloween mood. 🤣

Hey. I'm here. A bit late because the printer ink I ordered never arrived, but they sent me a photo of my package delivered to a door with a totally different address. Had to try to get them to re-send it. #FreelanceFriends

When will internet/cable companies realize customers would rather have a consistently fair price than deal with the sticker shock of expiring promos? Xfinity offered me a "free" modem and speed upgrade (I don't need more speed). But when it expires my internet cost would nearly double. Hard pass.
