*common misconception that is not helped by the name. We do not have an attention deficit. What we have is a focus deficit. We actually pay attention to everything. Not well though.
Should be fun 😁
Also, I think a lot of us were missed because of stigma. Looking back at my school days, I was a really typical presentation. It was obvious from my notebooks that I was not paying attention*
But I am also smart so I couldn't have a learning disability...🙄

If funding SNAP is considered "caving" and "giving the other side everything it wants" then your side is the wrong side.
See, I told you. I TOLD YOU that the freaking filibuster is why the Democrats caved in and gave Republicans everything they wanted!
Democrats sold out the country for an institutional privilege that doesn't even help them.

Republicans gave up every bargaining chip they have in the funding deal.
They will restore the subsidies, or usher in universal healthcare.

As many as 200,000 Mississippians could soon lose health insurance, the state's Republican insurance commissioner, Mike Chaney, warned the Mississippi Free Press in October.
Those odds have increased since the government shutdown ended with no extension of expanded ACA tax credits.

About 331,000 Mississippians who rely on the Affordable Care Act could see their health insurance premiums jump by 37% on average unless Congress acts to extend COVID-19-era tax credits.

Yes, the number of people who required me to state explicitly to them that I have a stutter was much higher than it really should be. Also. Yes, the number of people who still tried to tell me what it's like to have a stutter, was not the zero it should have been.

You cannot claim that aka subsidies are going to expire because other people were allocated is to alleviate qnrvbwoth the go.
I'm still talking to you because of the cute dog in your profile.
It's about leverage. There are tough decisions to make when you're dealing with irrational and cruel people like the GOP. The shutdown was the leverage. The subsidies were removed in the legislation.

But my new favourite thing on top of that are the people claiming that we shouldn't secure food, or repair, or reduce reuse risks.

If you think we were stronger when people went hungry, and are weaker now that we have a full year of funds and supplies, you're wrong. We can now keep the government shutdown from Feb 1 to November 4.

Okay, the thing is she's actually lying. AOC voted against food assistance. Republicans voted for it. And I hate that I live on a planet where I just said that.
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If all Dems secured in this deal was the SNAP funding to September 30 (it's not they secured much more), it is not giving up, it is not nothing, and it was secured by agreeing to open the government to Jan 30. You cannot criticize the Dems who accepted this deal without supporting hungry Americans.

So it seems that most or all of the opposition to the deal is due to people believing any deal struck with republicans must be bad and did not actually read it.
I remind you that making claims about what the deal does or does not do, when you know neither, makes you an idiot.

Republicans already have the ads attacking Dems for blocking the vote to restore the subsidies if this deal dies. The ads will be released as soon as people begin losing their health insurance.
Republicans surrendered and yet Dems are desperately trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
