I like to be fucking annoying when people do the “actually Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, not the monster” thing and go “actually Frankenstein is their mutual surname because they are father and son”

Neither do Dems it seems
We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

It seems like Senate Democrats' strategy is:
1. have a vote
2. if/when Republicans vote against extending health insurance subsidies, then Democrats will blast them for it
The message they are sending is that this is the most they can do.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Dick Durbin suffers from a terminal case of Senate Brain, in which the big prize is a handshake deal with your distinguished colleagues where they'll allow you to hold a meaningless vote that you can then point to with pride to your constituents as they go broke from crushing medical bills.
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

And now we know why the shutdown is ending.
The Federal Aviation Administration will limit business jets and other private flights to some of the country’s largest airports to ease strains on air-traffic personnel.
FAA Limits Private Aircraft Flights at Major Airports
The restrictions will affect private jet flights at a dozen airports, including Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, and Chicago’s O’Hare, according to the National Business Aviation Association trade group.

Feel like we’re going to discover the ACA was the last band-aid holding together any illusion that the post-2008 economy was functional.
I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

It's embarrassing how so many film critics need every film to be a MESSAGE that rectifies some injustice or brings awareness to some plight, especially movies by women filmmakers. Just incapable of analyzing a movie any deeper than the surface.

if the Senate has an ACTUAL leader she would be in a back room somewhere telling Kaine and King that they won’t even be able to get a seat on the holiday party planning committee for the rest of their natural lives if they don’t slink their narrow asses back to their own side of the aisle

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Tough choice between Michael Roemer’s VENGEANCE IS MINE, a near-supernatural melodrama that somehow feels totally realistic…
…and Karen Shakhnazarov’s ZEROGRAD, a kafkaesque portrait of the starved soul of a bureaucrat.
Both totally took my breath away, haven’t stopped thinking about them.
