Whatever’s happening in the Senate, I want everyone to read this & remember that this is our lives. In Chicago. The suburbs. Everywhere. We fight it every day. With organizing. With cantankerousness. With courage. With humor & kindness & generosity & solidarity & patriotism & love
And we will win

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

100% this. If I've told you I like, love, or appreciate you, I meant it. I'm just a disaster right now. I'll get back on track at some point. I hope you'll still be here when I figure shit out--but if not, I get it. I will only ever wish you well.
Neurodivergent friendship is a funny thing. You can find your people and have amazing connections with them, but be too overwhelmed with life to stay in touch, but miss them dearly and feel lonely, but be too burnt out to even send a text. 😩

Fact-check: Have there been about 160 carve-outs to the filibuster?
How unusual would it be to create a filibuster carve-out for voting rights?

The ACA cuts happened in the reconciliation bill in July, every single Democrat voted against it and they got 3 detectors so Vance had to break the tie, and the Dems just shut down the government for 40 days to try and get them to undo it, it is absolutely deranged to blame this on “Democrats”
Yes - this is a loss because Democrats have now signed on to ACA cuts as a complicit party and once again made it a less effective issue for the mid terms
From that perspective, this would be a failure, right? Because the Dems lose the narrative that they did everything to stand in the way of ACA cuts.

Hemp regulation is a genuine issue but overnight obliteration is ludicrously bad policy. Whole lot of hemp and hemp-associated businesses will go under, this criminalizes basically every delta-8/9 product with enough in it to have a psychoactive effect.

The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.
Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.
