How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Oh, please, lectures about how “no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts,” when billionaires get the biggest government handouts of all?
Opinion | What the SNAP fight is really about
Food stamps are a way to feed hungry kids, not a political bargaining chip or an engine for growth.

A handy guide to the upcoming holiday:
If a kid is on SNAP and you've decided this is the one moment you're going to care: give them the candy
If a kid can't verbally say "trick-or-treat" : give them the candy
If a kid looks too old to be trick-or-treating: give them the candy
Hope this helps!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.
I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.
Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

This is delusional. You can't support a hospital on only an ER - they're not the profit center of a hospital! ERs take enormous charity care losses due to EMTALA and have to be cross-subsidized by more profitable service areas.

FLOOD: Here's the deal: Some hospitals that are rural hospitals are going to eventually have to transition from being acute bed hospitals into being an ER model

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.
Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"
