Wife of a furloughed federal worker here. We live in Okinawa & they aren't paying our housing or his salary. We are worried about neighbors & coworkers in the same boat. This sucks. But what sucks worse? Dems fucking betraying us and caving so all of this was for nothing right when we had leverage.

Here's the bottom line about Sliwa:
Two decades ago he was a fringe lunatic Republican.
These days he's still a fringe lunatic, in everything but politics. His political opinions are left of the Republican party.
He has not changed his political opinions in two decades.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

Please remember that "that's illegal" is a *description*, not a *conclusion*.
The law PROHIBITS people from doing things. It does not PREVENT people from doing things. "Illegal" does not mean "impossible." "Illegal" means "on a list of actions the government can, but is not required, to punish."

Re: Undocumented people “getting free healthcare”
It’s more like “Hospitals are paid w FEDERAL 💰 for keeping them alive when they show up to an ER for lifesaving care.”
It’s the HOSPITALS that get paid, not the undocumented people. Bc they have to/should follow FEDERAL EMTALA laws.

In order to buy ACA health insurance or apply for Medicaid or Medicare, you have to be DOCUMENTED. You have to have a Social Security number. Half the Congress is LYING to you, and trying to strip our health care away. Where's the outrage?!

I don’t want to use “DEI” as a pejorative in calling out ridiculous hires on the right, this term frankly deserves rest and care.
We can do just fine calling it “corruption” because that’s what it is.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.
