If I had money... I would have saved Muhammad as quickly as possible!
This isn't just a wish; it's a cry of helplessness that tears me apart! I stand here, money out of my hands, but Muhammad's heart and soul hang suspended between life and death, waiting. shorturl.at/eRAO3

If Ahmed (14 years old) were a pet, donations would have poured in. But he's a child battling severe malnutrition, and the days go by without anyone offering him a helping hand.
Ahmed's life is in danger, and every day that passes only increases his suffering.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Nevadans, call Senator Cortez-Masto. Right now. She's in a purple district and is always afraid of pushing away the red rurals when asked to side with Dems. Tell her not to give in! We need the ACA in rural Nevada too!!

Since Friday's stream was so short, I figured I should make up for that by giving everyone a look at a new cozy cottagecore tabletop RPG from @koboldpress.com, RiverBank.
It looks like a very fun, silly game, if you're looking for an alternative to the standard TTRPGs.

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.

The Trump administration is making peoples lives worse and an almost fractal away, from the petty to the genocidal. My best hope is to make sure that when something happens to an individual and their life gets worse, whether in tiny or big ways, they correctly blame Republicans for it.

I don't get the point of this. There is literally no point whatsoever to do this due to funds already allocated, different funding sources found, etc, except if the cruelty is the point.
