If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

Rosen: And on Halloween weekend, in the middle of a shutdown where they’re defunding SNAP, where children will go hungry—millions of them—they are gluttonously eating and partying and laughing at their voters, laughing at what they can do to screw the American people.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.
Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.
They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!
His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.
What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

Sometimes I wonder if they’re stupid or complicit. They have to know that deportation, wealth hoarding, isolationism, and tariffs are bad for the economy. How many times to republican policies have to cause a recession before they get it?

Between this and the terrorism against Latinos who are mainly Catholic, the US has become the leading persecutor of Christians.
Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.
He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

The Trump admin is rewriting disability eligibility rules.
Changes would fall disproportionately on some of Trump's most loyal supporters in red states. Most affected would be 50- to 60-year-olds without a high school or college education who have, for decades, toiled in physically grueling jobs.

Abolitionist writers before the Civil War noticed that the very act of deciding some humans are below you and enslaving them served to let loose a person’s worst instincts.
Keeping slaves led downhill to greater and greater depravity. (And what went on was truly horrific.)
