What the *actual* fuck?
Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

It took two chapters but the emotional chapters have been written and I am actually so stoked with how they turned out? I had like four epiphanies during writing to make it even stronger?? I am so excited to write the rest of the book???

Had to cancel therapy b/cI have my dental cleaning + eye doctor's app this month, so now I pay for all these things out of pocket since getting marketplace insurance which means instead of getting all the care I need, I get to decide what to sacrifice.
But yeah, this country is *so* great. /s

To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.

YEP. Can't do $900 a month (that's practically half my monthly income on average). Haven't even considered if I'll even be able to afford my meds anymore. And since I average an ER trip a year, plus specialist visits and injections, thanks to my disability, so...proper fucked, I think. 🫠
So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts.
There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.
