As someone who grew up military, I can attest to the fact that that the commissary on base crushed private enterprise grocery stores & retail stores on price. So much so that if it wasn't for the fact that we are always at war with someone, more people would join the military just for the shopping.😏

The US almost had universal healthcare. No, not the time Hillary Clinton tried to pass it, nor under Obama. It was Truman who first tried to pass it but the AMA and the private insurance industry declared war on "socialized medicine" and sank it in public opinion.🙁

The reason these particular Dems caved was bc a) they get a lot of money from airline PACs, and b) bc Dick Durbin & Jeanne Shaheen are retiring, John Fetterman & Maggie Hassan aren't up for reelection until 2028, & Tim Kaine, Jacky Rosen and Angus King aren't up until 2030.

As one of those federal employees, I couldn’t agree more.
“Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.”
“Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.”
Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Put Tim Kaine on the list of Senators to be primaried at the first opportunity.We just went through 40 days of utter nonsense to get NOTHING. Those federal workers are back to being hostages for the next time Trump has a tantrum and Kaine utterly failed to protect healthcare for a GOP "promise".🤬

There wasn't any choice on Tuesday, but if Spanberger is pushing the Senate Dems to cave, I fully regret my choice to support her. This is about as tone deaf as it gets. This fight is about people losing their healthcare, food, the very essentials for life. If you can't protect those, you're unfit.
