In the shadow of think tanks and donor-funded policy shops, a second class of Americans grows: hardworking, politically exhausted, economically stretched, and uncertain of their place in a system designed to tell them they are free even as it tightens the chains of debt and disadvantage.

I get why the people most directly personally impacted by the government shutdown are saying things like this but "the entire underpinnings of the country" have *already* collapsed and pretending they haven't isn't helpful
👇There it is, the alternative was to keep federal employees unpaid for 13 MONTHS. How the fuck do you think that would play out? A collapse of the entire underpinnings of the country, that's how.
Victory looks like a bill that extends the ACA subsidies OR (and this is a key or) keeps the government shut down until the midterms.
Yes. That's a victory too.

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
