These are the Democrats that voted alongside Republicans today to end the shutdown. They voted for a package that does nothing to extend the healthcare coverage that millions of people will be losing.

These are not people who will fight for their constituants and we have to vote them out.

The eternal ND artist struggle:

All I want to do today is art, but I can't until I finish the thousand non-art tasks I've been putting off, which has put me in a mood, so I've been unproductive and the day's almost gone and the to-do list remains, which still means no art, so now I'm in a mood--
