I'm so tired of there being the daily awful phrase that will turn into a meme that I'll recognize as such because I'm terminally online but I'll soon forget the origin of because I'm old.

What if I told you...the Republicans are going to let people starve anyway
I'm mad about the shut down and worried about healthcare, but not letting people starve is a pretty good reason to cave on this bureaucratic fight, the more I think about it. So just say that: Republicans wanted you to starve rather than compromise, so we let this one go.

Amtrak needs to realize that a once daily train on any route is bad 19th century (1800s era) thinking that never should have been considered from day 1 in 1971 let alone today, 54 years hence.
At least it's not a "mixed train daily", but still.

remember that any senator not loudly calling for Schumer's head is happily playing their part in his Kabuki theater 'resistance' and is your enemy as much as he is
Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Durbin on voting yes to reopen the government tonight:
“It’s time for Leader Thune to keep his promise to schedule a vote on the ACA tax credits in December.”
Durbin is retiring and an ACA tax credit vote is bound to fail, making it a vote he won’t have to answer for next year
