Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.
Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

Folks. You get sick less (COVID, flu, & all their buddies). If you happen to have something you’re less likely to pass it on. And they come in black so you can look more like a ninja. NO DOWNSIDES.
At a minimum, please wear a mask in airports/on airplanes and in healthcare settings. That virtually no one does is depressing & distressing. #COVID

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. But it also needs a show that’s “a police procedural based in Wakanda and starring the Dora Milaje.” I would watch that for at least eleven seasons.
