👀 a possible Hybrid General Conference.
I've been saying we need to update the BoD with hybrid conference provisions AND create a dedicated commission for a possible Hybrid conference!
Folks have rolled their eyes at this but now it's happening and we aren't prepared.

I think this is the question Democrats are gonna get over and over: if you just handed over your main demand in the end, why cause a painful shutdown at all?
Governing is more than politics, but wild to see this group of Dems arguably toss the whole party under the bus, *politically* speaking.

How do you make this your central demand for 40 days and then just let it go
Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.

If I had a senator who cared about their constituents I'd be lighting up their phones. Unfortunately Florida has all Republicans. If you've got even one democrat senator make a call for those of us who are hopelessly un-represented.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

This is a sickening example of Trump and ICE's blatant disregard for humanity as they terrorize our families and communities.
It is shameful, cruel, and it must end.
