Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

Anyone who still defends Establishment Democrats just doesn't read enough. They secretly enable fascism so they can campaign off it. They've been doing it for a long time. They did it again last night.

-This is not a bad deal for Dems. Big donors r happy so they are happy.
-Jeffries is against it because hes in the House.
- the Dems supporting it either aren’t up for reelection or no challengers.
-Shutdown was probably starting to affect the markets which is why big donors told DNC/GOP to end it.

This shit is annoying because how are you supposed to get healthcare if you're bedbound. Are you just supposed to die?
Seniors will either have to make in-person appointments with their doctors or pay for virtual telehealth visits as Medicare isn't extending the telehealth benefits during the shutdown: https://bit.ly/3LkSSie
The shutdown leaves telehealth for Medicare patients in limbo
Telehealth for Medicare started during the pandemic and became popular quickly. But the shutdown put an abrupt halt to payments for the service.
