Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

back to focusing on things I can control. I’m working on learning a Chopin waltz. I put some nonperishable food in a box with a “FREE” sign taped to it on my porch today, nobody took anything but I’m gonna put it out again tomorrow (it’s freezing rain overnight). I’m going to take a hot shower

If the Dems fail to preserve ACA subsidies in the shutdown, it will be another manifestation of an organizational failure beyond this particular political fight, and one that will reflect the weaknesses of a party built around clienteles w/ no structural power. catalyst-journal.com/2025/07/why-...
Why the Democrats Are So Useless
The Democratic Party’s transformation into a network of policy clientele organizations has left it incapacitated as an opposition party. These groups, which lack strong mass-membership bases and sourc...

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

Just a gentle reminder that surgeon general nom Casey Means founded a wearables company called Levels and her twin brother Casey Means founded a platform called Truemed to facilitate spending HSA and FSA dollars on wearables and alternative therapies :)
Hmm, interesting too because a lot of wellness grifts (wearables, IV therapy, supplements, etc.) can be paid for with FSA funds. If I'm understanding this, it would mean than wellness grifters are going to be able to make even more money?

truly, do senate moderates wake up every day with a horse kick to the head?
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
A proposal by GOP senators to send money directly to consumers’ health accounts rather than to insurance companies showed signs of breaking a stalemate on negotiations.

Because @fetterman.senate.gov doesn’t care about Pennsylvanians (let alone the Democratic Party), he has an obscenely strict character limit for emails and no one answers the phone and they don’t allow one to leave a voicemail if it’s after hours.
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Sharing with a request. How do I reach fetterman? His DC office goes to a recorded phone tree. Is there a central switchboard or something I can call?
Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

Any food which has gotten to poor families the states must send agents to reclaim the food before it is eaten or face new federal penalties
“.. The Agriculture Department issued the command in a late-night Saturday memo .. That guidance threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not “comply” quickly with the government’s new orders.”

"AI bailout during shutdown" would turn the Joker into the Joker
“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.
