We'll see. I have faith the GOP is going to extend the tax credits, reluctantly.

Sorry, I didn't know.
Yes, Democrats should show a spine.
But we needed the shutdown to end at this point between SNAP, aviation safety and federal workers going w/o.

I'm not on SNAP. But how long should SNAP clients have to go hungry?

The December vote will make Republicans vulnerable. Very vulnerable.

We shall see. Patience.

The longer this went on, the more harm to the defenseless - like SNAP clients.
60 votes is what it takes to pass most things in the Senate, Democrats had to come to the rescue.
Look at it this way: If the ACA collapses, that WAS the compromise between doing nothing and... Medicare4All.

Republicans won't gut SNAP - they know there's a political & legal cost to that.
Heatlh care? Now there's going to be a high stakes vote.
You want to protect minorities? Donate to and elect more Democrats. In November, vote blue no matter who.
Start there.

So you stand with those scumbags who want to cut SNAP?

What winning hand did Democrats have to speed up a Republican concession?

Boss Lady, I also reached out to Mallory via multiple means.
Did what I could.
Let's hope this Lis Smith "gets it" Mallory IS the last stop on the redemption train and doing the hard reflective work necessary.
Let's also agree to support WHOMEVER is the MI Dem Senate nominee, please?

We need to win in 2026 & 2028.

Period.

Second.

So having SNAP be a hostage is OK because of some secret "winning hand" ?
No.
Good on Senate Democrats to end this. All those who did don't have to worry about this vote.
The blame to me is on MAGA.
I will support Medicare for All or something like that in '28, that's for sure.

So how much longer would the MAGA/GOP hold out?
This is a good deal.
I'm not going to tell NPI this is your fault.
No it's the fault of the sheeple who don't listen to YOU & other Redmond political & moral leaders.

The recissions will be rolled back.
But there have to be consequences for MAGA winning.

Wrong.
Delivered by the idiots who voted MAGA.
Well unless you are a secret MAGA agent...

You're not answering the question.
What. Winning. Hand?
Please share.
Thanks.

HOW?

Not enough details for me. Thanks.

Thanks Badassuchi.
Hurts and stings.
The work continues - we'll get Tsimerman nailed for ya and of course President Vanessa Kritzer!

Two questions:
1) What winning hand?
2) How long is this shutdown going to go on to use that winning hand?
