Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

The only Dem senators voting to cave on the shutdown fight are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

If Dems cave on the mere PROMISE of a vote, those Dems that cave will need to be run out of office, primary the fuck out of them and LEADERSHIP for not being able to fucking lead. This is getting stupid with these constant losses because of shit leadership.

Those who remember Dick Cheney as better than Trump are forgetting all of the people he killed in other countries…and the many ways in which the Bush regime paved the way for this one.
So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Removing attorney fee protections means the city polices itself and history shows that doesn’t work.

A proposal to eliminate the attorney fee provision would gut public enforcement and leave the government to police itself.

The viral videos show horrifying events, but do not capture the fact that they were EVERYWHERE and took people from at least 3 separate neighborhoods. This was not a one street, one incident event. It was a military style siege stretching from Calvary cemetery to Skokie.

Some context to the viral videos:
Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.
They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

It’s like Chicago and Oakland Gestapo have a bet as to who can shoot the most pepper balls at clergy.
From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.
They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.
