-Some 'toons capture the truth of the matter. Some are intended to advance a perspective that need not be truthful. (2) -Bernie ain't a D. Iz a one-trick pony. It's all he has ever been. My concern is he turns the most politically gifted person of these times-AOC-into a dead end clone of him.

The deal ONLY applies to the Senate and will originate in the Senate. If it fails or is not brought up in the Senate it's dead. If it passes the Senate, then Johnson is faced w/not bringing it up, possibility of a discharge to bring it up (13Rs have written they will join Ds) amend or vote it down

Agree, it's not. That said, shutdowns give extraordinary powers to the Executive. Deciding funding allocations and staffing inc who works for free is known to Rep Khanna. Granted a fully funded ACA shouldn't be included, but it was.
FTR There is no contempt order. Was working thru the Fed Cts.

Of course people can and have lost nearly everything over medical debt including whether insured or not.
Hungry people become desperate people. That's an undeniable truth. Recall Katrina? First You Feed Them is a universal truth for good REASON.
If Rs fail to fund the ACA, they will pay dearly.

ACA, its enhancements and subsidies are NOT part of this funding bill. That's the reason they expire 12/31 (calendar year) whereas the Budget is on the Fiscal year schedule , Oct 1-Sept 30.
Ds successfully managed to wake up the citizenry on ACA and all healthcare insurances jumping way up.

Ride it out? Who really rides out a shutdown? Is it the 42M on SNAP or the 3/4M Federal employes who are working for $0.00, the yet to be known # of Fed. employees who lost their jobs, the 10s of 10000s of people at airports, and most of all the enhanced powers the executive has during shutdowns?

Too soon? Was he waiting for the poor and working poor to use self-checkout to jack the food they needed to feed their children? Empty bellies result in desperate acts. SEE GAZA, Congressman.
How many $0.00 paychecks for work is enough, Congressman?
How many flight delays/cancellations are enuff?

(adding w/o subtracting) datacenters also suck up copious of water. And to this day not a single study has produced a Cost Benefit analysis other than for the early (emphasis) investors of the data center. Same w/a full blows environmental study.

Those emails aren't nearly enough. Guilt by association is not how any person on the Blue Marble should be treated by the law or public.
Will take name(s) of victims (underage and/or adult) physically linked to the named perp(s) and the victim(s)' sworn testimony.
And a witness wld go a long way.

Far 2many don't get the oversized and determinative role geography has on past-present-future;
history right down to the individual level
all elements of culture (eg. languages, the 3ds of diet, dress, dance (music), religion, societal norms, etc)
how it can be overcome and/or leveraged

Left-Right. Blue-Red. Democrat-Republican, Union-Confederacy. Us-Them.
Seeing the nation in binary terms is to ignore the kaleidoscope that is America.
Focusing on America via single lens or filter-political ideology-makes as much sense (nada zer0) as through a single lens of religious ideology.

Who are "we"? Define left and right.
In your estimate, how many people make up America's left and how many people make up America's right?
Name a country that was successfully governed when the left or right policies were dominant, including the repeal of the opposing side's policies. 1/2
