These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.📎

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

If ICE isn't comfortable operating in an environment where the whole neighborhood turns out to watch ICE operate, if they feel like they need to make arrests in secret, with no cameras on, that's ICE's problem, not mine.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

The reason they’re trying to break everything so fast is that they know they’re likely in for a historic loss in the midterms (even with their current redistricting bullshit).
Winning state and local elections and getting a House majority (at minimum) is our priority right now.

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0.
Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

Yes. I would expect lawsuits immediately. There are clear rules for RIFs, and this seemingly violates all of them.
Thank a federal worker, though - a good chunk of them are working without pay, even more of them are wondering if they’ll have to fight to even HAVE a job. Morale sucks right now.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Ok folks. Even though some of us are furloughed, there are still folks taking calls and processing returns. They are not being paid. So, be nice to the IRS when you call.

Weakly argued piece, blandly written. Mostly hand-waving: Maybe a president demanding more seats from his party will be good for "democracy" bc voters will say "I don't like this."
How can they register their disapproval? That's the point of a gerrymander, they can't!
