Dear @smith.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com
Please don’t betray the folks who gave up so much during this shutdown without getting the ACA subsidies restored.
A promise for a vote without House agreement to even come back hardly counts as a win.

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

App Date is the date of submitted applications that are being reviewed.
Notice how they are YEARS behind.
People already have to wait years just for approval with the current system. Now we want to exacerbate that and close facilities? The fuck?

Institutional care isn't optional under Medicaid. Home and community based services care is optional. Cutting Medicaid will lead to more people losing HCBS and be forced into nursing homes, as I wrote for @motherjones.com in January. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
