The compromise is not passed yet. There is still time to call your senators. If they voted NO then tell them to get the rogue senators back in line.

There are many "news deserts" around the country, where people are not getting local news. This is one gap we need to address to keep people from falling to propaganda.
Even a local newsletter would be helpful.

Yesterday, Democrats proposed a one year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies as a way to open the government.
I thought it was too much of a compromise. But Republicans rejected it anyway.
So we are still shut down and more people are feeling the effects.

News consumption is one way we reach people. But it's not a one-size-fits all approach.
Consider whether someone is actively looking for news, or passively receiving what they are seeing. That will influence how much they trust the source of news (including you)

My family is all in education. I long for the day when we can critically think again. Truly debate ideas (not this performative thing we call debate now). Learn new things, and synthesize them with what we already know.
Let that day come.
