Democrats put health care subsidies in the foreground while No Kings measures to restore power of the purse stayed in the background. They then got nothing on health care, while of course letting the background stuff go, except for some short-term RIF prohibtions designed to get Kaine's vote.
Sen. @kaine.senate.gov, I'm a constituent and just called your office, but of course it's closed, so let me message you instead. Do NOT support the CR-Minibus because it does not protect Congress's power of the purse. Without such provisions, the WH will continue to ignore Congress with impunity.
What's in the CR Deal for Congress?
With a vote as early as tonight, we quickly ran the numbers

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
