If the looming economic screwing of their own voters, and a consequent rough midterm election, isn't enough to spur the Republicans to figure out a coherent healthcare policy, nothing might be.

"maybe government should work better" is not an original, interesting, or particularly useful argument, much less any serious ideology

As you read about how (one of) Trump's resident Nazi's interceded to protect accused sex traffickers bc it wasn't a good use of time to image their devices, remember that Jim Comey has made very credible claims the investigation into him violated his privilege and 4A to snoop on his conversations.
What your president and his team are prioritizing.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.

The fact these 8 went above Schumer means this Dem leader has no leadership any more.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

Let me put this as simply as possible: If the 60 Minutes editorial team cuts out most of their interview with Trump to make him look his best, and he still comes across as completely demented, then it is extremely likely that Trump actually is completely demented.

Today enrollment for health insurance opens and millions of Americans including breast cancer survivors will see their premiums double.
The President needs to come to the table and work with us to extend the health care tax credits so Americans don’t lose their care.
