I don't care that this is done. The fact that this man opened his mouth to say heath care funding was "minor league" is still making me incandescently angry. Dude, *I'm* scared and I'm relatively comfortable. Imagine what the ACA premium increases are going to do to millions.
Tim Kaine voted to reopen the government in exchange for…NOTHING. Instead of the healthcare funding, all these Democrats got was a promise from Republicans to hold a vote…next month. And we know what Republican promises are worth. Tell our representatives how you feel about this failure!

I think it's the "saving up for braces" part of this story that adds a whole new level of ick. Like... that's a kid, man
The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link).

Buckle up. The crowd that brought you "Fifteen is too young to transition" and "Fifteen is too young to terminate a rape baby" is about to bring you "Well, now, actually, fifteen year olds, historically, were married with children by now, so you know, it's not really pedophilia..."

Yes, everyone who is fighting fascism needs to be united in fighting fascism.
But the need to be united to fight fascism is the opposite of being united with people folding to fascism.

After waiting 62 days to see if Rep. McGuire, who previously defended child marriage in Virginia, would cast the necessary final vote to release the Epstein files, we finally see why. John is more loyal to Washington elites than he is to protecting young victims of sex crimes.
New Epstein emails appear to reveal more Trump ties
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released several emails from the estate of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that refer to President Trump.

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Turns out this was the right take.
If I lived in Virginia, the second that Spanberger is sworn in as governor, I'd be demanding @kaine.senate.gov's resignation so she could replace him with someone who's actually aware of what is going on.

8 of us. Not millions who will be unable to afford health insurance because they got scammed.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
