This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

I know a lot of MAGA faithful depend on Medicaid and other federal programs (whether or not they realize that's the source)—will this "temporary" halt in funding open a few eyes maybe? Also do Republican Congress members want to be powerless and pointless? Because that's where they're headed.

Not sure whether I posted this recipe on FB (kind of think not), but it is addictive and flexy--add cukes or snow peas, reduce the jalapenos, whatever. Sure, it's summery, but I need a little dose of green grass and lightning bugs about now. coolfooddude.com/2019/10/15/v...

Doing the normal—got a haircut, bought a new car battery, shopped for a new TV (ugh, but the old one is rife with expanding dark spots)—and yet I feel relentlessly aware that the countdown is on. 2016-2020 was an era of stress, anger, frustration, and heart-hurting exhaustion. Trying to rally.

Artwork is still on Insta (#ldavisparsons), but I plan to do what other little posting I do here rather than on FB. I won't shutter my FB account because there is too much history there that I want to keep, but I'm "retiring" it.
