Cosign from above 40. Retirement is off the table. We fear for our aged parents, our children, our communities. Oligarchs are in charge, breaking rules and doing their best to accelerate disasters across wealth, health, and world.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
