If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.
Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

So here's something everyone saying "just let him pay the troops" needs to consider.
Giving a President the ability to repurpose money meant for other things towards paying people means giving him the ability to repurpose money meant for paying people towards other things.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
Long thread.

as someone who worked at the CDC, the way they’ve targeted these illegal firings are pretty much what i would do to inflict maximum damage to what remains of our nation’s federal public health infrastructure. a hostile takeover of the agency
You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.
And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

I despise Charlie Kirk, but no, I'm not at all glad he was shot, because
1) Nobody should be shot. That's the whole point.
2) on a wholly practical level, I'm afraid this could very well be the excuse Trump has been looking for to declare martial law.

Infuriating.
Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.

So Mike Johnson wants us to believe Trump helped catch Epstein and also
✔️Gave the guy who granted him a sweetheart deal a cabinet post
✔️Wished his accomplice well and moved her to a nicer prison
✔️Called the case a hoax and the survivors “Democrat”
✔️Threatened his own people if they vote for release

Thanks to RFKJ’s rhetoric, CDC staff got our “shots” early this year.
Dark humor aside, live posting our way through this domestic terrorism event at a Federal agency was scary.
180 bullets, an officer lost his life, and workers are traumatized.
Why the fu** isn’t this getting more attention?

It's necessary to keep pointing out: all this is not because ICE wants to deport murderers and rapists. It's because ICE is going to Home Depot parking lots, courthouses, and elementary school graduations to round up peaceful families, many seeking asylum, which means they are here legally.
