Which is more important, a functioning government or the ACA subsidies?
8 Senate democrats decided for a functioning government.
This means if you want affordable healthcare again, you need to vote in Democrats because at the end of the day it was Trump and his Republican enablers who took it away.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

One way to find out if you're old is to fall down in front of a group of people.
If they laugh, you're young; if they panic, you're old.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

I'm not a biblical scholar, but I think "Don't take the Lord's name in vain" is less about yelling "Jesus effing Christ!" when you stub your toe, and more about calling yourself a "Christian" while starving the hungry, denying medicine to the sick, and being violently hostile to immigrants.

An ICE Air flight that departed from Alexandria, LA yesterday made 3 deportation stops in Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina. Argentinians on board were kept in shackles for nearly 19 hours across all stops. This was the 1st deportation to Argentina since June when there were 2.

Let me repeat: Until Todd Blanche and David Markus reveal basic details, Todd's conversations with the sex trafficker should be treated as gross corruption. Those are:
1) Did she have a proffer (answer is yes)
2) What FBI agents were in the room (if none, take to the streets)
3) Was it recorded
