Oh interesting - this bill would close a giant surveillance loophole for exactly 100 people and not for any of the other 340+ million people in this country.
Good thing Congress is getting back to the important business of governing!

Let’s be clear: this is class warfare.
Tens of thousands of working-class Americans are going to die because of this “deal.”
Real people. Real deaths. For another tax break for the rich.
Those who voted for it — Republicans and Democrats — are on the side the 1%, fighting against the rest of us.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Yeah one thing that’s genuinely changed in conservatism in the US is “should the Victims of Communism be allowed into the US”

Absolutely right. I criticise BBC News, because we need it to be as good as we know it can be. People like Farage criticise the BBC, because they work for its competitors and don't want it to exist.
🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

And by caving, i.e. by folding in exchange for nothing meaningful on healthcare, the suffering was done for nothing? The deaths weren't avoided...
I don't think the administrative stay from Justice Jackson was a sign to surrender, quite the opposite. It was smart, strategic, harm reduction 🧵

A bunch of suffering was endured by folks who are all much poorer than any US Senator, in the name of avoiding all those needless health care deaths. Folks were struggling to pay bills, buy food, take care of their families.
Trump / MAGA were correctly getting the blame from the public 🧵

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

Unpopular take here and I'm prepared for the incoming from angry Democrats.
But if people want to blame somebody for the Democrats not being able to force the Republicans to extend the ACA right now, PART of that blame falls on we the voters.
Because we didn't elect enough Democrats to do it.
