Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Very important reporting here. Tom Homan is having his neighbors’ kids disappeared. But their school and their principal are fighting back.
New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home.
Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

In Trump's first term, media orgs would credulously repeat Trump's claims to have saved jobs. Now they are credulously amplifying executive orders based on misleading premises that claim powers that Trump does not hold. Stop amplifying misinformation and aiding his attack on democracy!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
