The latest update on conditions inside Broadview's ICE facility, where a magistrate judge is planning a visit this week.
The Trump administration says it's "compliant" with an order to provide phone services so detainees may communicate with counsel.
Plaintiffs "continue to have concerns."

This is how to write a headline about repeated liars.

I’m voting NO on the Senate funding deal.
I’ve heard from countless constituents whose premiums are set to more than double next year — and they’re not sure if they’ll be able to afford their health coverage.
I won’t support a bill that leaves them behind.

How not to play poker:
Player 1: I'm in
Player 2: I'll see you
P1: I raise because I have 3 kings!
P2: I'll raise too
P1: I fold, because even though I have not seen your hand it is must be better than mine or else you would not have raised after I told you what I was holding.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Bartels did a study 20+ years ago looking at how much a member of Congress' record coincided with their constituents' views, broken down by income. MCs are a lot more responsive to their wealthier constituents. Think about whom SNAP and flight delays affect. www.russellsage.org/sites/defaul...

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

If we don’t extend ACA subsidies, premiums are going to double or worse. People can’t afford it. We need to make health care more affordable, not unobtainable and out of reach. Affordability is what we are fighting for. It’s time to come to the table and negotiate a real deal now!

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
