As my life moves on I appreciate more than ever my time in Higher Education as a student, staff and teacher I think often of Bob Dylan’s lyrics “I was so much older then I'm younger than that now.” I think he was on to something.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.
Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

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.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,
not because the voters want them to,
not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…
they are caving because their DONORS want them to.
And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.
