Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄
1. Time, Distance, Shielding
Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.

It doesn’t matter if Schumer worked behind the scenes to orchestrate the cave, or it’s simply that he + Durbin are so weak that they couldn’t whip the Dem Caucus against it. Either way, he must be removed from power.
We are fighting fascists. We need leaders who fight back, not kneel to oligarchs.

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:
We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

US Supreme Court allows Trump administration to continue SNAP cutback
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday extended a pause on a judge's order that required President Donald Trump's administration to fully fund food aid for 42 million low-income Americans this month amid the federal government shutdown, even as lawmakers took steps toward ending the stalemate.

Yes, they caved because many Democrats lack a coherent or compelling vision for their party. But the shortest answer for why Democrats caved is that Chuck Schumer is the party’s leader in the Senate. The fish rots from the head. trib.al/AaaXLnQ

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.

I knocked doors for Warren for months, but if she's gonna hold the party line while people die from the ACA being FORCED TO FAIL, she can retire too.
