States' rights suddenly don't matter if they mean to save people from dying from starvation.

fully funding SNAP a year out is what makes this a potential ceasefire not a surrender. it takes starvation off the table as potential stakes.
I would be more enthusiastic about that if I had any confidence that they actually would take another go at it in January.

caving in the face of widespread child starvation is actually something which i would consider morally acceptable, but accepting an outcome worse than BATNA as a compromise is worse

genuinely when you're online arguing that the graphs say the economy is good actually, what do you expect people to say? what is the end result you're hoping for? for everyone to stop complaining about their personal starvation, evictions and medical debt because a line is going up somewhere?

if your enemies are offering starvation OR disease OR both, your job is to tell them to go fuck themselves and demand neither. i will never believe any rationale otherwise.

anyone who is not willing to take the risk of gambling with starvation in order to save our system of government has no place in the Senate, and those who decided that they couldn't play a game with those stakes have not necessarily done anything wrong. they just have to leave.
two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame
