A perfect 10 out of 10 so far on my @nano2point0.bsky.social goal. Last two days were close calls. My dog hasn't been feeling well and that's made things complicated, but I managed to find the time to get my words in.

@maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com two great shows tonight. You both had very different takes on the apparent end of the #shutdown. You both made some excellent points. I was initially more in line with Rachel and @sanders.senate.gov, but now I don't know.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

They call it a “time change”. I call it a bureaucratic ambush on the dinner bowl. My stomach doesn’t care about your daylight savings, your artificial hours, or your smug wristwatches.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal.
The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.
