I know so many great people who are doing so much. If you are isolated from people who are trying their best, I can understand feeling like no one's doing anything, but really, you just need to find the people who are trying and try with them — or maybe encourage some new folks to try alongside you.

The easiest thing for Democrats to do would be to stop confirming Trump judges, but they can’t even be bothered to do that. Just failure all the way down.

SERIOUSLY.
Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

While it’s not explicitly named in the policy, the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building would be the only facility impacted.

Just a reminder that all the small, indie businesses who have to buy their own insurance are the ones relying on those ACA credits & they're fucked since the Dems caved on the gov't shutdown.

NEW: Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding.
In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

This raises an interesting prospect. For Costco itself to be entitled to a refund, and not to have to pass it to their customers (they couldn’t get standing for such a suit), Costco would have to be eating the cost of the tariffs.
