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.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

If Dems accept this deal, it will help the GOP cement the following ideas into the public conscience over the coming 4 weeks:
-Shutdown was Dems fault/responsibility
-They did it for nothing
-They caved to Trump
Having accepted responsibility, it will also cripple them in the follow up debate.

First, I will say this: never believe an Axios backed story with only a Thune test vote schedule.
That being said, for obvious reasons to anyone who sees my posts regularly, I don't think a deal is a good idea for Dems, but the rumored deal seems pretty poor even factoring in my priors against.

IMO there are two legitimate goals to non-cooperation (which would likely lead to shutdown):
-Demonstrate Dem opposition & non-complicity
-End filibuster

I think the generous explanation is that Dems are fucking assholes propped up by breathlessly stupid voters and the more correct answer is that it’s a big party and we ain’t in it.

short term, this is catastrophic for millions of people in many different ways. long term, it's probably good for the next several elections if people remember "oh yeah, the Republicans, when they were in charge literally everything stopped working"

can attest to the fact that this already started yesterday. in upstate ny york, we were missing large portions of our projected numbers and only got approximately 1/5th of the next day air pieces
The UPS cargo plane crash on Tuesday at the company's global aviation hub in Kentucky, which killed at least 12, will temporarily disrupt the supply chain and result in some shipping delays.

the fight’s not over until we all stop fighting. please don’t leave us trans people fighting for ourselves and the Palestinians alone
"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.
Sorry, but fuck that.
