Republicans refused to even show up to work for 51 days and are now trying to pass a bill that will kick millions of Americans off of health care.
It’s shameful, and I’m a HELL NO.

House Democrats are fighting for a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years.
We’re pushing to save health care for millions of Americans and stop premiums from doubling or tripling. Republicans should join us.

HEY! Did you vote for the Mayor of Seattle and think that you're DONE with this election already? Well, I'm here to tell you you're NOT! There's 1,794 ballots from Seattle alone that aren't counted due to signature issues! But good news: you can check and FIX IT if it's you!

“[S]ecurity forces killed more than 1,000 people during the unrest.”
I traveled through Tanzania 10 years ago during election season. Ongoing power outages would magically resolve when the ruling party was giving a televised speech. I naively thought things would be better with this president. :/

Despite the releases, opposition leader Tundu Lissu remains behind bars, and hundreds have been charged with treason.

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.

Let me be clear — there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown.
But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

I watched the full series of Mr. Plankton this week while the teen said repeatedly they weren’t paying attention, until I paused the finale with 4 minutes and 47 seconds left.
At that moment, I was met with the cry of:
“Why, broski?! Nooooo!!!”

My family is now trying to figure out how to boycott Target even harder. 😄
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"
