Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

I can't believe I'm sending a People Mag article, but it's the only one I've seen in my recent search that says the thing out loud:

"Nearly 11,000 Air Traffic Controllers are Working Without Pay... As Officials Insist Flying Remains Safe."

Nearly 11,000 Air Traffic Controllers Are Working Without Pay amid Government Shutdown as Officials Insist Flying Remains Safe

Around 10,800 air traffic controllers nationwide are working with without pay amid a shutdown of the federal government, but officials said flying remains safe.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Am I correct that the only Americans to get any benefit from the WH this year who isn’t in the Administration (or a relative) are Ghislaine Maxwell and the 1/6 insurrectionists?

Look at this.

White House has said that the US to take 10% stake in Trilogy Metals, $TMQ.

It is up 215% in after hours.

Did someone know? Looks like it.

There was an unusual $TMQ call today, expiring next week. Usually, it gets no options volume.

It was placed JUST BEFORE close.

Unusual.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Hassett: "China has stopped buying US soybeans. The silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground w/tarps over them. That's unacceptable to POTUS. We're calling up our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations & we'll strong policies to support our farmers"

FYI if you're counting on #WIC (Women, Infant, Children) #benefits may not be available on the next disbursement date of Oct 15 bc #Republicans are on a paid vacation thanks to Mike Johnson.

They always wanted to starve the vulnerable, this is just the first tactic

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Furloughed federal workers (some of whom STILL HAVE TO WORK) aren't getting paid and won't until the govt reopens.

Repub Congresspeople (who were sent home for the week) WILL GET PAID even if it remains shut down indefinitely.

Tell me why France 1789 isn't on the table?? #RepublicanShutdown

“When you're living paycheck to paycheck, missing one pay period because of a work furlough can derail plans for your budget and overall financial health.”

Don’t forget our EAP that offers free financial counseling:

The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.

It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.

Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing.

We must fix it together.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
