My fiance, a DC native, just watched a documentary on Sidney Dorsey. He is amazed at how Marion Barry was a national story, yet Sidney Dorsey wasn't.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

"Sir. You wouldn't come to this committee and say something you couldn't prove.....But you did..."
Let Rep. Thompson give a lesson in Reporting 101 to about half the DC press corps.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

I should print this and frame this for my best friend... because the way she feels about Jeffries.. Just saying his name sends her into a RANT.
Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

Now when you say it's up to Democrats in the senate, be specific? Because I know damn well....
An update on the fight over health insurance premiums:
Republicans have basically stopped negotiating. Trump is more focused on his ballroom than these cost hikes.
Later this month, Senate Democrats will force a vote on this - one last chance for GOP to do the right thing.

So much more to this story. I feel like y'all could have waited.

Despots weaponize their opponents' compassion against them. Trump wants to use people's pain as extortion to get Democrats to fund his corruption. I didn't want the shutdown, but Democrats would be suckers to knowingly vote for a budget that destroys our democracy.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Hmm. Ok. They always stick to their word. -_-
Kaine (D-VA) supports the deal
“This deal guarantees a vote to extend ACA premium tax credits, which Republicans weren’t willing to do. Lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don’t, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will.”

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.
