Finished Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gesson and it seems quaint.
Makes me feel like the country really missed an opportunity by waiting 18 months to appoint Jack Smith and not putting Trump in jail to await trial.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

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.

There may disagreement and rejection on how policies and decisions are made that can be laid at the feet any past administration, but there is usually some consensus of common good that is achieved, however unbalanced.

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."

Whether it's starving kids or growing its fascist police force, the MAGA shutdown is working as planned
ICE isn’t only continuing to spend millions on advertising despite the government shutdown — in some cases it has even ramped up its taxpayer-funded propaganda push.

rosen is one of the moderates who sincerely wants a bipartisan deal, her being this angry is a good indicator of where they’re all at
Pure 🔥🔥🔥from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

This is a great deal for Republicans, since it would push the ACA cost hikes until after the midterms. On a purely political calculus, would be malpractice not to take this.
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."
