Thank you to whoever leaked the fact that some Dems considered caving. That is not an option. We all want the government open but we need ACA subsidies officially extended. Pen to paper. Nothing less. Period.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Heads up, @joycewhitevance.bsky.social about the EAC regulation. They are spamming the regulatory web site with almost the exact same narratives to support the implementation of citizenship verification. Just thought you should know.

@stevevladeck.bsky.social I really enjoyed your long read on circuit riders. As a native Marylander, I’ve always dreaded (see what I did there) our association with Judge Taney.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Well, @schumer.senate.gov, what’s your excuse to vote yes on the CR now?
Some interesting things in a new Quinnipiac poll: 53% of Americans would blame Trump and the GOP for a shutdown, with just 32% blaming Democrats.
That kicks the legs out from under Schumer with his excuse for why he’s voting for the bill.

Trump does not deserve to be forgiven for this.
Trump's cutting of Ukraine's access to intelligence feeds is already inflcting a catastrophic loss of life at the front.
And today, North Koreans are pouring over the border for the first time.
Americans will never be forgiven for this.

I assume you have seen this 50% reduction at SSA @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov? This is in our backyards and will decimate seniors and the disabled. We know the goal
of republicans is to privatize and WE DON’T WANT THAT.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."
