Everyday some progress is rolled back. Each order makes my life harder.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

Karma means actions and their effects. Every action of body, speech & mind creates a potential for a future effect. Plant suffering, reap suffering. Plant happiness, reap happiness.

Democrats demand meeting with Trump on shutdown β€” again Fresh from the party’s victories in off-year elections across the map, top congressional Democrats are insisting on a meeting with President Donald Trump to discuss the shutdown. β€œWe write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown of the federal government and decisively address the Republican health care crisis,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote Wednesday in a letter to Trump. In addition to Trump, Democrats want Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson to participate. Top Democrats have been asking for such a meeting for months β€” and got one just before the shutdown started more than a month ago. β€œDemocrats stand ready to meet with you face to face, anytime and anyplace,” Schumer and Jeffries said Wednesday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The letter comes as Democrats are facing their own internal divisions over how to end the record-breaking funding lapse β€” or if it’s even the right time to stand down without extracting more policy concessions from the GOP. Roughly a dozen Senate Democrats are viewed as ready to end the shutdown and turn the party’s focus toward hammering Republicans over health care ahead of a vote to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies following the reopening of government, according to four people granted anonymity to discuss caucus dynamics. But major wins Tuesday night, especially the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, are giving fresh fuel to calls from other corners of the Senate Democratic Caucus for the party to dig in and fight until they get a deal with Republicans on the ACA tax credits.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Some Washington cattle ranchers have a beef with President Trump President Trump plans to quadruple beef imports from a political ally in Argentina, ostensibly to lower prices β€” a reversal of his "America First" campaign promise.

Donald Trump is raising prices with his reckless tariffs.

Now, he’s trying to import just enough beef from Argentina to hurt ranchers, while not actually making a difference in the price of beef! He's ripping off Washington ranchers to help another country's president.

Did the cutting have a piece of root (of its mother plant)? Or did the original cutting get its own roots from being soaked in water? Or did you put the cutting in soil? My only successful dogwood osier planted came from have a piece of root….

Democrats must not cave in to Trump | Bernie Sanders The government shutdown is not an accident. Trump’s budget would push millions into poverty and must be stopped

Democrats must not cave to Trump now.

We cannot allow health care premiums to double, 15 million to lose their health insurance and Trump’s authoritarianism to accelerate.

To surrender now would be a historic tragedy for our country, something history won’t look kindly upon.
