Republican’s solution to the divisive ACA subsidies β€” to further restrict women’s rights.

They fear women who are showing up to polls & flipping seats blue, and subsequently, they’re holding American’s health hostage.

Abortion is healthcare.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

"Gabbard’s agency, which coordinates among the different elements of the intelligence community, is advocating for legislation that would transfer significant authority over counterintelligence to her office and away from an FBI that her staff has portrayed as the home of a traitorous deep state"

Vulgar, gaudy, uncultured β€” oligarch/authoritarian excess.

Hot glueing gold leaf plaster molding to the walls doesn’t exude class, refinement or good taste β€” you can’t buy class.

Why is everyone on both side of the aisle kowtowing to this decrepit dementia-riddled old man? Who are they really afraid of β€” who is really in charge of the US government?

As Trump has already lost his grip on reality, he should lose his position as president & settled into prison for his crimes.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

Eight Senate Democrats, in capitulating to the Trump Republicans to end the shutdown, have succeeded in puncturing all the momentum of the last week since the election blowout.

An essential precondition for authoritarianism is the neutering of sources of real news.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

As I explained in my Round Up this week, the admin screwed up and a handful of states were able to access SNAP funding to pay full benefits for their constituents. The gov has represented in court that they can’t get it back, so it’s become an equity issue open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
