People are pissed about the Senate. I am, too.
Thatβs why itβs so important that House Democrats continue to fight like hell for affordable health care (and hopefully get a few Rs to join us).
Silver lining: Rep. Grijalva can now be sworn inβwhich gives us the votes to release the Epstein files.

1/2 The shutdown βdealβ revolves around a wink and a nod that Sen. Thune will hold a vote on lowering healthcare premiums in December.
That doesnβt guarantee it will happen. It also doesnβt guarantee it will pass.

How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy
"Hundreds of billions of dollars in new breaks for big businesses and investors... contributing hundreds of billions of dollars to the federal deficit, on top of the trillions that the legislation signed by Trump in July is already adding to the deficit..."

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told.
This is the package:
- CR thru Jan 30
- A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill
- Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future
PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26
Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

Mills has already said she's working on what she can do.
What will YOU do?
Is your campaign donating to food banks?
Are you personally?
Are you encouraging your supporters to donate to food banks instead of some donations they would make to your campaign?
Words are the easy part of campaigns.

My expert political opinion is that killing the job market, raising grocery prices, kicking people off their health care, stealing taxpayer money, and trying to starve 40 million Americans is pretty damn unpopular.
