Democrats block bill to avoid shutdown so Homeland Security can be decided on its own
Time is running out to reach an agreement and avoid another government shutdown
Bluesky is probably not going to like hearing this, but enequivocally, the fact Democrats have been able to get *some* concessions to split DHS and the minibus is an unequivocal W for Chuck Schumer and Democrats.

Governor of California Faces Healthcare Crisis: 31,000 Kaiser Workers Announce INDEFINITE STRIKE
31K Kaiser workers began an indefinite strike on Jan. 26.
π₯ NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT!
It's about safe staffing levels & patient care, not just wages. Kaiser is choosing profit over patients, & has left the negotiating table.
What can the public do?
See thread pls.

I mean, whatever you think of Obama this is obviously true even if you extend it to my lifetime. You have to go back to LBJ to find someone for who there's even a colorable argument, and I don't think it's clear-cut by any means

that the president is a rapidly decaying lunatic is the worst kept secret in the world right now

They have no right to kill Americans who peaceably assemble and dissent, who blow whistles, or who film the agentsβ violent acts."

Anyone who has been remotely paying attention knows Stephen Miller runs the show in Trump's WH.
He is the de facto President of this regime who is dunking Trump's presidency in the sewer (which was already in the trash heap. Wonder if anyone will clue Trump in? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Multiple protests at Collins' Maine offices today. People are pissed. She told Mainers she was very powerful as Approps Chair. Instead, she keeps showing how weak and feckless she is:
