Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

This is not an isolated incident among the GOP. Not by a long shot. Where is the outrage? Where are the arrests?

I am a breast cancer survivor and am high-risk for colon cancer. If this budget passes, I will have to pay for mammograms & colonoscopies: about $3K, not counting any labs. Many cancer survivors won't be able to afford lifesaving tests.

The ACA ensures free mammos, colonoscopies & other tests & prevents insurance co.s from turning ppl away or charging more for pre-existing conditions, and more. That affects all of us.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I can't tell you how many people I know who had HPV and cancer scares (or cancer) in our 20s and 30s. It's awesome that younger people won't have the same risks.

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations.
