For those who do not do PHP software development: the arrow points to an annotation which ChatGPT said according to prompt is not to be used. It also points to a code segment which is pure nonsense. It's not merely not doing what it should, it's pure nonsense, PHP will abort with a syntax error.

Dick Durbin suffers from a terminal case of Senate Brain, in which the big prize is a handshake deal with your distinguished colleagues where they'll allow you to hold a meaningless vote that you can then point to with pride to your constituents as they go broke from crushing medical bills.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

Voting to fund the government means you voted to fund everything the government is doing. That's the whole point. It's not about some narrow this or that on the margins. You own the whole enchilada, you're saying "yes, this overall package for everything the government's doing is acceptable to me."
