Everyone should have access to what they need to live with dignity. I am very liberal. Grew up in Chicago. I worked in public health. I read constantly, knit and crochet, attend protest rallies, bake stuff, and grow flowers & vegetables.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:

Senate Democrats Just Made a Huge Mistake

The shutdown was hurting Trump. Ending it helps him.

@schumer.senate.gov successfully convinced 7 members of the opposition to surrender to the fascists while voting "no" in an attempt to save his own ass. Jokes on you, you treacherous fuck, I and many others have a long memory. We'll make sure you and your co-conspirators are primaried, you cowards.

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.

And make health insurance affordable.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

I'm voting no.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Mainers last week rejected a GOP-led ballot initiative that would’ve severely limited mail-in voting, and “further [diluted] the voting rights of people with disabilities, seniors and working Mainers who are unable to take the day off from work to vote.”
