Union for US Capitol Police:

"My officers are on duty today protecting the Capitol complex.. Friday, they missed their first FULL paycheck.The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for my officers. Banks & landlords do not give my officers a pass because we are in shutdown.."

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

I'm glad to hear that. Most are not though, and are not held to following Medicare guidelines. Some who become ill find that out.

I’ve been with Kaiser since 1972. I transitioned to their advantage Medicare plan ten years ago. No complaints. They’re a non profit.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

Sigh, you are right....and locally is where we need to concentrate first. A tactic that was used very well by the Koch brothers all during the Obama years to now. School boards, and up.

But our fearless reps, who have shut down the government, still get paid, and have all the free healthcare they need. Something is wrong here, when are we going to make it right?

JJ @jjfroggy.bsky.social · 4h

The cost of healthcare will increase exponentially very soon. And everyone is going to be shell shocked! This is not a joke! I just talked to an insurance consultant yesterday she explained that anyone with ACA coverage will have an increase with at least $1000 a year. And possibly dropped. It’s bad

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.
