Millions are losing healthcare today because of Republican cruelty and the cowardice of the eight Senate Democrats who voted with them.
"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: https://theatln.tc/ZOBij51v

Workers are about to see their health insurance costs go up by 5%.
Employers will see 10% higher health insurance costs.
That's because healthcare is being cut in order to send a six-figure tax break to each member of the richest 1%.
I'm sure that'll be great for the economy.

The proposed federal budget slashes $12 billion from education and guts programs like Title I, after-school care, and teacher training.

🏘VICTORY! Tarrytown opts into #GoodCause with the strongest tenant protections possible.
It will give power back to tenants by enabling them to fight for the living conditions they deserve, and protecting them from exorbitant rent increases, often used as unofficial eviction notices.
