    1. Fine, that’s it. New government. Food, shelter, healthcare, and education for everyone.

      Cool reminder that a shutdown Trump Administration is hardly different than a funded Trump Administration.

      „You better have alternative plans for Thanksgiving.“

      I fail to see how that goes in favor of the Republicans. You ruined people’s holiday plans that way. Even if you wanted to blame the democrats, *you all* did not do or propose anything to make it better. That’s what makes these negotiations a pissing contest. If you offered something to the democrats and they rejected it, then okay, I could see reps saying „Well we offered this, see what’s going on? The Dems are ruining Thanksgiving!“ But they are choosing the worst possible option by offering no alternative to those looking for action from someone. There are plenty of people in the middle who just want action from *somebody*. People say the GOP are masters of the message now but this is really terrible messaging.

      Edit: I also just saw they want to pass „mini bills“ for specific funding to try and smoke out Dems by saying they *are* willing to fund these things but are hopelessly clinging to the healthcare portion and have no reason to do so. I really don’t see the point of this here, the other portions of funding were never in doubt by Dems.

      This is probably gonna beat the 35-day record one, yeah? Parties are at a complete stalemate in almost every sense

      A bill is getting voted on today in the Senate to fund the military, which is honestly kinda bad for Dems. Vote yes and they’re capitulating, vote no and it’ll be harder to connect this to healthcare.
