Joe Scarborough: Republicans are losing the political battle over the shutdown It’s been a long time since Democrats have been on the right side of any political fight when you look at the polls, but this is one of those times.

A pair of notable numbers:

72% of Americans side with Democrats on extending AFA coverage - their main issue in the shutdown fight.

69% of the country feel the nation is heading in the wrong direction.

We the People know what is right and what is wrong.

As part of Trump’s planned Reduction in Force (RIF) during the government shutdown, the Interior Department said it plans to lay off about 2,050 employees, including 272 from the National Park Service (NPS), 335 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS),

I respect that there are no perfect candidates and purity tests lead to political stasis but also I’d really love it if more politicians could overcome the very minor barrier of “never did Nazi shit”

Washington, DC, facing $20 million security funding cut despite Trump complaints of crime The Trump administration plans to slash security funding for Washington, D.C., according to a grant notice, even as President Donald Trump asserts crime in the U.S. capital is “totally out of control.”

If Trump was worried about the public’s security in D.C. , he would not have cut D.C’s security funds by 44%. This is about moving the unhoused , & forcing them into labor.

It’s also to militarize D.C. streets. To satisfy his fetish of controlling a territory with tanks - it’s fash porn.

‘No Kings’ Was Biggest Protest in U.S. History: Data Analyst For reference, that’s between 1 and 2 percent of the total population of the United States.

Not too shabby. Now we build on it. www.thedailybeast.com/data-guru-g-...

Rev. Barber: Americans are learning the details of how this big ugly, deadly bad bill would kill tens of thousands of people in our communities…That is why this regime is in panic, and when an authoritarian is weak, he will do anything to get attention.

Hell yeah No Kings Alexandria is 🔥🔥🔥

CBO Confirms GOP Budget Bill Triggers Medicare Cuts Republican Plan Adds to the Deficit, Will Trigger Automatic Cuts Under Federal Law

turns out the GOP budget bill adds so much to deficits that it will automatically trigger cuts to Medicare (not just Medicaid).
Older voters unlikely to be happy about this when word gets out

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

I don’t have a representative as I live with taxation without representation in Washington DC 🤷‍♀️
