I thought Democrats would get to write the bill Chuck. I thought that was the big "concession" the "Gang of 8" that you somehow "Didn't direct" wink wink but also somehow doesn't mean you can't keep your caucus in line extracted in exchange for opening the government. Not a good sign for how that vote they pinky promised you is gonna go of they're already spitting on what you supposedly wanted out of that vote.

But you got to protect the filibuster Chuck. That's what really matters. Heaven forbid you clowns actually be forced to govern and not just rely on Revolving Door Villains to block anything that isn't a corporate giveaway.

Americans have healthcare? Is that what you call it?

I assume democrats will jump at the chance. Fuckers.

(the headline) by that you mean, senate republicans are ransoming americans' healthcare for discrimination

I checked into this today and the current status is that this version of the bill doesn't have enough support thank goodness. However neither does the other version of the bill, so ppl still lose this cushion that would have continued to help people pay these health care premiums. It was disgusting to see the Republicans try and pin these things together and I was very apathetic that Democrats would push back on it.

Now we go back to waiting days or weeks for the next attack on gender affirming care on a federal level. They won't stop trying to take away our ability to safely transition so we have to keep fighting.

Stay safe siblings <3
