    We did it. We defended the post-ACA status quo in healthcare for two years while the held all of the levers of power – we largely fought them to a standstill. The disability community – the entire disability community – did this.

    Storytelling is how we humanize public policy. It's what saved the ACA. It's what did with Jeff Flake on that elevator. It's what brought us the original Progressive movement. More please.

    They invented the fucking “Biden rule” to block Garland & reporters bought that. They pretended they cared about amendments and open process & reporters bought that. They pretended that Obama not golfing with them was why they wouldn’t work with him & reporters bought that.

    Impeachment shouldn’t be taken lightly, and good for Democrats to wait until Mueller is finished. But even on the off-chance he uncovers no additional wrongdoing, federal prosecutors have already implicated the President in multiple campaign felonies. So maybe look into that!

    Here’s the reality: this shutdown could end with Trump cracking—or with McConnell simply overriding a Trump veto and re-passing the spending bill that previously sailed unanimously through the Senate and, in the next Congress, just passed the House.

    Mike Pence and senior Trump officials are giving themselves $10,000 raises, paid for by you and the 800,000 federal workers who aren’t getting a paycheck right now.

    One thing we have the power to do is ignore the obviously bad faith and hypocritical condemnations about coarse language from Republicans. Let them freak out about it in their little echo chamber. The rest of us have real problems to deal with.
