One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trumpās illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling ā a betrayal, really ā is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itās about peopleās lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care? What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where heās advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing itās a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Trumpās brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would ānegotiateā this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.
