Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Yep, that's us.

So angry I can't see straight.

Thanksgiving coming up; who's denying food to needy Americans? REPUBLICANS

Thanksgiving coming up; who's fucking up air travel on the busiest air travel day of the year? REPUBLICANS

Big increases in Obamacare premiums just about to burst on the scene, whose fault? REPUBLICANS

Judges beginning to force Trump's hand on SNAP *and* on invasions of blue cities by ICE and Nat'l Guard--whose loss? REPUBLICANS

Massive voter support for Democracts just days ago--whose loss? REPUBLICANS

WTF is wrong with us? Why couldn't we have held out? What do we have left to bargain with?

I wanna be sedated.

Can't say I am surprised but this is so frustrating. I don't even know what to say anymore.

The deal calls for a vote on ACA extension in the Senate with a bill chosen by Democrats.

Republicans will fully own the consequences of failing to renew the subsidies.

In the meantime, millions of federal workers will get paid again, countless will be able to catch up on late mortgage and credit card payments, and SNAP families will no longer be at risk of being starved by Donald Trump.
