Party sticks to its guns on healthcare and says it’s willing to hold out – much to the delight of its progressive supporters
When he sat down to talk about the US government shutdown with reporters from a closely read political newsletter this week, Chuck Schumer sounded as if he was relishing his standoff with the Republicans.
“Every day gets better for us,” he told Punchbowl News. As the shutdown got under way, Schumer explained, the Republican part believed that Democrats would quickly fold and vote to reopen the government, but instead they had stuck to their guns for a week and a half, demanding an array of concessions on healthcare and other issues.
Outrage followed from Republicans, who printed out the Senate minority leader’s remark on posters and condemned it before press conferences. The shutdown has prompted federal agencies to close or curtail operations nationwide, and forced hundreds of thousands of employees to stay home without immediate pay. Schumer, Republicans argued, was being callous.
walz teamed up with trump to end the protests of pipelines and that construction means poorer health for all of us and future generation on the whole planet we currently have no way to fix or to leave
and that is just one very recent example but at least one side likes blue and uses different letters am right?
One (unsourced) example doesn’t disprove the extremely obvious night and day difference that your trump campaigning seeks to erase. I have to start blocking every person like you for my own mental health. It’s disgusting what you’re doing
