...republicans have control over ALL branches of government.

What exactly do you think is goinbg to happen after we vote to shut the government down?Is the position here that we shouldn't talk to the president or republicans to try and get our health care benefits extended?

What kind of politics is this when people are attacking the ones actually working to claw back the republican budget for demanding a seat at the table and to make their proposals in person alongside of the republican leaders?

How the fuck is demanding an extension on health care subsidies caving? And how the fuck does yelling at people trying to make that happen help ANYONE?

I mean, what the fuck is the motivation here? DO ANY OF THE PEOPLE CRITICIZING THIS EFFORT GET HEALTH CARE SUBSIDES UNDER THE ACA?

How do you folks railing against Chuck plan to get those extended? Or is that just not something you were thinking about or none of your concern?

I believe the subsidies/tax credits for ACA and Medicaid expire tomorrow. yellow dahlia Sep 29 #27

I don't believe that is correct. They expire on December 31, 2025 if not renewed. lostincalifornia Sep 29 #28

7 days or 7 months - the narrative will be a cave. This is how today's media works. walkingman Sep 29 #7

The problem isn't "the narrative" iemanja Sep 29 #8
