House just released a 1,059-page appropriations package including DOD, Labor-HHS, T-HUD and DHS money.

The DHS bill doesn’t contain the ICE reforms Democrats have asked for.

This includes a package of health care changes (no ACA) including PBM overhaul.

Pretty sure repukes will do away with those if given the chance.

Pay most attention to what the news doesn't talk about...

“We want to use all the tools that we have in the arsenal. And I’m very bullish, very optimistic. I think we can do something,” he said last week, discussing the prospect of Republicans passing a party-line package under a process known as reconciliation.

Shut it down until that stops.

It's the power we have right now.

Use it. And message the crap out of it on every podcast and every news show on every outlet and network.
