  1. My partner, Kat, has Multiple Sclerosis, and can no longer work full-time. They applied for disability, but a decision will take some time. We need help surviving in the meantime.

    We’ve live paycheck to paycheck, and have no savings whatsoever. We also rely on SNAP for food.

    Please boost, and consider donating if you can.

  2. The House's recess during a shutdown is strategic. It accelerates the defunding of social programs, ensuring the government can concentrate on its bipartisan mission of capital accumulation and global military dominance.

  3. The Matt Gaetz ethics report will probably not come out today due to the shutdown.

  4. SHUTDOWN: KEY POINTS
    • A federal government shutdown will start Oct. 1 unless Congress passes spending legislation.
    • If there is a shutdown, nonessential functions would cease.
    • Federal workers wouldn’t get paychecks, households may not receive some federal benefits and customer service for student loan borrowers and others may be delayed.
    • The potential impact will grow the longer a shutdown persists.

  5. Apparently House GOP “wouldn’t mind” a brief shutdown if it led to the resolution they want*

    Of course they wouldn’t mind it. They will all continue to get paid.
