Raving Postcards from the Despicable Left on the End of the Shutdown

These fake lefties are out of their minds with TDS as they literally screech for a continuation of the government shutdown so the suffering of the American people can be blamed on Trump and the republicans. This is triage. You care for the critically ill first. 2.8 million people need a paycheck and 16 million kids need nutrition. Then you address the serious issue of the ACA subsidies which I believe neither the republicans nor the dems will allow to run out due to both parties being beholden to Big Business but maybe we should focus on a program allowing ACA consumers the option to receive Medicare instead. Either way, you fix the most impending issues first and right now that's getting government back up and running, then fix the subsidies issues. What you don't do is hope for more suffering so YOU can log a 'win'

Rabid Progressives are Hijacking the Shutdown Begging for Children to Starve

I wish I was kidding. They want a 'win' so f-ing bad it doesn't matter to them that people need paychecks and single moms need to feed their kids. They don't rate in the middle class Leftie Karens' eyes. All that matters is getting a win and telling everyone it's all the fault of the republicans. But who's fault will it be now if the deal falls thru?

Israel launches ‘fire belt’ in southern Gaza, killing 2 Palestinians, including child

from PressTV

The Israeli military has launched a “fire belt” in the southern Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians, including a child, in its latest breach of a ceasefire deal clinched last month to end more than two years of genocide by the Tel Aviv regime.

The fatalities were caused on Monday, when Israeli airstrikes targeted the town of Abasan, east of the city of Khan Younis, Palestinian medical sources reported.

The aggression also targeted the nearby town of Bani Suhaila.

Earlier in the day, medical sources had announced that a Palestinian child had been killed after an explosive device left behind by Israeli forces inside Khan Younis was detonated.

The death marked the second one of its type to take place in the mostly devastated coastal territory within less than 24 hours.

According to resistance outlets, the deadly violations, meanwhile, “coincide with the systematic destruction of residential areas” in Khan Younis' southeast and Rafah, another southern Gazan city.

“Shelling and explosions are constant along the eastern border of Gaza, causing fear among displaced families in their tents,” the reports also noted...

Israel is trying to divide Gaza in half along the ‘Yellow Line.’ What is it, and is it here to stay?

from Mondoweiss

Today, there are essentially two Gazas. One is ruled by Hamas as the de facto governing body in the Strip, and makes up about 47% of the territory. The remaining 53% is under the total military control of the Israeli army. 

Separating these two zones is an invisible border that’s being called “the Yellow Line,” splitting Gaza roughly in half down the middle. Even though Israel has been placing yellow cement blocks all across Gaza to demarcate the line, it’s supposed to be temporary. But what makes it very real is the number of people who are being killed near it.

According to the ongoing ceasefire agreement brokered by U.S. President Trump, this “temporary” withdrawal line is supposed to be moved back after the end of the ceasefire’s first phase, which is approaching its one-month mark. Negotiations are underway to advance to the second phase, but recent statements and reports indicate that the current division of Gaza could be permanent. There’s also something else to consider, and it’s even more troubling: what if the partition of Gaza is the point?...

My Take on the 'Grand Betrayal' of the Senate Dems on Shutdown Vote (video)

My Take on the 'Grand Betrayal' of the Senate Dems on Shutdown Vote

by Scott Creighton 

While Secular Talk and Parkrose Permaculture rant and rave about the Dem 'betrayal' and the lost opportunity to help win a mid-term a year from now, keep these numbers in mind...

'Approximately 1.4 million federal employees are currently without pay due to the government shutdown, with about half furloughed and the other half working without pay. This total includes roughly 670,000 furloughed civilian employees and another 730,000 essential employees who continue to work but without a paycheck. Additionally, roughly 1.4 million active-duty military and reserve personnel may also miss paychecks' 

That's 2.8 million people who were suddenly facing potential foreclosure or eviction or repossession of their family vehicles or any number of other tragedies that befall the suddenly unemployed.

Fake leftist upper middle class hacks like Parkrose Permaculture and Secular Talk don't even factor in the suffering the Rethuglicans were inflicting on the people in order to get what they wanted. It's almost as if these leftie ghouls WANTED people to lose their homes as a result of this just so long as they could bring it up in the next election cycle.

But trust me, these influencers weren't suffering any losses as they urge congress to hold the line.

And then there is this:

' Approximately 42 million people who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are at risk of losing or having their food stamp benefits delayed due to a government shutdown. This represents roughly one in eight people in the U.S., including about 16 million children...

 This includes approximately 16 million children, 8 million older adults, and 4 million people with disabilities...'

16 million kids were at risk and are still at risk of going hungry in the wealthiest nation on the planet and these progressive partisan ideologues don't give a shit about their suffering just so long as they can keep the American people mad at the opposition party.

Senate advances deal to reopen gov’t, fully restore SNAP benefits after Dems cave

from the New York Post

 

The Senate advanced a bipartisan deal late Sunday to end the record-breaking government shutdown, overcoming the biggest procedural hang-up that has been used to keep Uncle Sam’s lights off for the past 40 days.

In a 60-40 vote — with eight Democratic-leaning senators joining Republicans — the Senate invoked cloture to break the filibuster and move forward with a bipartisan spending patch to fund the government through Jan. 30, 2026, as well as a “minibus” package that will fully restore food stamp benefits...

... Instead, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) offered Democrats a vote on extending the enhanced Obamacare tax credits next month — something he put on the table over three weeks ago.

But Thune has said he is not guaranteeing it will pass the Senate, and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has made no such commitments to even take that measure up in the lower chamber.

In addition to a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies, Republicans agreed to hire back all the federal workers the Trump administration had laid off during the shutdown and give federal employees back pay...

Senate Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Democratic Defectors Relent

from the NYT

‘We’re not going to get what we want...But in the meantime, a lot of people are being hurt.” 

...  The 60-to-40 vote paved the way for the spending agreement to begin making its way through Congress, where it would still need to be debated and passed by the Senate, win approval in the House and be signed by President Trump to bring the shutdown to a close.

Eight senators in the Democratic caucus voted to advance the measure, which would fund most federal agencies through January. That indicated there were enough votes to end weeks of gridlock that has shuttered the government for 40 days, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed, millions of Americans at risk of losing food assistance and millions more facing air travel disruptions...

... One critical Democratic convert, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, said on Sunday evening that he was backing the deal after securing the provision in the temporary spending bill to reverse layoffs made during the shutdown and ensure furloughed workers would receive back pay. 

“This legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019,” Mr. Kaine said in a statement. “That’s a critical step.”...

Six Takeaways From the Senate Deal to End the Shutdown

from the NYT

After more than a month of stalemate, the Senate on Sunday took a crucial step toward reopening the government, when a small but critical group of Democrats broke from their party and voted with Republicans to advance legislation that would end the longest government shutdown in history

The shutdown is not over yet. Sunday’s 60-to-40 vote cleared the way for the Senate to formally debate the spending measure before a final vote. If the Senate approves it, the package still must be passed by the House — which has been on an extended recess and has not yet scheduled a return date — and signed by President Trump...

1. Democrats’ unity crumbled as the shutdown dragged on. 
2. Health care will stay in the political spotlight. 
3. Trump’s pressure tactics worked, even as voters blamed his party. 
4. Trump stayed on the sidelines. 
5. So did Republican leaders. 
6. Democrats notched a few gains. 

... Their biggest win was language that would restore the jobs of thousands of federal workers who were laid off during the shutdown and bar further reductions-in-force through Jan. 30, while guaranteeing back pay for hundreds of thousands of others who were furloughed, as required by law...
