Monday

and travel was going to be disrupted.
And the national parks were going to fill up with garbage.

We had a huge win just a week ago... MAGA ( many SNAP families are MAGA ) was turning against Trump ( turns out they are all a bunch of socialists when it comes to THEIR benefits ).

And now that's gone. Did the health care costs of millions on the ACA get saved? Nope.

What was all the shutdown for? What the FUCK DID WE WIN? A promise on a VOTE by the Senate for a 1 year extension? A vote that we will likely lose? Even if the vote passes... do you think the House will pass it and Trump will sign it into law?

Tell me again how we are winning?
