Everybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.

Congress has given us every reason to doubt their ability to effectively defend cuts to, or total elimination of, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, LIHEAP, WIC, TANF, etc. States like California may be facing a budget crunch if tax revenue are depressed from economic volatility. We are not prepared.
