Remember when Biden dropped the COVID isolation guidelines down to just 5 days, not because of any actual medical science, but because the Delta CEO asked him to? Our lives have always been meaningless to establishment Dems compared to the profits of the donor class.

At the same time the Trump administration is firing FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who investigated the J6 insurrection, they are pardoning those directly involved in trying to overturn the election and organizing January 6th, and prosecuting the President's perceived political enemies.

Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

And they've never tried or needed to hide it because their supporters will say, "Well, they don't mean me," right up until they're dead.

In case you're wondering how this will impact people with disabilities...Mercy and I pay $1600 per month for our health insurance BEFORE any increases and it *still* doesn't cover all of my Crohn's meds and procedures.

Yall it hasn't even been a week since Tuesday! You didn't even ride it for a week! I never want to hear a democratic consultant or anyone talk to me about public opinion polls, or votes because apparently none of that mattered tonight. Actually none of it mattered!

Right? I was at Walgreens getting poster board for a last-minute project and had to add 2 pints of ice cream and a family-sized package of double-stuff Oreos to my basket

if your constituents constantly have to talk you out of screwing them over you're BAD AT YOUR JOB

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Fascinating rabbit hole. Looked up the 'bluest blue' to toss off a political comment. Turns out it is Mas Blue, developed at Oregon State University in 2009. Not only is it the bluest blue, it is non-toxic - unlike most sources of blue pigment. Give me a Mas Blue Wave is what I'm saying.

I can’t support this bill. It doesn’t meet the urgency of the moment and deliver actual relief that can pass both chambers of Congress. I’ve been clear that we need real action to stop the devastating health care cost increases that are hurting millions of families. 1/2

"I vote Republican for religious reasons." Every major religion I know of teaches followers to care for the poor, feed the hungry, provide care for the sick, and treat everyone with love and respect even if they are of a different faith. Republicans punish the poor and voted to kill the sick.

still wild how many companies/media organizations/thought leaders etc. seem to be operating under the assumption this guy and his movement have the mandate of the American people when it's clear that most of us hate him

So, I'm just saying this flat out. If you play games that use ANY type of gen ai then you don't actually care real about creatives and only care about your own entertainment. Games like Arc Raiders and The Finals used gen ai, and if I see you playing them it's beyond disappointing.

I've been telling them how much the government shutdown costs my family as a spouse of an air traffic controller and how we are absolutely willing to stand with our reps during the shutdown if people don't lose their healthcare at the end. Hold the goddamn line.

Politico says the cavers have won. CR in exchange for fake vote on ACA subsidies in December. Politico at least says other Dems will give them cover. We’ll see. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

🎁link. My grandparents sent my dad and my aunts to the US during the war to protect them from being raised under the Nazis if Germany invaded the UK. Now we’re going to give asylum to neo Nazis and the New York Young Republicans are serenading them with the Nazi anthem.

My husband has become a pro bono entertainer at "children's" birthday parties. He was asked to give a presentation on motorcycle safety by a single mother who found out her teens were doing extremely dangerous stunts for TikTok. While the birthday teen was resentful, his friends all loved it.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Honestly these are the nights where it is the hardest to be here. I will keep yelling at Tommy Tuberville's voicemail because I'm a stubborn bitch, but I can't talk to the only people who might try to defend me, and when the dems cave they make it bad for their states but unlivable for ours.

Me: goth gothity goth darkness goth dj gothy goth and the fresh goth Also me:

Before the ACA, I couldn't get insurance as a freelancer at all, bc I'm a type 1 diabetic, so "pre-existing conditions." It was absolute shit on my health, scavenging for insulin & test strips, constantly in life or death debates about being able to go to the doctor. I had no primary care.

This is who Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are caving to—a president who gets loudly booed at Washington Commanders game.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

It's funny watching not-that-old detective shows where part of a crime's motive is a politician or other powerful figure trying to cover up a scandal like an affair or taking a bribe from a wealthy donor. Sometimes, they resign rather than face the humiliation...and it all feels so unrealistic now.

"It's not a deal. It’s an unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double," says Rep. @ritchietorres.bsky.social. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrats-co...

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

Why does the House, the larger of the two legislative bodies, not simply eat the Senate

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.

I got on to Bsky to see what was happening while waiting for pain meds to work and now I have a headache and the pain meds aren't actually helping my shoulder. *sighs* This country breaks my brain and my heart.

By saying this "appeared to break the logjam..." the implication is that DEMS will have caused that to fail. It is a calculated and deliberate attempt to tilt the narrative in favor of the Republicans. And any reporter who fails to mention that should be treated as a MAGA operative

If you have an FSA you have an employer. If you have an employer that offers an FSA you probably get insurance from your employer and thus do not qualify for the subsidies in the first place. If you don't congrats on a bunch of added steps to be compensated.

This is so pants-on-head stupid. Even IF people are able to get and spend the money in their FSAs - which has an expiration date, and which can only be spent on certain “covered” expenses - they’ll still have to pay the insurance premiums they can’t control or afford.

Cancelling all air travel for the near future bc THE INCOMPETENCE is mind blowing and I’ll be damned if I let Sean The Real World: Boston Duffy to determine the safety of my air travel.

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.

People who sanitize and erase history are monsters dooming us to repeat our worst moments... and typically they're also wiping away heroes they don't approve of. So racist and disgusting.

I have a f*ing doctorate in epidemiology and I’m still so confused about how to pick a health insurance plan. Open enrollment should not be this hard!

Volleyball is just malicious hot potato with two sets of matching outfits.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

reminds me of that one meme lol

I love the click and I love how much I've learned from struggling to figure it out. My writing is a hundred times better for the journey and working with real live editors. If you use AI to skip the hard parts, can you even call the doc file you arrive at "a work"? And it's full of stolen words.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

I actually would have died in my early 20s from my gallbladder failing back then...and that's if I survived that long. I was born cesarean. I suspect a great many of us wouldn't be around to need further healthcare had we been born over a century ago. I don't even understand this argument.

CNN taking headline cues from The New York Times He's not "appearing" to close his eyes HE'S CLOSING HIS EYES!

I’m not bailing out the only people in the world who can actually afford to lose $13 billion. Go fuck yourselves.
