No health care, no deal.

Schumer: "However this vote turns out, this fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight."

I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership. I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.

Just a reminder that after the “Schumer Surrender” in March, 82% of our group leaders in New York (and 91% of our group leaders nationwide) voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. 👇

Did you get your new healthcare premium notice yet? “Medicare for All” is starting to sound real good to a lot of folks who didn’t want to talk about it before. Same page now!

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social I’m a constituent that voted for you. Do not cave to open the government that does not include reinstating subsidies for those that are enrolled in the ACA/Obamacare. Courts are requiring F47 to fund SNAP. Citizens need affordable health insurance! Do not cave!

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You’re banging out a message for all of us!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 #HoldTheLine #SaveTheACA

We are teaching a groundbreaking class at USC titled “Bridging the Media Gap Between L.A. Influencers and Independent Journalists” trying to create a new style of ethical hybrid reporting that will usher in this brave new era of journalism. A letter from our editor: lataco.com/usc-class-la...

West LA Freeway Brigade from last Thursday. I had to miss it since I am in Chicago. Message shouldn’t have been controversial at all. Hopefully not too many 🖕🖕! @indivisiblewestsidela.com

Apparently Tim Kayne is a yes 🤬 Call him!!!!

Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 Tell your Dem senators not to cave. Hold out for ACA funding. When they fight, they win. (See: Tuesday election results) @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov

Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121

What the actual fuck, Chuck? Call @schumer.senate.gov NOW at (202) 224-6542 to let him know: We cannot afford another Schumer surrender. #HoldTheLine

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov DO NOT CAVE ON THE SHUTDOWN. You cannot re-open for anything less than full extension of the ACA subsidies. The promise of a vote is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. You have momentum on your side and Tuesday's election results show we want FIGHTERS. SO FIGHT.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing very much in the fight against Trump and then I go to our @indivisiblewestsidela.com meeting's and realize "yeah, actually, we've done a lot."

Please consider donating to the Lowcountry Food Bank for our neighbors in need.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

This shouldn’t be controversial. Oh wait—it isn’t!! FOOD NOT BALLROOMS!! and of course AX ICE @indivisible.org @kittywestmeow.bsky.social @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Turns out people don’t like either rampant cruelty or being fucked over quite as much as GOP has been counting on

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

ICE is denying people their due process rights and endangering their lives in the process. “People were not supposed to spend more than 12 hours in there,” said a former ICE official who worked on oversight and detention issues. “I actually think it’s wildly, wildly fucked up.”

💯💯💯

THE PEOPLE'S TRIAL OF CBP CHIEF GREG BOVINO. With a symbolic cardboard gavel, @icirr.bsky.social & partners rallied 11/5 outside Chicago's fed. courthouse, where a hearing was underway over treatment of protesters & journalists. WE FIND BOVINO GUILTY of abduction, assault, terrorism & other crimes!

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

There is light at the end of this tunnel. Keep fighting. Keep organizing. Keep voting. Keep protesting. Keep boycotting. Keep informing. Keep resisting. Keep hoping. We will not only get through this—we will end fascist and oligarchic rule, and build a democratic future that works for all of us.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

BIG NEWS buried amid the blue wave: @govwesmoore.bsky.social announces that Maryland is IN when it comes to redrawing maps for 2026. "Come next November in Maryland, we will have fair maps."

So actually we really DO have friends everywhere Also they vote 😏

This is my kind of lawyering! -The agent said the sandwich “exploded” on him- he felt it strike through his ballistic vest. Atty Shroff showed a photo of the sandwich on the ground, almost entirely in its wrapper, after it struck the agent. “In fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” she said.

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

🤣🤣🤣

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Apparently the jurors can’t stop laughing in the sandwich throwing case in court today.

Prop 50 passes! Thank you, California!!

There are more of us than there are of them.
