I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.

Wow! It’s a good thing those 8 senators folded to ensure the restoration of the SNAP benefits they’re now trying to cut.

It means Hegseth lied and then discovered he might be in trouble, so he lied more. It’s the “fog of lies”, www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

Want to make sense of all the news? Keep it simple. The GOP has lost all credibility (forever) easy. Remember this?

Any presidential candidate who calls for stricter legislative limits on executive authority is in the lead for my vote.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…” Wanting to address this isn’t radical. NOT wanting to is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is Republican “leadership” - a guy who wanted and took the job and is now continuously whining about how hard it is. What did he expect?! Likely, just more perks with no price. Surprise, Mr. Speaker!!! FAFO. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

By his own standards and his insistence on scapegoating and blaming, Trump should either explain why he and his administration granted Asylum to the DC shooter suspect SEVEN MONTHS AGO, fire Noem and Homan and apologize - or Trump should resign

How heartbreaking & angering is this? It'll be weiners and beans in jail - BOTH kinds!

Are we surprised? More thanks to the cowardly eight! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Facts matter…

There is no Republican “good faith offer” on the ACA if it includes additional abortion restrictions. Let’s hope the “infamous eight” don’t sell that red line down the F’ing river like they did the shutdown. Which, of course, is what precipitated this show down.

He just keeps claiming Biden's accomplishments. Sad little, lying, ignorant man doesn't have any of his own. 💥💯💥🖕🖕🖕🖕

Cassidy’s new healthcare “plan” appears to ignore the well established laws of risk sharing in exchange for cash for HSAs that we all f’ing know middle and lower class families cannot & will not afford with their tight finances. Again, solutions that help the rich. www.politico.com/live-updates...

My constituent, Vicente Ventura Aguilar, has been missing for over a month after being snatched by immigration officials in South Los Angeles. Yet, CBP and ICE claim he was never in their custody. I’m demanding answers. Please share this—we must find Vicente.

Ok, pretty funny of Zohran’s people to put out the absolute model of the sort of statement that drives Bluesky absolutely *insane* to be studiously ignored On Here because of the source

Tell you what, Sean, you get airlines to return to the seat size, leg room, and service of the 60s, and we’ll consider adopting the dress code of the 60s. Hard to dress up for a flight when you need to squeeze into sardine-can seats. Fuckwit. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/t...

What the actual f-ck?!! Now RFKJr is actually posting anti-vax propaganda on the CDC site. Where TF are Cassidy & Barassos?! Too busy working in a plan to undermine our health insurance plan to attend to the little JFKJr disaster they enabled? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/h...

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.

So, for THIS we need to write a big story, but let’s not look “over there” where trump administration officials and family are engaging in open graft and corruption. apple.news/A40chsX0sR5C...

I think there are 8 senators who owe snap recipients a big f’ing apology. 1st, republicans reply to the passage of the CR by proposing the ACA should bar abortion. Now, they’re torturing the snap recipients dems caved to “save”. We could never have predicted this! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The math on the republicans’ stupid ACA alternative proposal doesn’t really “math”. What about PE conditions, older insureds, sex differences, etc…? And the “high risk pool” shit didn’t work before the ACA, won’t work now. apple.news/AZX8b4xTpTuS...

Republicans have used this legislation to bypass the civil court system that would make a lawsuit - the way their constituents would have to challenge something like this - untenable. In other words , “the legal system is for thee and not for me”. apple.news/AIryf-JEKQg6...

After 15 years of whining and ranting about, & trying to repeal, the ACA, & here’s the the current state of Republican thinking: “We’re pulling together the best ideas that we can, in the quickest fashion, to bring premiums down,” Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday night.” Pathetic.

Baltimore Veterans Speak Out

Read it and weep, RFKJr. Actual science… www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

If republicans want to “bypass” “greedy insurance companies” then democrats need to take that pledge & use it to argue for universal single payer coverage. For instance, Medicare for All would address the republicans’ claimed (and totally inauthentic) concern about insurers profiting from patients

Yet another example of liberal “strategy” f’ed up. She thought she could avoid delays with her initial decision? apple.news/AfPvEVavdRNm...

As republicans talk about “giving the ACA funds back” to “voters”, have they talked about how to handle the parts of the ACA that essentially run our entire health system? Virtually everything is tied into the ACA. If they drop that it will mean (more) chaos in our ailing healthcare system.

What if, after winning the key battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln had decided to surrender to the Confederacy? That’s kind of how the democrats’ deal to open government after last Tuesday’s electoral victories feels…

So, it took democrats about 5 days to pry a defeat out of the voters’ hard work and major electoral victories on Election Day. Good work!(?)

So after Tuesday’s rout of republicans at polls, democrats apparently decided winning is too hard & they need to destroy their momentum for the 2026 midterms as quickly as possible. Republicans were struggling to “fix” the midterms, but I think dems may have made that unnecessary. Way to lose!

New WTF just dropped.

Haha..haahahahaha. Boy, Elise did you miscalculate! apple.news/AMGdPPhsZR-K...

So, Schumer sold out - offering republicans cover for the consequences of their votes with a 1 year ACA extension. Even if they decline, that a-hole needs to go.

WTF!? Schumer is offering a “compromise” of extending ACA subsidies for a year, & an agreement for a group to “negotiate” with republicans to do nothing to support the ACA. Which, of course, will protect republicans from the consequences of their cuts through the midterms. This is unbelievable.

1/* OK, I’ve got a real stick up my butt about this. (1) Is the f’ing Director of CMS telling us vital healthcare decisions are comparable to ordering Uber and streaming videos!? Don’t know about you, but I see a difference between a missed Uber & AI denying healthcare… bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yet another “feature” of the Trump reign. Using CFPB for the opposite purpose for which it was intended. To reduce, rather than increase, financial protections. It’s a matched pair with the canceled ACA subsidies. These actions say “I’m not running for reelection, F you” apple.news/A5Lgode0cTT-...

So it looks like conservative scotus justices are trying to weasel out of the obvious ruling by arguing the president’s power to shut down trade generally may include the lesser power to impose tariffs. An “implied” power granted by “textual originalists”. Irony. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

A shout out to Maine for resoundingly defeating the ballot measure to further restrict voting access, and approving the measure to make it easier to restrict firearm access for dangerous people.
