We are still gonna win And we are gonna get our pound of flesh from these cowards for the people they've let down when we do

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.

The American People: “Chuck Schumer, we have provided you with all the leverage you need to win this shutdown fight, once and for all.” Chuck Schumer *flushing the leverage down the toilet*: “What?”

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

No Kings includes Angus

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

I think about this post a lot these days

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Whatever happens after this, y’all, we must all agree to do whatever non-felony things we can to make Schumer miserable until he resigns.

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

Sens. Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan -- who wrote this abomination of a deal -- should be fucking done in politics forever.

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

this sort of thing doesn’t end until a couple centrist senators go down in flames in a primary time to get some guys without nazi tattoos and get on that

This is all infuriating but we did still win all those elections, the *PEOPLE* are still furious and ready to act, and nothing the senate dems do can change that.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

this is why you gotta call your senators even if they aren’t part of the ‘cave’ group - we could still stop this if they realize they have to do this by themselves, with no cover from anyone else

Hey @peters.senate.gov I live in a safe Democratic state and if you cave on this we are going to FLOOD your strongest primary opponent with money

@ossoff.senate.gov A Democrat who votes to help Republicans out of their own mess in return for nothing at all is... a Republican We will not forget what happens next.

son brought home a pinto bean plant from school last spring. it yielded one (1) bean, which we planted. *that* plant yielded ... one (1) bean, which we have also planted. Five months of cultivation has yielded two beans. anyway, you were saying something about "grow your own food"

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Sheriffs nationwide have enormous control over jail voting access, with many restricting mail and voter guides, making it nearly impossible for incarcerated people to vote. A law in Colorado removed that discretion—and turnout has soared.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

The president is desperate to make sure Americans go hungry. Seems like a pretty big news story? Especially as he's throwing massive parties for himself and building a giant golden ballroom? If the media or Democrats are looking for a "kitchen table" issue, this seems like a *pretty* good fit

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

Fellow Bay Area folks! These puppies are up for adoption. PUPPIES.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

ChatGPT is doing everything 80s parents thought heavy metal and D&D did and I wish this was hyperbole

I love bsky

“if you elect Republicans they will actually pass and implement Republican legislation” is a sentence that should be banal but everyone smart understands is an extinction-level scenario for the party as it currently exists

Weed is a drug because I don't like it. Caffeine and alcohol are not drugs, however, because I like them very much. We should base our laws on this

Frankly women aren’t ruining enough things. Let’s ruin sports betting. Let’s ruin underwear companies that don’t account for people having butts. Let’s ruin trucks so big their fronts are taller than our heads. Let’s ruin the prison industrial complex. I believe in us!

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

the sandwich guy getting acquitted makes this extremely ridiculous video the white house posted of his arrest even funnier www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpvt...

the jury nullification take is wrong. If that’s what had happened they wouldn’t have sent a note to the judge asking for definitions of relevant terms. They just didn’t think he did the crime after considering the evidence and following the given instructions. Don’t charge sandwich cases.

Correction. Our costume was: "ALLEGED assault with a deli weapon, AN ALLEGATION ULTIMATELY REJECTED BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS AFTER CAREFUL DELIBERATION."

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.
