Maybe I’m late to this realization, but it just hit me… What are the odds that Speaker Johnson calls the House back for a CR vote with the Epstein files still hanging over his head? Those 8 Dems might have hung themselves out to dry and risked being primaried for nothing.

@kaine.senate.gov you lost the forest for the trees here and I’m really disappointed. ~Virginian.

We don’t negotiate for empty promises & an IOU Republicans never intend to deliver on. People need affordable healthcare. Please contact Senate Democrats and tell them to hold the line. @kaine.senate.gov

Flood the phones: (202) 224-3121 Tell Chuck Schumer to grow a spine and hold the line… There should be no deal that leaves working families behind.

Add @kaine.senate.gov Call and tell him to oppose the deal if you are in Virginia 202-224-3121

It’s not strategtic or a “play” to negotiate away your only leverage to people who have shown they will never honor their promises. Hold the line. Call Chuck Schumer to remind him what we’re fighting for

So not only are Republicans withholding SNAP money, now Donald Trump is demanding the states UNDO their payments of SNAP for November. Damn, the Trump Administration really doesn’t want kids to eat. 🥴 www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

“Gang members & drug cartels” turned into little old grandmothers & harmless daycare workers real quick.

The loss of SNAP benefits means that people are choosing between feeding themselves or feeding their pets. Absolutely no one should have to make that choice. Let’s flood food banks & shelters with pet food & connect with corporations willing to step up—looking at Chewy youtube.com/shorts/GwyeT...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is not the villain and if we adequately funded/taught civic education in our schools, everyone would know that.

Shelters where I live have pet food pantries. Please check for these resources before surrendering your pets!

50-year mortgages benefit banks, not buyers. HOPE THAT HELPS 🫠

Please check in with your neighborhood shelters to see how you can help—applications to foster pets, food donations, volunteers are all needed! apnews.com/article/pets...

Cutting SNAP benefits & violent ICE raids are impacting animals too. Families are desperately trying to feed their pets as the Trump Administration refuses to pay the food subsidies these families rely on. 🧵

🗣️ “The Democrats are responsible for loss of SNAP” *Donald Trump ignores federal judges order to FEED people, escalates fight against SNAP to higher court* 🗣️ “but the Democrats…” If you want to starve kids in the name of political theater, have the guts to be honest about it.

"Live your life like it was running out," with Republicans it truly is. My son with cystic fibrosis lives his life advocating for others We will always fight for affordable healthcare, for everyone. Thank you @repsuhas.bsky.social for holding the line on healthcare.

House Republicans and this administration are out of touch with what the American people want—lower costs and affordable health care. We need bipartisanship to end this shutdown.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children? SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

In Washington DC tonight As judge orders Trump to pay SNAP BENEFITS He doesn't care Mothers are skipping meals to feed their children Seniors and Veterans are in need Families are suffering Help your local foodbank please !! Cruel and Callous Trump Release SNAP BENEFITS NOW

Trump: We cant give everything away Also Trump: Argentina gets $40 Billion, and I get a new ballroom…oh, and did you see Kristi Noem’s new jets?

Happening Now in the Senate Republicans SHOULD VOTE YES IMMEDIATELY The American People deserve affordable Healthcare #GOPHealthcareShutdown

After last night, I find it even harder to believe that Donald Trump won all of the swing states. Who's with me?

Voters nationwide, *from across the political spectrum,* showed up at the ballot box Tuesday, confirming that Americans are tired of the cruel and lawless Trump administration. There is NO negotiating with our healthcare. Full stop. HOLD THE LINE, DEMOCRATS 🇺🇸 #GOPHealthCareShutdown

The contrast could not be greater

WTH? So on the heels of Tuesday’s election results, literally willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. This is why Mamdani won.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 HOLD THE LINE SENATE DEMS! Did Tuesday mean nothing?? Call Congress NOW: 202-224-3121 👇🏽

As bad as this looks, the article explaining the background makes it even worse They won't say it, but they grabbed her simply because she was brown.

It BOGGLES THE MIND that there are Democratic senators considering caving to the GOP, who will then have ALL the leverage AND increase our insurance premiums for funsies HOLD. THE. LINE. SENATORS: Kelly—AZ Slotkin—MI Peters—MI Ossoff—GA Coons-DE Cortez Mason—DE Rosen—NV Shaheen—NH Hassan—NH King-ME

Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs. Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs. So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.

Yesterday we began to take back our power Victories in Virginia, New Jersey, California and the NYC Mayoral election give us hope But we MUST stay engaged Too many lives are at stake While ICE still roams the streets every day, terrorizing people We can never relent www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8D5oGnG/

Democrats, don’t let the word “socialist” spook you. I’m not Democratic socialist, but I’m damn proud to be part of a party big enough to hold all of us. FACT: Republicans call every Democrat a socialist, It’s all they’ve got. And, who doesn’t love that Republicans are having melt down over it.

Dementia Don Imagine if Biden did this Oh BTW Should also say Pedo Potus Playroom

When my grandmother had Alzheimer’s we also had to tape up signs & labels so she’d remember things. But how much did the gold leaf on printer paper cost us taxpayers? 🥴

Some mysteries solve themselves.

Congratulations, California! PROP 50 WINS!

There were a lot of factors that drove more white women to vote for Democrats in Virginia, but one of them was reproductive healthcare. 🧵

The big feelings—knowing that I spent a year focused on one goal, working incredibly hard to see that goal achieved, and then to watch it actually happen, exactly the way I envisioned it, because we all worked together to make it happen. I’m just really proud of all of us 🥹

Republicans, if you think this is a bad night, wait until this time next year. I’m a millennial, educator, mom to 2 autistic girls in Virginia. I’m also AuDHD with a justice sensitivity & I KNOW there are MANY more of me willing to spend a year in hyperfocus ruining your plans. Y’all are so fcked.

With just over 15% reporting, the projected gap seems decisive enough for Spanberger to drag Jay Jones over the finish line. Dems will sweep Virginia.

And they’re calling it—Abigail Spanberger has defeated Winsome Earle Sears & will be the first woman to ever serve as governor in the state of Virginia. Supermoon is high & bright tonight y’all, a sign of new things to come. 💙

This coming from the man who’s literally pushing red states to gerrymander Democrats into oblivion so he doesn’t get demolished at midterms. Prop 50 is merely self-defense.

If you’re in line to vote, stay in line! Just GET IN LINE before the polls close & your vote will be counted! 💙💙💙 Virginia 7pm California 8pm Jersey 8pm Pennsylvania 8pm NYC 9pm

Today I made HERstory!! it’s a bittersweet anniversary this November, but I’m so proud I voted for the first female governor in the state of Virginia & I’m looking forward wins in CA, NJ, PA & NYC! A little teary-eyed with Courier-Dogwood team as we close this chapter & look forward to midterms! 💙

Save your lectures. If my dad helped slowly strangle what precious bits of democracy remained of our Republic, ushering in one of the most dangerous eras of authoritarian fascism—harming people on a global scale—I would expect people to relish his death with fervor. And confetti.

“It’s not like Winsome Earle Sears is protecting us from government overreach, SHE IS THE GOVERNMENT OVERREACH!!” The entire Republican Party is beholden to the ppl with yacht money. They do not care about you.

Teen Vogue’s political coverage was a light in the dreary dregs of journalism that was & still is the 2020’s. Someone is either incredibly obtuse or got paid an obscene amount of money to pretend its absence won’t matter.

Voting concludes Tuesday in New Jersey's gubernatorial race. Follow the live results. n.pr/4qVIzl0

The Trump administration COULD fund the entire SNAP program in November They decided to only PARTIALLY fund the program-and only after a court said they must Why partly fund it Because they think it’ll force Democrats to end the shutdown They’re starving Americans to play political games

Oh heyyyyyy Virginia Dems, welcome to the party 🥳🥳 Redistrict to save America
