The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

So basically... Fetterman - Fetterman Shaheen - Retiring Durbin - Retiring King - Indy, likely Retiring Cortez Masto - WTF? Rosen - WTF? Hassan - WTF? Kaine - WTF?

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.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Agree. Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them." This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Please put the Working Families Party in your mouth. They did wonders with Mamdani’s campaign. We saw how quickly his rise to collective awareness was in less than six months. We can do that too, people. Everywhere. We hold the power. Screw Establishment Dems. Their time is over. It’s our turn now.

Ligeia, our little gargoyle.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes. Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

"We have to agree to cancel midterm elections because people need paychecks." "We have to agree to the camps because people don't have paychecks." And if that's where we are, the political process is already a lost battle. That's why Democrats caving is bad.

I will attend that protest.

Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.

To me among the most infuriating parts about the healthcare debate and ACA credits is this would not be an issue if we were like every developed country on Earth and GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE AS A HUMAN RIGHT. We'd pay half per capita what we're paying now, have more coverage, & longer life expectancy.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored. That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

Can't believe we got a monsterfucker movie from- *Checks notes* -renowned monster-fuck movie director Guillermo del Toro

Reviewer: I know it's technically true to the book, but I'm not sure audiences are ready for a sexy Frankenstein's monster. Me, a denizen of the monster-fucker internet: lol. lmao, even.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

My favorite part of Frankenstein (2025) was William saying, "YOU are the monster, Victor," just in case the audience hadn't been paying attention for the last two hours.

If it goes up, don’t cross the picket line. Collective action is the only way we ever get things done.

Partner sent me a cool new piano piece

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

People always say "go big or go home," but I'm an introvert, man. I fucking LOVE going home. Why aren't we home already?

It's national black cat day, apparently, so please behold Triscuit. He's 18 years old.

Remind me what usually happens when a right-wing populist builds an extrajudicial, unconstitutional private army

I know we can mention this every day but if Elon responded to an electrician working on the Arby’s sign at the Arby’s he manages by being like “what’re you GAY?” the people at Arby’s would go “well clearly this idiot can’t be trusted with the Arby’s brand”

if I had a Marvel trading card

Yes queen crash out lets goooo

another tough day at the office

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

Ok, yes, Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia did say, “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it." But, the kid was just 29 years old. Barely able to drive or buy a beer. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Saved you a click: His response was "That's a reasonable decision"

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Them: “no one had pronouns in my day” A TV Character from their day:

Devasted to hear about Rob Wieland. He was always so kind to me. He was far too young. My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed.

Ok YouTube flipped the "save to watch later" with the "don't recommend channel anymore" spot and it's chaos over here.

So Disney did crossbranding with Grok and other Musk junk for Tron Ares AND pulled in Mr Beast to market to the youths? And it’s bombing? Thank you, universe! Scrumptious!

Certain celebrity deaths are harder to process than others because the person in question was so full of life and creativity and originality that you just assume it's never going to end.

It's so funny to be able to say "according to a court of law Drake got bodied by 'Not Like Us'"

So...just casually soft early launching something here for people who have been waiting. I am still fixing my website after it broke so this is a soft launch. There is a $3 minimum for each but it is pay what you want and I hope this helps you tell new and exciting stories: honeyanddice.itch.io/mmm

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

Oh and it's not even as easy as "make a new account." They blocked my email, my recovery email, my Facebook, my phone number, and my fucking phone itself apparently. There is literally NO WAY to speak to a human person about any of this, either. I'm so over it.

I'm so tired. I barely use TikTok. Almost a year ago, my account was hacked. Apparently the hacker posted really unspeakable things and now my account is permanently banned. I've tried contacting TikTok's support for ALMOST A YEAR about this and all I get are bot messages.

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

“What’s your barber name?” is crazy 😂
