A marketplace no one can afford is not a marketplace at all.

In 2017, three Republicans stood up to their caucus to preserve landmark ACA legislation for millions of Americans. Tonight, eight democrats killed it.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read. Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work. He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Until the sun burns out

The only people who hate progressives more than the GOP are establishment Democrats

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

it’s cute that they think we’ll forget if they work together to keep everyone’s hands off it who is up for re-election anytime soon that just reinforces that this was a strategy more of them agreed on than the ones who vote yes. nuke them all from orbit

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

"Well what were they supposed to do? Fight? Against their enemies? Do you even hear yourself?"

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Dem leadership said “oh, can’t have enthusiasm! What’s that, even Republicans are finally coming to our side and abandoning MAGA? Better fuck it all up!” I hate it here.

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

Just a reminder that Mary Magdalene was a sex worker.

This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

going to also give a shout-out to dv shelters, healthcare hikes and snap shutoff almost certainly means a spike in domestic violencee, they’re also hurting from lack of federal grants from the shutdown

Excellent exposé on Watson’s abhorrent racism but little on the oft-skipped Rosalind Franklin who, without her expertise in crystal photography, he wouldn’t have understood the double helix of DNA. She is REGULARLY left out of the discovery and Watson’s bigotry is a reason!

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Watching the new Del Toro revision of FRANKENSTEIN and honestly I just gasped at the gorgeous burled walnut grand piano in the parlor and you need to see this beautiful instrument. (No one made pianos like the Germans in the 1800s. No one.)

I'm struck by how many Chicagoans have seemingly felt compelled to write and share reflections on "this is what it feels like in Chicago right now". We know we're going through something awful together and we want the world to understand it. Threading several of these pieces below.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Okay you know how there are those videos of dogs getting on busses for day care? Can I just like, sign up? Can I be on the bus with the dogs? Can I be the harness clicker into the seat person or treat giver, the GOOD PUP deliverer? I’m 2000% sure that will fix me, will work for free??

There is loot, a gemstone and a dwarven warhammer in there. Just have to beat the beasts. And they are absolutely dropping from the ceiling.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

I'm prepared for the fallout for this monstrous take. I fucking HATE the music of an ice cream truck. It makes me want to rip my fingernails off. Pied Piper trapping... If I ever ran for office, it would be on two platforms: all arts teachers should be trans & silent ice cream trucks.

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

ugh what the fuck is this taste? is this my own medicine? you know i hate that

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory. It's really beautiful and cathartic. So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate. And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Newsom can suck eggs but on this he’s right.

DOES THE GOVERNOR HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY????!!!!!

Unabashedly believing in democracy tonight, cringingly loving The People & progress, embarrassed yet determined to worship at the altar of loving my fellow man, believing we all deserve life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness sans capitalistic insatiable hunger/depravity, amen.

Man, do you know what rules? Actually loving other people, reminding us that we deserve a government that cares for us, and inspiring us to meet our neighbors.

This is why you can't succumb to nihilism. I know it's SO fucking hard, but that's what the fash want: for us to give up. Fuck them, it's not over

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

(Screaming)* *(happily)

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!!

folks we still got prop 50 coming in CA if you’re in line to lib out stay in line
