gary peters’ ex-wife was my high school german teacher and I’m so glad she dumped his ass

None of these people should ever know peace.

I’ve said this before but I couldn’t get insurance when I was pregnant due to my pre existing condition…pregnancy.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Republicans took away your healthcare. We refused to fight back. Please rush us $3

I got a little together to help Juno and her family. Can you?

Folks are here doing work because it MATTERS

WE HAD SUCH A GOOD DAY TUESDAY WHY ARE YOU ALL LIKE THIS

If you put a gun to my head and asked me to guess who Katy Perry is dating, I would guess thousands or possibly even tens of thousands of names before I get to Justin Trudeau

I mean keep terrifying them until they are in cspan voting, y'all

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law! That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

I’m exhausted and inspired but also just done I’m so sick of people thinking that they have a right to never have anyone mad at them , or that it’s acceptable to harm people because their “scared” when what they mean is “Someone I need to be below me doesn’t agree”

“I’m just trying to help/ keep the peace / protect my peace” Okay and you made you every decision based on deciding that you only feel secure if you have the power of destruction over others or if you’re the good one That’s a form of abuse congrats !

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

I don't think they even deserve to be called "centrists." That implies a point of reasonable compromise. Instead they are vichy collaborators. They aren't in the center; they are on the right.

never occurred to any dem at all including dems from illnois to attempt to condition reopening the government on ending the military occupation of chicago btw don't think we didn't notice that

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

He doesn't need to be a yes so long as enough others do it for him. He's done this shit before: organizing a capitulation then voting no once he knows it's going to pass.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

He's already declaring victory. Elected Dems, you are so stupid.

John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

resign is a polite word for what he should do

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

It's not even this. The Democrats know that there is no football.

during reconstruction II we are abolishing the senate

“We can’t stand up for trans rights because we have to focus on health care” and then doesn’t focus on healthcare

This is a morally repugnant betrayal of House Democrats, of Democratic activists, and of Democratic state electeds who have been fighting this out in the court of public opinion. We trusted Senate Dems to negotiate. They fucked us. Just fucking enraging.

It would have been better to simply cave on day one than do this. how can you ask anyone to suffer through a shutdown ever again, if you can deliver *nothing*?

S I G N I F I C A N T L Y

between chuck and amy schumer that is one bitch ass talentless family. just mega goofy dumbasses.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

;alskdnf;adsifjadsfadf THEN GET YOUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER YOU SHIT ARE YOU A LEADER??????????

November 1st

schumer: don't worry, I've got us right where they want us

Hi @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social! If you vote for this horrible deal, I will spend the next 4 years making sure you are both primaried and retired from the US Senate.

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands. (202) 224-3121

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

"This fuckin' bullshit, Chuck" -Joe and Eileen Bailey

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

I will admit that this is the single funniest outcome of us doing a Keep Politics Out Of Sports after a guy kneeled

what gets me is how unnecessary so much of the hate in people’s hearts is, like embarrassingly dangerous levels of unnecessary, it’s ridiculous, it’s offensive, it’s disgusting

Ok I didn't get any tips but I can't keep this from you Entering my top era, just need someone to try out on 😈 #top #strapon #strap-on #pegging #trans #mtf

Family Guy was invented because Seth MacFarlane wanted to do big musical Broadway numbers and sing like Bing Crosby while bullying marginalized groups

my bar for Jeffries is pretty low so I think this means something
