Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

[chaotic animal screams of delight]

Vichy Democrats. Nazi collaborators.

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?

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full* "I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Because voting "no" while letting others vote "yes" is strategic misdirection that lets Democrats fold every hand while claiming that only some of them fold some hands. No more tricks. Clear the decks. Put in a new batch.

Do you know how hard it is to politically radicalize someone who joined a website to reply with the cry laughing emoji to the Trix cereal rabbit?

"Until our flights home might be affected." Time to step aside, Chuck.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

so in addition to “upside down flag in pfp” & ally in bio & “my last 10 posts are ‘release the epstein files’” we’re getting close to “replies with ‘follow the money’ or ‘red or blue they don’t work for you’” as a block trigger. as if i am a wee naïf who hadn’t noticed america’s failings til 2025.

The fact him or one of his staffers would post this on *this* platform is yet another sign of how unfit this man is to do anything other than retire.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

If the Democrats aren’t going to fight for the bare minimum for you, then we need to aim for the moon and the stars and go for what we really want. Universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Childcare. Free university education or free trade school.

Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

I am not done fighting. I do need to get a good night's sleep. But please know that I am not done fighting for healthcare. I understand that many of you — many of US — die without medical care. patreon.com/mattbc is the best place to follow my work, it's not paywalled, a free account is fine.

Chuck Schumer? Would love to.

Newsom is a bad person and I’ll leave that bubble empty before I vote for him, but if he spends all day on tv tomorrow calling Schumer a coward and it normalizes the call to primary him among lowish information democrats, godspeed.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is what I kept thinking when walking home earlier. Democrats need to show voters that having Democratic control of the Senate makes a difference. Cutting this deal only tells voters that it doesn't.

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

if there was a national day of cancelling your party membership over healthcare just to put the fear of god into them with some hard numbers, that’s where I think I’m at now it’s been coming on for awhile now, I simply don’t feel represented by this party even on the things they claim as priorities

This landlord is nasty as hell. If you can please share and or donate. Everyone deserves a roof over their heads.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

the House is just not having it. I don't understand the senate cave caucus. I guess they just suck?

This was also my life as a freelance writer - my back was fucked in an accident when I was in my 20s and I have several conditions, all of them "pre-existing," so I spent ten years with no health insurancce, getting meds only when I could get them for free. I'm still paying the price today.

I would not say the voicemails I just left for Wyden and Merkley were particularly charming or articulate but I do think my panic was clear, as a freelancer who only has access to healthcare at all because the ACA exists

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

I wanna see 3k by new years. It's just over 50 people. I'm gonna try my best!

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

Somebody needs to tell @schumer.senate.gov to stop playing with his imaginary friends and listen to real voters. The Baileys aren't real, but people missing their SNAP payments and about to have their insurance doubling or more? They're real. Don't cave, Chuck. For once in your life, don't cave.

I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

automated content moderation is impossible to get right or even do reasonably well. women *especially* get the worst of this when it comes to automated image analysis because of the ways those systems are implicitly biased to associate female bodies with sex basically any time a curve can be seen.

I told Schumer and Gillibrand that a "promise" of a vote on ACA funding from Rs is worth NOTHING. You cannot trust them on ANYTHING. No deal without funding the ACA. If they cut this deal and ACA funding is cut, they will be responsible for the deaths of people who can no longer afford insurance.

Schiff and Padilla, the two senators from California, represent 12% of the US population. It's beyond unacceptable that we can't leave voicemails with them whenever we want.

i'm gonna pick this movie down to the bone eventually but considering the time period, this line made me assume that the frankenstein family in this adaptation either owned or were benefactors for slave plantations and i think that adds a whole other messy layer to victor as a person

these stupid assholes got me leaving angry voicemails for senators at 4:30pm on a sunday. the only thing i want to do at 4:30pm on a sunday is serenely contemplate my evening sandwich

If Schumer were secretly working behind the scenes to help Trump hurt the American people, what would he do differently?

Ok so what you need to know about these is that: BLUESKY RESETS YOUR MODERATION SETTINGS PERIODICALLY WITHOUT TELLING YOU. YOU HAVE TO CHECK ANYTIME THE SITE UPDATES BASICALLY.

niche but delicious nightmare scenario just dropped

Its cool that a lot of senators just straight up dont understand how healthcare works in this country

honestly now that the tech is here and embedded this is a near best case scenario. because learning something like this feeds the will and all that remains to be done is instruction the opposite problem is much more difficult
