“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Americans may receive a tariff “dividend” of at least $2,000 could come via the tax cuts passed in his signature economic policy bill earlier this year.” -Yahoo Finance So, nothing. 😳 😂 🤡

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

This is Not a 'government' its an effing Crime Syndicate. ---

The corruption never ends

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

The Heritage Foundation, the intellectual engine behind the 922-page blueprint that has become the key policy manual for Donald Trump’s second term, is partnering with a constellation of European nationalist far-right movements to export its playbook.

#ETTD 🤷‍♀️

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

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.

Remember these bastards & IF they aren't retiring & IF they attempt to run for reelection.... TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

“This was a very very bad vote”

It's time to discuss bleak climate change realities www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

apple.news/A37nUny1IRU-... #SI has all the booing clips from the DET @ WAS game. Lots of middle fingers too. Thanking & congratulating the new military service members whose swearing in was ruined by the likes of this hated dictator.

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.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Hey Chuck, don’t fucking cave.

President Donald Trump was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Commanders ga— … oh, wait wrong clip

@shaheen.senate.gov NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! DO NOT CAVE…YOU ARE IN IN EFFECT GIVING IN AND TRUMP A WIN…OUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE GONE, OUR DEMOCRACY WILL BE DESTROYED WHEN THE FILIBUSTER IS GONE AND HE HAS EVERYTHING HE WANTS PASSED BY HIS SPINELESS REPUBLICANS! NEVER WILL WE DONATE TO YOU AGAIN…EVER!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SENATOR MARKEY!!!!!!

CNBC Daily Open: Too early to fret about tech pullback?

Durbin‘s office offers only a recording that says it’s not fielding calls or taking messages outside of “business hours.” What a waste of a Senate seat he’s been during this fascist assault on our country.

Sanders trying to delay the vote

Yeah, but that was before air travel was in trouble and the senators were personally affected, see

Seems Tim Kaine learned nothing from last Tuesday and is now on the cave crew.

The Senate deal to end the shutdown includes a promise from Sen. John Thune to hold a Dec. vote on extending ACA premium subsidies before they expire and Democrats get to write the bill that’s voted on. I don’t trust promises and there’s no guarantee the extension bill passes.

I want a list of dems who voted for this. Every one if them deserves what's coming their way.

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

Seriously, this was a smart deal for the coward caucus in @democrats.senate.gov to make because they're about to make more lifelong enemies than they've ever had before.
