James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Senate Republicans want to pass a backdoor abortion ban through the ACA by blocking PRIVATE insurance from covering abortion care. This is not about Hyde—it's an unprecedented NEW attack on abortion access. Not on my watch.

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote to either save the ACA tax credits or not. This will determine if premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans. Pay attention to see if Republicans vote to help or hurt regular Americans.

THIS IS GREAT. TREMENDOUS REALLY. ITS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL THING. IT’S HUGE REALLY. THERE WILL BE NO CROOKED AND ILLEGAL SHENANIGANS. JUST A BIG BEAUTIFUL BUILDING IN HIS NAME.

Energy systems are at the heart of climate change, technology, and the future of how we live, but they’re far more complex than most people realise. This is a great explainer video by @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social that helps to make sense of the energy system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCXG...

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

This is correct. The 80s didn’t end until Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Instead of giving the money to charity, Musk likely “donated” the money for tax-dodging purposes. (Source: Truthout, 13 december 2022) truthout.org/articles/mus...

Bless the Epstein survivors for speaking out! Justice! NOW!

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Get it! People are fed up with the lies that have been floating the party for so long…

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Yes! This! They are essentially scammers!

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Oh whoa!

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

We don’t negotiate for empty promises & an IOU Republicans never intend to deliver on. People need affordable healthcare. Please contact Senate Democrats and tell them to hold the line. @kaine.senate.gov

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."

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.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

I have a very bad feeling about this...

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Reagan's "a time for choosing" speech seems highly relevant now. Canada is airing Reagan's words, and the Republican party under Trump adores Reagan.Tariffs can't be both good and bad. Sounds like it is a time for choosing. Reagan or Trump.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Very concerning, if true.

This makes me sick. That’s our House, our history. The fact that it happened today stinks of retribution for Saturday.
