The legislation, expected to become law this week and end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, looks like it would allow the aggrieved senators to sue the government for at least $500,000 in statutory damages. www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

Brexit benefits. Thanks to David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Farage, and their right wing American backers, the UK is poorer, more partisan and nose diving into it's first far right government 🤦🤦🤦

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

Welp!

Today I stood with peace activists outside Westminster Magistrates Court, in solidarity with those who have been arrested for protesting against genocide. The proscription of Palestine Action is truly shameful. We must defend the right to demonstrate!

I am SO SICK of Trump and his MAGA losers vilifying SNAP recipients The people that get SNAP are generally hardworking Americans that aren’t paid nearly enough by companies like Amazon and Walmart And THESE are the people whose benefits they eliminate While giving billionaires more tax breaks

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings." They did their part. The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday. They did their part. 8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night. They did not do their part.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

This is brutal. Fox forgot to edit all the booing at the Washington Commanders game.

Sanders: 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.

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.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

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.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

No health care, no deal.

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

On this day in 1995, Nigeria's military regime executed nine environmental activists. Britain rejected Nelson Mandela’s personal appeal to impose sanctions on Nigeria after the executions as it wanted to protect oil company Shell’s commercial interests👇 www.declassifieduk.org/revealed-bri...

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?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Climate disasters displaced 250 million people in past 10 years, UN report finds #climatecrisis #COP30 Story by @ninalakhani.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tonight was a very bad night.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

not only was Prescott’s former employer Hanover Communications a Tory outfit, it also represented Sky News for many years….

Note that still in post at the BBC is Robbie Gibb, who helped set up GB News, and John McAndrew, formerly director of news and programmes at GB News.

Robbie Gibb who cancelled a BBC investigation into Farage's Leave dot EU campaign shortly before the EU Ref Arron Banks thanked him for it "Robbie Gibb is being quite helpful and says he’s trying to hose it down." - @channel4news.bsky.social in 2019
