No one who is in America illegally is on the ACA. Americans who are on the ACA are going to have their health care taken away because Trump and/or his party have been trying to repeal it for 15 years!

"We can never unring the bell that has been rung," @judgeluttig.bsky.social says of Trump's impact on the nation. "Never again will the world view America in the same way that it has for the past 250 years."

Yes. The country would be in much better shape if Harris were president. Not even debatable at this point.

People need to go to prison for these abuses. Starting with the guy in the Oval Office.

I'm one of 'em. Going from $684/mo to $1,569. That's just for ME.

So the GOP had no health care plan for 15 years (their plan has always been to repeal the ACA and replace it with nothing). But now some Republican politicians and pollsters have warned them that they’d better at least say they have a plan. And presto! thehill.com/homenews/sen...

I love my city-dweller friends, but one thing legacy news & cable networks have done rather successfully is convince you rural, small-town, & ex-urban America is just a slowly fading Rockwell print. The demographic changes & class realignments of these places make them politically up for grabs.

Question for Dems: Which Trump policies are NOT in Project 2025? If you can't think of several immediately, maybe should be campaigning harder against it than against Trump in 2026 After all, Trump put author Vought in charge of gov spending and advocate Bessent in charge of our economy

Dems can't outspend - no match for Musk, Thiel, Koch,... But can out organize. Biden's secret weapon - Kamala not enough time GOP targeted advertising at full tilt months before she started System rigged for incumbents - Trump the incumbent once Biden left House: start in Feb to win in Nov 1/3

This is what’s happening to immigrants doing it “the right way” in Trump’s America. We have been told about it happening here in Tennessee. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Let’s be SUPER CLEAR: Taxpayer 💰 funded 💰 Christian 💰 schools 💰 has ALWAYS 💰 been 💰 the 💰 #1 💰 goal 💰 of 💰 @GovBillLee’s 💰 privatization 💰 Vouchers/Charters 💰 agenda: tennesseelookout.com/2025/12/05/s... (Again: Betsy Devos said it out loud —> x.com/thetnholler/...)

Congress used to have the power of the purse and the power to declare war.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3200 workers to “right-size” its business. The company is one of four giants that control 80% of meat processing. This corporate monopoly is great for Tyson’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else. Watch:

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them. Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded. “Make America Healthy Again.”

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION ALERT🚨 Tennessee's 7th U.S. Congressional district Nashville and western surrounding areas Early voting available NOW Election Dec 2nd Vote to elect Aftyn Behn U.S. Congress so she can fight for folks' affordability and healthcare instead of a _bought_ GOP man the assignment:

@aftynbehn.bsky.social Rural hears you. Know they're paying for GOP's BBB. Suggest speech from Wayne Med Ctr (on BBB hit list): "Rural TN has been taken for granted for too long! I've heard you, and if elected DC will hear you too." Nashville decided weeks ago. A little rural is all you need.

@aftynbehn.bsky.social The issues in this video need to be front and center, IMHO youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA

@aftynbehn.bsky.social Message that may help: "Tennesseans value family, value tradition - AND THE GOP USES THAT AGAINST US. Used it to put a BBB bullseye on TN's back. TN Rural Healthcare collapse, TN rural poverty to more than double by BBB's end. I'm running to keep that from happening."

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.” This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

ACA subsidy expirations is STEP 2 of about 15 in the BBB All part of Proj2025 = Tariffs, ICE, DOGE,... All to pay for BBB tax cuts for the wealthy THE GOAL IS PEASANTRY Because permanent wealth only if permanent poverty "FROM THE RURAL TO THE RICH" That's Proj2025 youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

Looks like GOP wants a quick fix of a repair to a patch of a ... in healthcare. Won't work. And killing ACA subsidies is only "step 2" of about 15 steps the BBB applies to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. And not the worst one!!! youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA

“These rich, powerful old men are like 11-year-old boys talking about the crush that they have, and they're asking Jeffrey Epstein for advice about this.” Tim Miller and Alex Wagner discuss how the Epstein emails reveal how sex, power, and insecurity warped the elite.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.

They weren’t taking the houses, they were building the houses.

15?????? Good lord they have completely lost their moral bearings.

Why would you have a meeting about the Epstein Files … in the SITUATION ROOM????

Bessent just said "opportunity to make allies in Latin America - named names. BUT DID NOT MENTION BRAZIL, THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO OVERCOME CENTURIES OF ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION OF THE RURAL POOR!

@democrats.senate.gov To "Centrists:" Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? Why would they negotiate in good faith after you hand them your only card if they won't negotiate now while you have it in hand? Nice people? Trump always true to his word? Think about it!

@democrats.senate.gov Dems get a vote on ACA. It will fail. GOP knew enough DEMs would eventually cave Now the GOP pins all the blame on you, thus allowing them to amplify their efforts ACA repeal = DEM fault for not saying "No!" ICE = DEM fault for not saying "No!" See how this works yet?

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Share with GOP ( not on bsky ): Our children and grandchildren love the America that was handed off to you But they already despise the America you are handing back to them

Few legislative acts have been as impactful and bipartisanly successful as the 5 year renewals of the farm bill. Red state senators are trying to kill it, along with the lives and livelihoods of many of their constituents

@democrats.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov CANT PLAY THEIR GAME! Biden kept Trump Tariffs on China. HUGE MISTAKE! Now GOP counting on you to look the other way as they plunge YOUR rural red constituents into permanent poverty and political impotence. Con men rip off those who trust them!

@democrats.senate.gov REMEMBER! PROJ2025 HAD 2 YEARS TO FACTOR IN DEM DISTASTE FOR RURAL RED AMERICA. Now they're playing you. Gilded Age in small town USA: "Work sixteen hours and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt" This time, Potter has a plan for taking over Bedford Falls.

@democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov No farm bill. No ACA subsidies. No ACA at all re SC Graham. No SNAP. BBB assault on safety net. Rural services slashed. See a theme here? GOP targeting rural red for peasantry assuming if enough pressure you'll let them. youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA

@schumer.senate.gov Notice: Chuck Grassley and other farm state Senators are killing off the 5 year farm bill cycle. In essence, they are destroying the lives and livelihoods of their own constituents

Republicans packed the North Carolina Board of Elections with a slew of additional party insiders, marking the latest sign of the GOP’s partisan takeover of the board as it prepares for next year’s elections. https://bit.ly/4p0sVTz

Schumer solution a no-go because THE SHUTDOWN WON'T END UNTIL THE HOUSE RETURNS! Ignore Fox Noise THE SHUTDOWN CAN'T END UNTIL THE HOUSE RETURNS! Historians as soon as next year will all agree on the obvious now: THE SHUTDOWN WAS NEVER GOING TO END UNTIL AFTER THE HOUSE WAS BACK IN SESSION!

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

🔥 @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social : “I will not raise my children to think Trump is an acceptable American leader… he’s a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist-in-chief, and the worst president in our nation’s history.”

Not enough people are talking about how Trump and the Republicans are trying to privatize the Tennessee Valley Authority, and how Right-wing megadonor Lee Beaman is a Trump nominee for one of the vacant board seats. www.bizjournals.com/nashville/ne...

No one who reads the Bible, believes it and understands it will come away from that text the impression that Trump has anything to do with God or godliness.

Reminder: The people @GovBillLee is letting go hungry are largely in rural areas. tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/30/a...

Many in MAGA want it both ways - God and mammon. Not new. But what if they serve God and only "loosely partner" with a divinely appointed agent of mammon as a Cyrus to rescue God's people? Is 45:13 => Cyrus is Christ-like and rejects mammon "Trump as Cyrus" is choosing mammon Gimmicks don't work

CNN: “Trump said he ‘loved’ America’s cattle ranchers. But those farmers, who overwhelmingly supported the president in the 2024 election, say they aren’t feeling the love right now.” www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/e...
