Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

cyndi lauper's conga drummer, hello,,

Remember when Biden dropped the COVID isolation guidelines down to just 5 days, not because of any actual medical science, but because the Delta CEO asked him to? Our lives have always been meaningless to establishment Dems compared to the profits of the donor class.

Fun!

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

poor children literally went without food. people lost jobs and went into debt and got evicted and sold their cars they need to get to work. people who otherwise would have lived longer will die younger because of the stress of this. people did things for money they can't undo

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

truly surprised zevon wasn't already in

The maximalist, cringiest college dormroom bonghit guy version of Dems being controlled opposition is absolutely winning, that guy is utterly vindicated

Republicans took away your healthcare. We refused to fight back. Please rush us $3

lmao remember when clinton picked kaine as her running mate

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I understand what the roll call vote totals are going to be but if the other Democrats had a problem with this deal they would be withholding unanimous consent on advancing it and loudly naming their colleagues as traitors.

And fuck them all unless they do

‘But I’m on employer health insurance not a marketplace plan or Medicaid’ my friend when providers/facilities/etc aren’t getting these reimbursements they will radically reduce services or close.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

sometimes I save things from tumblr when I'm half asleep which doesn't quite explain this, but

I will admit that this is the single funniest outcome of us doing a Keep Politics Out Of Sports after a guy kneeled

Hey asshole @schumer.senate.gov

memories, phew

nemmeno brava all'unica cosa per cui son fatta

past jac: that's the lead talking girl stop having lead water nostalgia

also: I am THIRTY SIX and I only got employer coverage three years ago and I get to worry about losing it every semester. before that every job I had made sure to keep our hours below mandates so they wouldn't have to cover us, that's what a post-2009 economy looked like and it'll be worse now

seeing all the ACA stuff has me both extremely grateful I finally got employer coverage for the first time in my life 3 years ago and thinking about the 6 years I went with no insurance because while making less than $1000 month the ACA plan I was on raised rates 30% and I simply couldn't afford it

What if instead we give donald more lunch money

Because they aren't working for who they say they are

Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel

🔜

oh no the man personally responsible for starving half a million people says the fucked up foot lady was mean to him :(

If the political opposition doesn’t put these ICE & CBP institutional criminals in prison, annihilate their budgets, purge the datasets and repeal their authorities, this will keep happening. And that opposition will reveal itself as a false, controlled opposition that is no less predatory on people

I did a little series of 9 Solstice gouache paintings and they’re available on my Etsy shop. They’re all original gouache paintings, not prints, 2.5”x3.5” ACEOs. www.etsy.com/shop/VVitcha...

Starting to think I might not even be going to my cousin's wedding in December at this rate

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
