when you wear a size 9.5 shoe but the 8.5 was on sale

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year. I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

The Lexus ad where they show a family over the years & their car goes from a reasonable sedan to a bloated SUV with oversized hood by the end. It accidentally tells the story of why pedestrian fatalities have been rising.

You have to send this link to everyone you know who voted I Seattle: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/... It takes like 30 seconds to make sure your vote was counted. Folks on here have all seen this probably, but your friends and family might not have!

The actual amount of #IEEFA tariffs likely to be refunded, in the event of a full reversal: $115b to $145b, says a Goldman estimate.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry. He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

TO REITERATE: THE POINT OF MY THREAD IS *NOT* TO EXCUSE THE DEMS WHO VOTED FOR THE CR TONIGHT. I opposed them doing so. I called both of my Senators and am thankful that neither of them did. The point of my thread is simply to CORRECT MISINFORMATION about the ACA tax credits.

The Dem vote is so confusing. Worth reading this explanation so you get more background info. I don’t know what to think. But messaging has been a mess on this tonight.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

I think this is the question Democrats are gonna get over and over: if you just handed over your main demand in the end, why cause a painful shutdown at all? Governing is more than politics, but wild to see this group of Dems arguably toss the whole party under the bus, *politically* speaking.

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.

I’m leaving this post up for transparency’s sake, but I just got some clarification on the federal RIF reinstatement/moratorium. It only stops them from re-firing people until January of 2026 - I thought it was also a year. So yeah, there’s not much of a win here. Apologies for the misread.

Donald Trump claims to be "Pro-Life." Indeed, he was the first sitting president to attend the annual March for Life. But this didn't stop him from conspiring with Elon Musk to kill 600,000 (so far) people, 2/3 of them children. You see, when Elon says we need more children he means *white* ones.

Verify online that your ballot has been received and counted! ‼️ info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Check your ballot. It’s possible that it’s been challenged due to leaving the ballot envelope unsigned or a signature mismatch. You can cure that with King County Elections so your ballot is counted! kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

Maybe you forgot to sign your ballot, or your signature didn't quite match the one on record. If you received a signature challenge letter and have questions, we have a web page for that. kce.wiki/SignatureCha... Folks who need to resolve a signature challenge have until 4:30 pm on November 24.

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

according to supreme court testimony, donald's new tariffs have brought in around $90 billion. trump has repeatedly asserted that it's TRILLIONS. that means: (a) donald's regime is lying to him, or (2) they've lied to the court & pilfered trillions. which is it? THIS IS ACTUALLY A BIG DEAL.

I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry. Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month. This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.

I think it’s only fair that we get a “Have men ruined society?” op-ed

Mamdani is actually a centrist to the rest of the sane world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Beware. "The center will not protect children. It will only serve to make it easier to deport them," Lukens said. abcnews.go.com/US/ice-open-...

Walmart just announced that Thanksgiving Dinner will be almost 30% smaller this year under economic moron donald trump. UNAFFORDABLE and PEOPLE LEFT HUNGRY are Republican strongholds. Hopefully, Democrats will use these irrefutable facts.

Dems walkin up on the joint like…

Folks can update their signature on file with King County elections, too, in case they've forgotten how they sign or life has changed stuff for them. I helped someone with ALS cure their ballot in 2024. They can't write easily anymore so their signature is much different.

Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template

NPR REPORTER: “I’m in Gaza for the first time after two years of war, looking at this devastation up close… We are here accompanied by Israeli troops — more than two years after the war began, Israel is not allowing journalists into Gaza independently.”

It's worth checking with King County Elections that your ballot was counted. If not, you can probably cure ballot so that it is counted. info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Mamdani and Democrats Score Big Wins & Conservatives Melt Down youtu.be/lMYgU4-FwFg

He is doing the outside now.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Do you know who is in this video? Hint: He had a great Monday night. (I love Mamdani in this!) youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...

Recognize this guy? Hint: He had a great night in NYC. (I love him in this video.) youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...

🍂 Seattle is Beautiful (taken this afternoon)

The twenty minutes of this speech made me realize that over the past 10 months, I seem to have forgotten how it feels to not be in a constant state of some version of embarrassment/shame/terror?! It’s pretty great.

He's the number one spice!! youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

62% of first time voters in New York City cast their vote for Zohran Mamdani, and over 2 million have turned out to vote. There’s a lesson here, DC Establishment. America is ready for new blood. New energy. We’re done with the multi- generational politicians and career electeds. 💙

AOC: "We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country. And we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration."

AOC: I think what this night is starting and shaping up to represent is that Americans everywhere are not going to be scared. We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating the rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country.
