A little louder for the people in the back: REPUBLICANS AREN’T NEGOTIATING, THEY’RE BULLSHITTING. THEY WONT ENFORCE *ANY* BUDGET BC THEY REFUSE TO HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE. DON’T NEGOTIATE UNTIL THEY DO THEIR JOB AND REMOVE HIM FOR HIS MULTITUDE OF HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

I've checked, @hassan.senate.gov, and CareFirst doesn't allow me to pay my health insurance premium with "shame"

do the water fountains in the Senate building just run straight lead

The GOP isn't going to vote for ACA subsidies. Thinking otherwise is dumb.

She's a Pick Me. Internalized misogyny; she's "not like other girls;" men are rational; men are truth-seeking; men decide what rational and truth are, based on themselves, which is rational truth; she's the only woman who is rational and truth-seeking. I'm not sure why circular logic is rational.🤷‍♀️🙄

Keep in mind: Peter Thiel proudly refuses to invest in businesses that have even 1 female executive because that's proof of "bad decision-making." He believes that humanity is doomed because of empathy. He's a rich white bigot who thinks that makes him a "superior manly man." So he's an idiot.

Oh, he's a "high testosterone male," by which he means a bigot with an anger management problem who is incapable of taking "no" for an answer. He's right that the Democrats have nothing for men like him. We have plenty for men who aren't like him. He is not "all men."

The Trump administration is using hunger to try extort the Democrats. He's doing everything he can to ensure that SNAP recipients don't get food money. This is 100% on the GOP.

i would like it if people would stop shitting their pants every time axios published a quote from an anonymous republican senate aide, if i am being honest

This is why they hoard guns: not to fight an oppressive government, but to protect them from brown people. They yell that liberals live in fear because we don't own guns, but I don't do either. If you need guns to "feel safe," you are living in fear.

This is what pisses me off the most about low taxes for people who can actually afford to pay taxes/Trickle Down Economics: government spending drives the economy. Low taxes for the rich result in overseas tax-haven hoarding. Government spending creates jobs; overseas hoarding does not. 🤷‍♀️

Quite frankly, free public transit requires that employers contribute towards the transportation of their workers at a per worker rate lower than the workers currently pay. That's a cost of living adjustment that offsets low wages and RTO policies. Why wouldn't politicians support that?

Traitor to his profession, Senator (Doctor) Bill Cassidy, supports ending the ACA and switching to Health Savings Accounts, which do not cover prolonged or chronic illness. He knows they don't. He hates disabled people, apparently.

US Government declares President Trump’s mortuary cosmetologist to be an essential worker during shutdown.

The US is committing far more human rights abuses than are alleged in South Africa, and the SA allegations are untrue.

Mamdani is going to implement Charcuterie Law. Everyone must nibble.

Leagecy media is trash. One can blame the corporate overlords/owners but why stop there? Why not blame the trash “journalists” who do this shit for money? Fuck. Them. All. Ebony told ya’ll not to let them use us like this.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago. Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months. Disabled lives matter too!

Too many news outlets & pols framing Tuesday as affordability *Instead Of* "woke"/"DEI"/whatever the fuck when Mamdani & Sherrill both *explicitly* embraced trans & other LGBTQ+ rights, VA solidly rejected Republicans' virulent anti-trans attack adz, & a PA elected their 1st trans mayor. Be serious.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

Everyone commenting that nobody wants this — nor does it address the reasons people no longer shop there — is obviously right! But I wanna point out another thing: This very nefariously transfers ~blame~ for the company’s performance (ahem, repercussions for its choices) onto store employees

Ahh yes, asking why Trump is sleeping through press conferences is an "inappropriate question," but spending years falsely accusing Joe Biden of sleeping all the time is "legitimate discourse."

When someone wants to tax the rich to make up for the effects of the low wages paid by the rich, that's "class warfate." When the rich defund Medicaid and block food assistance for the poor, that's not.

DHS is tired of people proving that they attack religious leaders without provocation, so they'll just... ban clergy?

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won? People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump. It’s always pure projection.

He knows dawned will that to impeach and *convict* would take a supermajority and would do nothing to undo the damage that the GOP has done to federal infrastructure and our citizens. He's fear mongering to drive violence against Democrats.

Trump will do anything he can to help anyone who bribes him with millions.

The Senate is literally the most racist structure of our government, and proves the central thesis of Critical Race Theory nymag.com/intelligence...

"Intellectual diversity" is white supremacist for "stop teaching the truth about us." If a lecturer supported white supremacy, that would have been declared "diverse" even though it would denote bias against students taking the course.

Reminder: this is against the law.

"To obtain the capital they need, hyperscalers have leveraged a growing list of complex debt-financing options ... That shift is fueling speculation that A.I. investments are turning into a game of musical chairs whose financial instruments are reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis." Vibe shift.

*If* those things were hoaxes, Trump's actions would still be retribution, but those things were not hoaxes.

The modern conservative movement is more opposed to America’s WW2 actions than they are to literal Hitler

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this. Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage. Let people find joy where they can, please.

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture." In our name, with our tax dollars. Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

Two thirds of Latinos in the US now think it's a bad time for them here, which is approximately the same percentage of them who voted for Trump.

Trump seems to want us to all have Health Savings Accounts instead of health insurance, which is simply a way to harm disabled people. Slip on ice and in a coma for a month? You'll have enough in the HSA to cover a day or two, maybe. Chronically ill? Go fuck yourself!

"'Climate change is increasingly lethal, though critics say… it is not.' Or, 'Israel is murdering journalists in Gaza at historically unprecedented rates, though critics say… it is not.' Or, 'Trans people claim to be real, though critics say…'"

We need universal laws against naming things after people who are still alive and for at least 20 years after their death. It has always been a risk of naming things after people who are later disgraced, but under Trump, it's also a source of bribes.

Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout. Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

As always, they falsely accuse Dems of what Repubs actually do.

Chaos erupted in Little Village. /

When the GOP says they're the party of "small government," what they really mean is; a handful of fanatical white male tyrants will control everything & everyone in every state without the constraints of laws or accountability, with zero regard for the people, their will & their lives.

What’s happening with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is a really important lesson. It is so dangerous when all we do is read a headline or, if you’re an influencer, all you do is post a headline. There is no way a headline can capture the nuance of how to outwit her fellow justices. 1/2
