EXCLUSIVE: DOGE whistleblower and former SSA Chief Data Officer Chuck Borges is running for office. In his first interview since announcing his campaign for Maryland State Senate, he describes being sidelined at SSA + why government needs more technologists. www.wired.com/story/doge-w...

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now. Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Below I provide the names, phone numbers, & a sample script to call these 8 Senate democrats who folded to Trump, & demand they reverse course and side with the American people. 81% of Dem voters want Senate Dems to stand firm. Let's make sure the Senate listens. www.qasimrashid.com/p/8-senate-d...

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

Louder for the people in the back @vanhollen.senate.gov has his shit together

President Saunders: "Congress must take action to extend the ACA tax credits and prevent a massive increase on working people’s insurance premiums.”

@indivisible.org @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @wired.com @democrats.org @katmabu.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov Never forget: Dems (DCCC) are in the pocket of Invariant (Palantir & SpaceX lobbyists) & Dem leadership defended taking the $ This surrender is coordinated

This is exactly correct.

This isn’t just about the eight Senate Democrats who surrendered. 👇

Want a party that actually fights back? That doesn't fold? Run for office. We’ll help you.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

If this week has taught us anything, it's that passionate people can defeat machines designed to break us. Don't look at the Dem Party as a completed institution, but one that is ready for change. We can take it and force it to work for us, which is happening now. Be a part of that and be loud.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Thanks to @mostmuscle.bsky.social www.opensecrets.org/orgs/america...

Blood pressure pro tip: expend energy giving money to the DSA rather than ranting about Dem leadership. This is just a note to self.

This cave was brought to you by the mega rich, because they started feeling the pain we've all grown used to.

Feeling the feminine urge to block any and all Dem fundraising texts

I'm angry. Beyond angry. I'm pissed off to the highest point of positivity @democrats.org screwed US citizens without any lube tonight I'm going to sleep, and recharge my batteries Because tomorrow is a new day and I'm not going to forget or forgive what happened tonight #NoKings #NewDemLeaders

Not to mention, this:

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Tonight was a very bad night.

The fact these 8 went above Schumer means this Dem leader has no leadership any more.

The 8 Dems who surrendered: @SenAngusKing @timkaine @SenCortezMasto @JohnFetterman @SenatorDurbin @SenatorHassan @SenatorShaheen @SenJackyRosen

Want a party that actually fights back? Run for office. We’ll help you. runforwhat.net

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

-Oct 18, more than 7 million Americans stand up and stand together. -Nov 4, millions of Dems turn out for landslide wins in VA, NJ, NY, CA, GA, many other places. -Nov 9, eight "Dems" say "Oh, this nice Mike Johnson and Mr. Trump say they care about health. If they don't, well shame on them..."

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Just a reminder.

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025. Dems learn nothing.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Ok, here is why this Alt is pissed off. They got a promise, pinky swear, from the GOP (known liars) on a vote 40 days from now on the subsidies. After the subsidies have expired, after the rates are locked. 40 day from now, meaning there isn't going to be any ACA help for 2026.

NEW: It appears Senate Dems have enough votes for cloture with Jacky Rosen flipping to a yes vote. Rand Paul voted no. Kaine, Rosen, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassen, King, Durbin, Cortez-Masto are the dems yes votes.

🚨🚨🚨 #AltCitizen assignment 🚨🚨🚨 CALL EVERY SENATOR YOU CAN RIGHT NOW TO TELL THEM NOT TO CAVE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

How much could a @schumer.senate.gov Cave cost you? Check the math here👇

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.

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.

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.

Democratic Leadership just bent the knee and agreed to an "inshallah" deal with the GOP, who won't honor anything, much like last time.
