In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

With his threat of a $1bn lawsuit against BBC, Trump’s assault on the media goes global

Agreeing to throw millions of people off healthcare because you’re worried about disrupting Thanksgiving travel is the most Schumer-coded Dem move ever

Someone please tell Marty Makary that menopause doesn't kill women or cause divorces.

Serious injuries went untreated, medications were denied or scaled back, and needed medical appointments were delayed at the ICE detention center.

Prominent Afrikaners are pushing back after President Trump announced no U.S. officials will attend the G20 in Johannesburg, rejecting his claims of "white persecution" in South Africa as false and politically driven.

Canada no longer measles-free as outbreaks spread

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

I don't know when I'll write it up, but among the things Rudy Giuliani got pardoned for is destroying the lives of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now. If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Deep uncertainty for SNAP beneficiaries—39 percent of whom are children—continues, with President Trump seemingly doing everything he can to keep aid from reaching the country's neediest.

“The Administration needs to immediately make the opinion and list of DTOs available for all of Congress to review so that we can conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight of the use of lethal military force," @jahimes.bsky.social told @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/07/t...

Supreme Court suggests that Kim Davis go fuck herself and/or one of her 37 ex-husbands.

the second comment - don't think i can even argue with it

NEW: Ghislaine Maxwell, the co-conspirator of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is in the process of seeking a commutation of her 20-year prison sentence from President Trump, a whistleblower tells House Democrats.

the centrism will continue until morale decreases

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.” So I don’t know man.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Caving for nothing means that Democrats are the ones responsible for the shutdown because they could have taken this shit deal weeks ago.

Tonight was a very bad night.

There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

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.

They lined up all their defectors in safe positions or who had nothing to lose and everyone else had time to workshop their little posts about how they don't agree with this

the Dems keep operating like this cynical shit has no effect. It’s why their core voters don’t fucking show up. When they say “we fight for you” nobody believes them, because they constantly pull shit like this and say “what else are you gonna vote for.” But then people STAY HOME.

Like for six weeks, Democrats actually united on a singular, coherent message of “this is entirely about healthcare, it is the only thing that matters, all of this is about protecting healthcare” and then the flight delays started and the first thing they did was give up on healthcare

Rich countries have lost enthusiasm for tackling climate crisis, says Cop30 chief

After the 2016 election, I wrote this, about how Chuck Schumer was the worst possible Democratic leader at the worst possible time. He still is! theintercept.com/2016/11/14/c...

remember tuesday? that was 86 years ago

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting. Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

It is really funny the NY Times has a reporter whose "beat" is college campus cancel culture shit. That's like having a reporter reporting on WWE storylines

you have to read these publications with the same mindset you use to read Nextdoor posts

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

Money quote from Gov-Elect Spanberger (now please just do it).

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store. One big reason why? Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

Lmaooo- even Ritchie Torres is now angling to primary Schumer as the latest news keeps trickling out re another attempted #SchumerSurrender

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

This is the food-distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base. Active-duty U.S. service members waiting for basic assistance because Trump gutted SNAP support for military families. Trump's predatory regime refuse to offer these military families the financial relief they deserve. (🎥hatteri621)

Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) Maggie Hassan (N.H.) Sens. Jacky Rosen (Nev.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Gary Peters (Mich.) Dick Durbin (Ill.) the Democrats who are are considered by R's as possible “yes” votes for the deal.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
