WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

Good God. Parents be informed. I know none of this will be addressed while Trump is in office but feels like we better make this a priority soon.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

Felon's media bullying is going global. “If he sues, he opens a Pandora’s box, and [in it] is every damning quote he’s ever uttered about Jan 6”- outside lawyer who specializes in this area "It’s a legal cliff edge, and if he jumps, there’s a high chance he’ll fall" Backing up in 3,2...👀🍿

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: “In a few moments from now, myself & @whipkclark.bsky.social will offer an amendment before the Rules Committee to change the bill so that it extends the ACA tax credits for three years and we’re going to put Republicans on the record.”

Endless cruelty that I can’t wrap my mind and heart around 😢 Grocers Scrap Discounts for SNAP Recipients After Threats From Trump Administration #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited #ONEV1 www.notus.org/trump-white-...

“The Navy is seeking a cost estimate from a list of pre-qualified companies for ‘a temporary, self-sustaining military base of operations capable of supporting 10,000 personnel and providing 10,000 square feet of office space for a period of 12 months’…”

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

This. This. This. It’s already happening.

Republicans have spent decades using Christianity to get votes while living the opposite of its values. They turned faith into a campaign slogan and scripture into a shield for cruelty. When people finally see that, the illusion will break and so will the Republican Party.

Holy shit. The new spending package has a hidden provision that allows Republican Senators to sue the government for $500K over the phone records searches related to the January 6 riot. How can any Democrat vote for this? How can you argue this is a good deal?

Blame Trump for buying the “bill of goods” because he’s inept and incompetent. Amazing a man of his extraordinary IQ would so easily fall for such a stupid policy idea & immediately tweet it, right?

@aftynbehn.bsky.social is the candidate for #TN07 we need to send to Congress in the #TnSpecialElection. Early voting starts 11/12-11/26. Election Day is 12/2.

Bari Weiss is Tulsi Gabbard with a byline. With distortions, half truths and lies, she is the Vichy voice who fancies herself speaking Truth to Power, when she truly is just someone speaking to a fascist exactly the lies he wants to hear.

The Federal Government has been heavily subsidizing Medicare Advantage Plans for years to the point where huge insurance companies like United Healthcare could offer them at $0 monthly premium. Why do Republican’s support THOSE subsidies but none for The Affordable Act? #ACA

But I didn’t serve to earn white approval. I didn’t serve to prove my worth to anyone. I served to continue a Black legacy. Because this is our country, too. From well-known Black soldiers, like the Buffalo Soldiers, to the Tuskegee Airmen, to every Black service member who stood 🧵👇🏾

Happy Veterans Day. 🇺🇸 I served a country that has not always served my people. I put on that uniform knowing that generations of Black soldiers before me were brutalized, disrespected, segregated, and still stood watch over a nation that often denied us basic humanity. 🧵👇🏾

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Seattle: Important 🚨

They’re not concerned with affordability. The whole reason the ACA exists is to get insurance to people who were otherwise denied coverage for preexisting conditions or shunted into terrible, high-cost plans with poor coverage. It was to ensure access to preventive care to reduce catastrophic need.

"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn" Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

Most in-depth explanation I’ve seen so far. youtu.be/zRCEpXpSd_g

Recent polling on the economy shows flashing red lights for Donald Trump, CNN’s chief data analyst warned. Trump is facing double trouble.

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Senators look at Trump's shameless corruption and say "give us some of that"

Demand That Chuck Schumer Step Down As Minority Leader Sign the petition: c.org/c5PbGWk6hM (Change(dot)org will ask you to donate. You *do not* need to donate.)

What? Trump just went back to scotus' this morning to keep snap from being funded. MIKE Johnson hasn't agreed to the senates bill. The dem Senate gave up their only leverage. It's worse than nothing. .

Seventy-six burned, mutilated, drowned murder victims. That number of killings in one place, at one time, would be a massacre. Untried, unidentified humans. All so that abominable puppet Hegseth can posture as a warfighter.

Bovino is precisely the type of personality who thrived in Nazi Germany. This guy is having the time of his life on a massive power trip and he would happily usher all of us into cattle cars if given the order. You can’t reason with individuals like him. They have to be defeated and imprisoned.

Everyone in California. I just left an angry message at @schiff.senate.gov office in San Francisco. I've NEVER been this angry with the Dems. Told him Schumer must resign. They are all at fault. If you are a CA constituent, CALL Schiff's office and give him an earful. I'm calling Padilla next.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

I watched the paralegal abduction video and realized that these guys are “wilding” under cover of uniform - just randomly choosing people to terrorize the way Trump accused the Central Park Five of doing years ago. It’s truly horrible.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen. Flood the lines. Call your Senators. ☎️ (202) 224-3121 🧵1/2

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy. Anyone wanna explain that?

Just makes it even more important for us to get the Epstein files to see why Trump is so eager to protect her. This is also jarring in contrast to the abusive treatment that people kidnapped and detained by ICE are facing. www.huffpost.com/entry/raskin...

The fact that someone was fooled by a spoof from a website (literally) called the Dunning-Kruger Times has no bearing at all on my confidence that he would definitely have the upper hand in any negotiation with President Xi, or Putin.

1/8 The right-wing echo chamber is in full celebration mode this morning, claiming Trump has “checkmated” Democrats and “saved America” while warning of a “socialist-Islamist takeover” of New York. Here’s what they’re saying today. #DisinfoWatch #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue
