the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

even with these very damning trump-epstein revelations, I feel like there’s a press conference coming where chuck schumer brandishes an egg carton

yet another thing for mike johnson to not know about 🙈🙉🙊

NEW: DougCo's lame duck GOP school board just failed to pass a 10-year renewal for all charter schools after one member of the conservative majority voted no (Tim Moore). The measure to protect charters from scrutiny by the incoming Dem/moderate board fails, per @spencersoicher.bsky.social.

aurora sighting from aurora!

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Jon Stewart "Can't F**king Believe" Democrats Caved on the Shutdown youtu.be/eFI6MwlLJ08

🔥 A former president & a former chairman of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) resigned from ISI’s board on Friday. One of them posted this warning that “conservative institutions are being systematically…undermined by post-liberals who promote a ‘no enemies to the right’ mindset.” 1/

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

“They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs” by buying health insurance is so fucking funny, man

wanna know what’s scarier than pushing to production on a friday

We had a moment of unity in the elections last week, a momentum that Dems could never have dreamed of, and then they turned their backs on all the voters that came out in support—to protect our democracy, our healthcare, and our neighbors. This is a colossal failure of the Democratic leadership.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

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.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including: -Rudy Giuliani -John Eastman -Mark Meadows -Sidney Powell -Ken Chesebro -Christina Bobb -Kelli Ward -Jenna Ellis www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

@bkindivisible.bsky.social's @adamnyc.bsky.social telling it like it is.

get schumer out of leadership before he does more damage. get someone in that understands the bigger picture.

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Tonight was a very bad night.

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.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

@booker.senate.gov do you support removing Chuck Schumer from leadership after this catastrophic failure? Same for @jeff-merkley.bsky.social and @wyden.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @adamschiff.com

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!

Might as well primary Schumer I guess. The campaign slogans would be so funny.

A reporter should ask Chuck Schumer exactly what it is he thinks his job is

it’s true tho

and there they are. the coward caucus.

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.

oh yes, trump 1 was quite a time. had a gop senator and representative. so many angry calls, not all sober.

I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase? 2256.42%???? TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

CHARLIE BROWN: The deal agreed upon today contains major concessions. Lucy, for example, has agreed to give me two attempts at kicking the football tomorrow. But to me? What matters most is that I can at last continue with my important work on the pitcher's mound

All of this is confirming my belief that Republicans never learn from a loss and Democrats never learn from a win

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

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

I know quite a few comrades on the ACA exchange. I used to be on the exchange for years. A doubling or tripling of premium costs will be a death sentence for people who NEED HEALTH INSURANCE to survive. PERIOD. We've heard Democrats say as much for WEEKS. So what the hell??????

this is a moderate to normie Illinois Democrat

contact your senators, it helps! you can use @resist.bot to fax or email them if you don’t want to talk on the phone!

Hickenlooper walking this back now

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.
