This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse. But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000. Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home. Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Really happy that tomorrow is my Ethiopian feast dinner. I need a comfort food pick-me-up after tonight's debacle.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

This is a good thread.

They love fighting "next time."

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Agreed. They think we're not onto their backroom shenanigans? Think again.

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate. Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

I'm gonna personally yell at Rosen and Cortez-Masto. WTAF.

These same bums will be asking us for cash at the next deadline; looking forward to sending this back to every Senate fundraising text

Neither of these parties has our best interests at heart.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Democratic leadership: YOU MUST VOTE HARDER. Democratic voters: VOTE SUPER HARD IN MASSIVE NUMBERS AND FLIP SEATS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY Democratic leadership: WE’RE CAVING. LULZ.

It's going to be our job to show them.

I want Dems who are voting no to make the lives of Dems who vote yes a living hell. Strip them of every privilege. Don't talk to them. They're turning their backs on sick Americans. It's immoral and wrong. ACT like it.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

👇🎯 Unfortunately, this is true & probably the only way. Voters need to realize that hating government, & illegally defunding & dismantling it, & pretending that we can run a modern society/economy on Ronald Reagan's shabby talking point & worn copies of Atlas Shrugged & Mein Kampf is untenable.

They should not have fucked over all of our federal employees and hurt so many people for literally nothing.

Yeah, I'm already fighting to get my insurance to cover the medication I've been on for 10yrs ($60,000 cash per year for one of my meds). Without the ACA, there's no way I'm insurable.

I wish my rep, Mark Amodei, wasn't a useless bag of organs. Would be nice to have someone in Congress to call or fight for us.

Someone has to be able to leak the Epstein files. Just end this. Gosh, I hate this timeline.

Gee, I wonder why.

If they cave, it reinforces my sense that the real problem with the democrats is not “wokeness,” but the fact that they don’t stand for anything and are willing to fight for nothing. It’s worse than being useless; it is collaboration.

Senate Dems:

This is a good tactic. Anyone can call their senator and deliver this particular message.

Nevadans, call Senator Cortez-Masto. Right now. She's in a purple district and is always afraid of pushing away the red rurals when asked to side with Dems. Tell her not to give in! We need the ACA in rural Nevada too!!

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

I just did! Do it too!

This is so scary. It's happening right here, y'all. Are you listening?

The swiftness with which the Mamdani hysteria evaporated once he got elected is jarring. It's almost like he's just going to do the job of a boring old mayor instead of a jihadi bogeyman.

I don't understand the Trump administration's destruction of air traffic and the firing of controllers. Who does it serve? Can someone explain it to me like I'm five?

I fully believe bringing back the WPA should be a cornerstone of the platform for whoever tries to build something new out of the mess Trump has made of the country

“‘More people could have died in the past week in El Fasher, and this is without hyperbole, than died in the past two years in Gaza,’ says Nathaniel Raymond, Executive Director at Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab.” open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

For those who aren't keeping up, Mamdani is a Zionist now (for condeming swastika graffiti on a yeshiva)

how about no

Holy cannoli.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Hey @democrats.org , pay attention and take notes. This is what people want.

If we learn nothing else tonight, please PLEASE let's learn that the American people were NOT won over by an absolute firehose of the most vile dehumanization of trans people. Please @democrats.org, for the love of God and all that's holy, let's FINALLY start refusing to throw ANYone under ANY bus.

The young women are all right.

Hey Dems, look who won in NYC and elsewhere (VA, GA). ACT ACCORDINGLY AND START SUPPORTING PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES!!!

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

As polls begin to close, remember: If you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. If you are in line at closing time, you have the right to vote.

begging with my entire heart for election results across the map which force the Dems to finally begin internalizing the lesson that throwing trans people under the bus is going to fuck them repeatedly

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Can't denounce racism when you yourself are Islamophobic. That's the bottom line re: both Gillibrand, Schumer and many other Democrats.
