I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year.

Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The Zohran font but it says "Stand for nothing"

I can hold both fury at the cavers and the possibility that some of them were sincerely wanting to stop people from starving at the same time. John Fetterman, on the other hand, said:

Brad Lander, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you

Chuck, portrayed by Paul Scheer, a member of the Good Place Committee: "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

This is embarrassing and you’re a coward

Get real loud real quick—maybe it pushes some cowards to do the right thing, and if it doesn’t it sure makes their lives worse

Mood

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sometimes being a dramaturg is hard, and then sometimes you get to share a research nugget of delightful resonance with the writer of a play you’re madly in love with and thank them for said play and they’re super lovely and want to get a cocktail when they’re in town and that rules.

Absolutely bottomless depravity

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

three sheets of paper are taped to the outside of a building. they have the words "The Oval Office" in gold script

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

help i have fallen very deeply in love with the voyager planetary and interstellar space missions right at the moment when they could stop transmitting at any moment

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

cracking open a gatorade because i libbed out too hard last night

Me an hour ago: So kind of everyone to do such a good job voting that I can log off and get some work done before bed!

Me now: BRING ME THE POSTS OF THE FALLEN, THERE IS GLOATING AND REJOICING STILL TO BE PERFORMED.

It’s always a good day in Pennsylvania when Jeffrey Yass sets a metric fuck ton of cash on fire for absolutely no reason, as he did in this election.

Jesus I see what you’ve done for New York and I want that for Philadelphia

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have hated these election results

Deepest breath: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HELL YES
