Senator @kaine.senate.gov I have voted to elect you several times. I am very disappointed by last night’s vote. Republicans cannot be trusted on anything they promise to give in the future, and a promise to hold a vote is weak anyway.
10.11.2025 14:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The 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!
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

09.11.2025 23:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'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.

CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From @deadder.bsky.social )
Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
there are going to be a lot of stories in the next couple weeks about the generosity of ordinary people in helping their fellow Americans and all of them will be wonderful and none of them should be necessary
we don’t have to have a government this cruel and capricious
Over the next few weeks, millions of Americans are going to receive notices that their healthcare costs are set to explode in 2026. Many more will log onto online insurance marketplaces only to find that they’ve been priced out of the coverage they rely on.
28.10.2025 12:41 — 👍 1247 🔁 490 💬 65 📌 31I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.
Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.
You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.
You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.
This is a president who described January 6th as a day of love and #NoKings as a day of hate. #NKBridge #NoKingsDC

This arch thing is bat shit loonery
Like a lot of us here, the Lock 'Em Up-est comments I see on social media are coming from, well, extremely normal people. So I wanted to explain how extremely helpful it would be this weekend if they scared the shit out of everyone driving them nuts.

What is happening in Chicago, and other cities across the U.S., is unimaginably horrific—it will forever be a stain on American history.
Do your part to fight back against this by attending a protest this Saturday.
We need to show America—and the rest of the world—that we are done with this shit.
I’ve never foraged mushrooms before, but this @vaoapodcast.bsky.social podcast has me thinking about it. I do like to forage berries!

DC is our HOME. We have seen the full force of the Trump regime, but they have not heard silence from the people of DC. October 18th, when we march to the national mall, our voices will be deafening! #nokings #nokingsday #nokingsday2 #50501movement #resist #resistance #dc #dmv #washingtondc #trump
