It's not just race, they're so stupid they think only Dem governors are doing this

I'm pretty sure Jeff Landry was the first gov to announce a state plan to attempt coverage backfill, because even though he's a dipshit republican and the state is broke, he also doesn't want to die

Primaries for senators

My statement on the spending legislation and Republican healthcare crisis.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The 8 Dems who surrendered: @SenAngusKing @timkaine @SenCortezMasto @JohnFetterman @SenatorDurbin @SenatorHassan @SenatorShaheen @SenJackyRosen

“This was a very very bad vote”

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

It's Time for a Democratic Tea Party Enough is enough. We need leaders capable of resisting the rising tide of fascism.

"We don’t need a mass movement. We just need enough people who are willing to step up, change the narrative, and help to create the opposition party we so desperately need." (from March) www.liberalcurrents.com/its-time-for...

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

NEWS: U.S. Senate advances bill to reopen the federal government in a 60-40 vote.

Dems who votes yes:
🔵 Catherine Cortez Masto
🔵 Dick Durbin
🔵 John Fetterman
🔵 Maggie Hassan
🔵 Tim Kaine
🔵 Angus King
🔵 Jackie Rosen
🔵 Jeanne Shaheen

Republicans who voted no:
🔴 Rand Paul

Nope. Only need 9 cumulative wins for this one.

Yeah true of most high-cost metros IIRC: Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, others

Basically everywhere outside the Sun Belt

The cost of living in America is way too high.

And everyone knows it.

(Except for Donald Trump and Republican sycophants in Congress).

Democrats captured two governorships, won every statewide race in Virginia, gained 13 seats in the Virginia House and more. While the party saw big wins this week, it’s critical to prepare for Trump’s sure attempts to subvert the 2026 midterms.

Wow: Trump is pardoning a convicted agent of the Chinese Communist Party

The softest Nazis you ever did see They're tough guys in the streets and delicate little babies in court.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

Tariffs are taxes. The power to tax is a power vested in Congress—not the President—that’s rooted in the history and founding of the U.S. back to the revolution.

New policy: people who come into my mentions to scold me for how I engage with bad-faith users are getting blocked. Y’all clearly are looking for a different online experience than the one I provide, so I’ll just help you along to it.

Thankful for the incredible leadership, transformational legacy and powerful legislative impact of the Honorable Nancy D’Alesandro Pelosi.

She is the Greatest Speaker of All Time.

Judge orders Trump administration to deliver full SNAP benefits to states by Friday The administration had said it would distribute partial payments in November, but that the process could take weeks.

Trump and far-right Republicans are unlawfully denying SNAP benefits to millions of children and veterans.

The American people have had enough.

And Democrats continue to fight back.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.
