BREAKING: Senate votes to end government shutdown.

The GOP destroyed affordable healthcare for millions of Americans and let Trump weaponize hunger against millions more.

House Democrats must reject this resolution & fight to protect healthcare for the American people.

Probably the best take I’ve seen all night.

It starts all over & there could be another shutdown in 10 weeks, right as Trump is supposed to give the SOTU. And after people will lose their insurance.

The 8 shouldn’t have voted yes, but it’s still the Repubs facing the bigger political problems

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

Here Are The 8 Senate Democrats Who Folded On The Shutdown The decision to fold on the shutdown is likely to fan the flames of the Democratic Party’s raging discontent with its elected representatives.

Welcome to Utah, the only state that explicitly bars colleges from banning guns. Kirk was killed by someone (what little we know points to a college-age male) who fired from a campus rooftop with a rifle.

Did “accepting innocent deaths” include Kirk accepting his own untimely death? trib.al/imYuvkT

Spanish speakers in LA can now be profiled by ICE - all 3.5 million of them

The Supreme Court lifted a judge's restraining order that had barred federal agents from stopping people solely based on their race, language, job or location.

Reminder that Trump spent all week trying to get Kamala Harris assassinated too by pulling her secret service detail and then using the police union to pull her security detail offered by the LAPD, let’s not forget about that.

‘No Kings’ protests nationwide to push back on Trump’s ‘overreach’ On the same day as the president’s military parade in D.C., thousands of people are expected to protest what they call his dangerous brand of authoritarianism.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t
