Crowd outside the U.S. Supreme Court with a raised hand holding American and rainbow pride flags.

Kim Davis who tried to get the #SupremeCourt to overturn same sex marriage now owes a gay couple $360k — Fabulous 🏳️‍🌈

That didn’t take long.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

🚨BREAKING: In a win for Wisconsin voters, a state judge vacated a ruling that would have forced election officials to conduct mass citizenship checks — a move voting rights advocates warned could have wrongly purged some citizens from the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Greg Sargent tweet on Mikie Sherrill's statement "slamming the Senate's proposed shutdown deal"

Statement from Mikie Sherrill "sharply criticizing Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as 'malpractice' and a betrayal of the people who are 'counting on us to fight for them'." bluevirginia.us/2025/11/sen-... h/t @gregsargent.bsky.social

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

"The GOP promises to hold a vote to extend subsidies" is just "The Roadrunner has painted a tunnel on the side of this mountain" but in a different font.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson Won't Commit to Vote on Healthcare and Trump Blasts Greene Mike Johnson will not commit to a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies all while Trump is blasting Marjorie Taylor Greene in their intra-party rift.

BREAKING: Despite Senate deal, Mike Johnson will not commit to a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies all while Trump is blasting Marjorie Taylor Greene in their intra-party rift.

A major news update. I have the latest: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Tell Congress: Cancel GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown Contact Congress today!

Keep contacting Congress! Let's go! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

No health care, no deal.

Since it’s @scaramucci.bsky.social talking about how Tim Mellon is the “Epstein connection you don’t know about,” I kinda wish I’d made the connection 11 days ago. But alas, it was two weeks ago.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

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.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."
