And then Convicted Felon Donald Trump has to sign it for it to become law.

We are far from being done, folks.

A Senate vote on extending the ACA subsidies is supposed to occur the second week of December, but it is NOT A PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE TEXT.

The Senate still has to debate amendments & then vote for the final language. Then the bill has to go back to the House for a vote on final passage.

NOTE:

(1/3) This handshake deal is for a Continuing Resolution (CR) that would extend government funding only through 1/30/26, with a "minibus" of three full-year appropriations bills that would fund specific programs/agencies, including SNAP benefits, through 9/30/26.

Again: This entire shutdown fight is one big advertisement for #MedicareForAll

Making a broken system less bad is not a real answer and never was.

Interest rates forecast to be cut more heavily. What good news for mortgage holders!

Oh, but wait, job losses are getting worse and job prospects getting fewer. So people might have no job to pay that reduced mortgage.

Meanwhile shares at record high.

Who’s feeling rich?

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Why Senate Democrats caved on shutdownβ€”and why their excuses are BS A group of Senate Democrats, fresh off of caving to Republican demands for ending the government shutdown, appeared on morning news shows on Monday to try to spin their cowardice. On Sunday night, a g...

Dick Durbin sucks ass. Why are retiring Senators like him and Shaheen voting for this?

Dick Durbin can room with Merrick Garland in the Neville Chamberlain Retirement Home.

Chuck Schumer: do I want to fight for the people, or have the heiress to Walmart and the CEO of Delta politely laugh at my joke when I see them at the farmer's market at Martha's vineyard, even though I'll fuck up the punchline? Well, the choice is obvious

They're getting screwed, and every Dem who votes for this will be primaried.

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: We go now live to the U.S. Senate where Democrats have decided to believe Republicans will honor their promise to vote for an #ACA extension in December.

AI companies are telling us to β€œstop hiring humans” while laying off workers, overvaluing themselves, and building chatbots for lonely billionaires. Meanwhile, Democrats like Zohran Mamdani are out here actually improving people’s lives in the real world.

Trumpβ€˜s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this β€œdeal.”

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers.

Who gets screwed: everyone else.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.
