This ICE observer had her TSA-Pre-check revoked.

"Three days after the interaction, on January 13th, I received an email notice that my Global Entry/TSA-Pre Check privilege for passing through airport security had been revoked."

That money plus more can be clawed back with interest

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

To support entrepreneurs, we need universal healthcare.

“This was a very very bad vote”

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

The 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!

Fuck these DINOs. Never giving to the DNC again.

Tim Kaibe was Hillary’s pick for VP. WHAT THE FUCKKK. @kaine.senate.gov what’s wrong with you??

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.

They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.

Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

So @therickwilson.bsky.social had some thoughts about @schumer.senate.gov caving

So was Lafayette. He’s fighting the good fight. There are douches and hero’s in all social classes.

So this sounds weird to post but I wish @bsky.app and @skylight.social would send me more push notifications (that I could turn off of course), being like "you haven't posted in awhile." I generally don't want more notifications but also want to support ethical tech.

Good?!

Defund ICE! Why isn’t that on the agenda?

Was messed up what Comey did. But let’s recognize. The enemy of my enemy here. He’s not a fascist. He was just foolish (in a way that sent us down the worst reality)…but still.

So much for the free speech commitments of thin skinned tech billionaires. They waited for a lame excuse to fire @karenattiah.bsky.social after she declined to take their buyout, which I knew they would do since they are nothing if not unsurprising, and here we are open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

They had kids, too.

So, chiming in here to counter the haters. I’ve researched this for the past 2.5 years (for my app) and Scott is one of the only people to call out what’s happening. Young men are not alright and it’s largely systematic/cultural…so stop with the pull up by your boot straps. Have some compassion.

Why isn't the real GovPressOffice account on Bluesky cc: @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social I'm living for it and can't bear to use x-Twitter

They just hate being called out. It's working. DNC's/Kamala's campaign's biggest mistake was to put a leash on Walz. His 'weird' rhetoric worked. Dems have gotten so used to toeing the line set by Republicans. Nice to not have a 'pickme' Dem stand up for something.

Just a random observation about compliments. I think we need to normalize compliments to men.
