Filling out a banking form that asks for my occupation, and in what I am choosing to consider as a sign of the times, "journalist" is not a selectable option, but "cryptocurrency" is

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

Ngl the loud booing for Pete Hesgeth at the Lions/Commanders game felt real good

This is what happens to your football career when you’re a pro-trumper, mentally abuse woman, and proudly state you’re anti-vaccination. He didn’t learn the first time around so he came back for more. I feel like this years failure is better than the last cause he can’t claim injury. You just suck.

IF…

yea the problem with poverty and food scarcity is that once people experience extended food scarcity that shit is carved in there forever. this was a major observable thing after the great leap forward and its resulting famine

And when martial law comes into being, he will see the killings start.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

All we need is one senator to change their vote because there are several votes coming up yet and still on this, unless Little Mikey can push her through unanimously. There's about three more votes coming up on it. Call your senator

Democrats are so amateurish and naive to act on a promise of behavior in the future by people who shamelessly lie about their behavior in the past every single day.

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

They have to vote a couple of more times. If one Senator voting yes besides the vote no, it won't go through.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

“This is now a MAGA court, and Roberts is at the helm."

It's not over yet.

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally.

If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

The art of folding a winning hand

Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

"The biggest takeaway from all this is that Donald Trump learns another lesson in the virtues of brazening it out. He is willing to shoot the hostage, and the Democrats are not. This ultimately strengthens his negotiating hand."

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

Supreme Court Won’t Consider Overturning Same-Sex Marriage The petition had garnered widespread fears that the court could overturn its precedent on same-sex marriage.

China just extended its lending facility to Tesla by $2.38 billion last quarter.

Now he disses them right after getting his $1 trillion pay package approved.

Tesla shareholders are stupider than followers of Jim Jones.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.

Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Are we the assholes?
