Abstract floral painting that turned out pretty cool despite starting out hideous.

Painted tonight instead of sketching and actually pretty pleased. This went from being “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and made in my entire life” to “oh, oh, this turned out pretty good!” 😂 I love art.

I'm legitimately confused about the play here. No person who now is going to go without coverage in the ACA is going to just blame the GOP. They will rightly blame the Democrats too. Dems won't get "points" for "fighting" if they cave. It makes little sense.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

What would it take to depose Chuck Schumer as Senate minority leader this week? Really? Come on. Someone in the Democratic caucus has the spine to do what he won’t.

Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

Senate reaches deal to reopen government after moderate Democrats cave

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

It's time for Chuck Schumer to read the handwriting on the wall. We need new blood in Democratic leadership. He needs to GTFOOTW and make room for someone who will actually fight for the people.

The US Senate has reached a deal to end the 40-day government shutdown, reopening the government into January and funding some agencies through next year aje.io/zxinf9

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

GOP to Senate Dems soon.

CNN: “8 Senate Dem centrists reach a deal with GOP leaders and White House to reopen the government in exchange for a future vote on extending ACA subsidies… NO GUARANTEE to extend subsidies, but Dems involved believe GOP leaders will negotiate…” www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

Dealer: alright everyone ante up

Chuck Schumer: I fold

Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet

Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Precisely this.

Black-Owned Farms Fill Gaps Left by SNAP Funding Delays From North Carolina to Mississippi, small businesses work to feed their communities while benefits are paused.

From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

Sure Americans are in bread lines and layoffs are ripping across the country and prices are up and health care costs are skyrocketing… but least Ghislaine is happier now, that’s what counts!

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?

What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

A. DELTA Dear Carl Theodore, Delta is complying with a federal directive to reduce flights at 40 major U.S. airports starting Friday, November 7th, due to air traffic control staffing shortages caused by the government shutdown.

As I was saying…

James Watson was an extreme misogynist and racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s DNA research. Full Stop.

Full SNAP benefits start to go out even as the Trump administration appeals A federal judge ordered the government to fully fund food aid by Friday. The Trump administration's appeal was denied, so it's asking appealed, saying it's up to Congress to fund SNAP.

There is no doubt at all that the Trump Administration spent the emergency USDA SNAP fund and they may have even spent the regular SNAP funds.

In this article they claim USDA would have to dig in couches for something that isn’t there.

Where is the SNAP money?

Trump admin goes to SCOTUS to try and stop order that it pay full SNAP benefits this month DOJ asks the justices for an order by 9:30 p.m. Friday — as USDA was in the middle of completing its process for making full payments, under a court order to finish Friday.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump & USDA going to Supreme Court to try and STOP SNAP Benefits from being distributed. This is truly the MOST evil thing I have ever witnessed by a sitting Administration. Absolutely DESPICABLE!

Um, @variety.com?

That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

I've been boycotting Starbucks for years now because Free Palestine and fuck union busters.
