Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Almost comes off as dystopian. I hope at least one employee gives customers the most unsettling smile possible, cause I'd probably do that if my employer required me to do this sort of stuff 😆

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The lie that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified is still being perpetrated in the US. We live in a country of cognitive dissonance because we have never grappled with this war crime, nor the racist justification for it. There is a reason they did not drop nukes on Europe.

“I Watched It Happen in Hungary. Now It’s Happening Here. After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse…the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Trying to convince Trump that Putin is a bad guy is a fool's errand. But Merz deserves points for trying.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called out Donald Trump on the jet from Qatar to his face:

"I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you."

🔥

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Gaki no Tsukai used to be my jam a long while back. It's been really upsetting reading the news lately on this guy.

After his release from federal custody today, Mohsen Mahdawi delivered a bold message to Donald Trump and his Cabinet: “Let me make this clear—I am not afraid of you.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Big oof, but hey - this country's great again now, right?....... Right?

I understand why folks are reacting like this. But again, this is a temporary pause from a Court that doesn't like having a matter of hours to decide even disputes that we might all think are entirely obvious, and in a context in which it doesn't want to give Trump *any* excuse to not comply.

💥🇭🇺 Police have given up guarding Budapest’s Liberty Bridge as anti-government protesters shut down traffic on four major bridges, rallying against Viktor Orbán’s new law curbing freedom of assembly and banning the Pride march.

They vow to escalate with a 24-hour shutdown next week.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

We will have influenza vaccines for next season! But what happened?

Here’s another win, from our favorite allergist @rubinallergy.bsky.social

We will have a flu vaccine for next season!!! There was a lot of concern that it wasn’t gonna happen but a meeting was held and they did decide which strains to target

So bravo to the amazing fighters who made this happen

This whole thing was bleak throughout. And had it gone the other way it would have been only slightly less bleak. We face the worlds choices as they come. That's life. The one thing that came out of this that was to me a positive was a window of about 24 hrs when senators were cutting short ...

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

More of this!

We went from "I will end inflation and drive down prices on day 1" to "this recession isn't my fault" in 49 days.

Good morning!

If you ever find yourself about to post something that is important to you, but then hesitate…fearing it might piss someone off….you MUST post it. Those are the very posts that count the most right now. Someone has got to say it. Let it be you.

This is what I've liked about coming in early in the morning to the office 😌

repost this if anti-trans people are not welcome and unsafe with you

(Meme might seem soft but we put hands)

Oh hell no 🤬

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."
