I am beyond angry. Why put the country through this if you weren’t going to stand your ground anyway? You just handed the GOP the ability to pass anything they want over the next 3 years

Tucked into a spending bill that is part of the deal to end the government shutdown is a provision that would allow GOP senators to personally sue the federal government for as much as $500K over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawful search of their phone records.

Thank you @jamestalarico.bsky.social
for making an official statement telling senate Democrats to hold the damn line.

The American people absolutely deserve and need healthcare. 💯

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

If we lose SNAP and health insurance anyways then this was all for nothing. Fund SNAP, and renew ACA benefits. Don’t open the government otherwise.

I’ve been furloughed since Oct 1 and will gladly stay that way until those are guaranteed

I cannot express my relief when I see the shift bluewards in so many places. Folks are waking up to how bad things are and voting accordingly. Maybe they’ll remember this come 2028

Measles outbreak investigation in Utah blocked by patient who refuses to talk The person refused to even tell health officials their address.

A patient in Utah refused to be tested or to help with investigation into the outbreak.

Measles is extremely infectious. It can linger in the room for up to 2 h after an infectious person has left.

Among unvaccinated people, 90% will become infected if exposed.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! House Democrats celebrate the unique histories, cultures and achievements of our Native communities.

3 people were hospitalized from this fire after Judge Diane Goodstein issued a ruling temporarily blocking SC from handing over millions of voters’ personal data to Trump. Trump allies - including Elon Musk - ramped up their criticism of judges for being politically biased against the GOP.

Donald Trump and MAGA shutdown the government to kick 22M people off their healthcare.

Now they're trying to gaslight Gen Z about who is to blame. But we won't let them.

It’s time for Mutual Aid groups. We have to get started.

The last time we had these conversations, we were in the middle of COVID. Communities were struggling to keep going - economically, emotionally, physically.

AOC did a lot of work in this space. I'm sharing resources she created.

Click to read & rebel!

Texas Republicans fired the opening salvo. Now, GOP hacks nationwide are carving up maps to cling to power.

But Dems, activists ＆voters are fighting back with lawsuits, protests ＆ referenda.

We won’t be silenced, sidelined, or stolen from.

The rebellion is on. 🔥

We need your help. There is a new doxxing site circulating. A domain just registered through Namecheap (on Sept 10, 2025) and hosted on Squarespace is being used to publish private personal information.

Well said!

The entire IC community has been unhappy with things since inauguration.

If corporations can afford to spend HUNDREDS of millions every year on "union avoidance consultants," then they could afford to just pay their workers more.

It's not just about the money. It's about stopping workers from building power.

The way I (fellow Army brat but married to a Boot State native) immediately recognized the dessert and knew it wasn’t the Walmart brand 🤣

Wishing our Black brothers & sisters a powerful Juneteenth.

Made a federal holiday in 2021 thanks to tireless activism & leaders like Opal Lee, today honors Black freedom, survival & excellence.

A reminder: liberation takes struggle—and justice delayed is never justice denied. We fight on✊🏾✊✊🏻

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians"
