Talk to us like adults Senator. We The People have already seen them vote down the ACA in the BBB. Are you forever going to just demand a vote in a bill we know will fail and then turn to the camera and go "Can you believe they keep doing the same thing kids!" Look in the mirror.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

I’m not active on Twitter anymore but if I were I’d be so annoyed that I stopped following Joyce Carol Oates over some previous horrible take. Joyce Carol Oates is the Azealia Banks of literature. Embarrassing but very entertaining and often deadly towards people who deserve it

Tweet from Elon Musk: Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

"The Trump White House, for it's part, is cackling—sometimes literally—about the turn of events. Two White House officials, and two other Trump advisers, could barely contain their giddiness when asked by Zeteo about the latest instance of the Democratic elite capitulating to Trump. Multiple Trump aides and allies kept gratuitously using terms such as "losers" and "pussies" as they revelled in the relief from a shutdown that even President Trump acknowledged was getting Republicans "killed" politically.

They'll have the vote because Thune knows they don't have 60 votes. All the Senators know that they do not have 60 votes to pass an ACA bill. Just pointless cruel politics.

I created a playlist called "Stupid Queue", dump the album in there and repeat the playlist. Annoying but effective.

Agreed. The right wing has a giant spigot of money. They own the social media platforms. They own the mainstream media. We have message, passion, empathy, intelligence but not enough resources. The money problem is a real issue for us.

New York has a matching funds program for candidates. Mamdani has said this program was the only way he could run.

It is going to get dire and people are gonna need every penny they have to survive. We need outside investors.

Which billionaires are going to fund us? Tea Party was not a grassroots movement.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

Tedious correction is the soul of BlueSky

Senate Dems just told ACA recipients to eat dirt

But they aren't staking anything. If they have the vote, they don't have 60 votes to pass it. Mike Johnson has said he will never bring that bill to a vote. Trump is now babbling about giving subsidies directly to the people (he will not do that). I don't see them ever coming back honestly.

You are not.

You are part of Dem leadership and are culpable for this disastrous shutdown. Federal workers not being paid but forced to work. States, food banks, and community aid groups scrambling to keep our neighbors fed. All that pain for nothing. You need to retire.

Step down

I'm past the Charlie Brown Lucy analogy. These are craven people and know exactly what they are doing.

One of the many problems with the elected leadership of the Democratic Party right now is that most of us have no idea why they are doing what they are (apparently) doing. Why would they cave *right now* for essentially nothing? What is the logic, even if it's dogshit logic? Totally unclear. 1/2

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

You have a typo. He was the "architect" not the "advocate"

Non-zoomed in pic for those wondering if this is real. Also that scar bump about 1/4 of the way down his ear is likely the bullet scar though I am a bit surprised it didn't leave a larger bubble/dot scar.

We've reclaimed the frog

Me. I was one of those people. 😭

There is no evidence that shots were fired. Too many just read the misleading headlines. We need to call out the copaganda when you see it. The headline could have been about the infant or that they violated a court order, not PR for the feds.

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

I worked for a Major Grocery store in the 90's. This is pre-EBT, so it was a humiliating process where you'd have to use stamps/vouchers. Each voucher had to be processed as a separate transaction. Could take 20 mins to checkout. We'd do what we could to help.
