If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Elections have consequences. And it seems like so many think we as the minority party can magically fix it. We need new leadership πŸ’―.But for FFS can’t we all hold two truths? This sucks they did the best they could and families eat. I just don’t get why this is so hard.We don’t hold power.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, and not because SNAP recipients want them to. They are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the establishment.

Fighting to starve 42 million Americans so you can strip healthcare from millions more all so you can cover up the fact that the President is a pedophile is wild.

So 2025.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

The President of the United States cannot stay awake for more than an hour. He’s in and out of the hospital more than a patient with cancer. He has no idea who is being pardoned or given Carte Blanche over the use of US taxpayer dollars. We are being led by unelected people. I am angry.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.

Republicans said no.

So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
Republicans OWN this shutdown.

I honestly shouldn't have to care so much about who's mayor of a city I've spent maybe three days total in, but apocalypses change you.

England… Strips an Epstein β€œfriend” of all royal titles and properties. U.S. Makes another Epstein β€œfriend” a king…. It took too long for for England, but they finally did what is right. The U.S. will continue its slide into sleazery until the Orange Slime Mold is deposed.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I don’t know about you, but tRump’s destruction of the East Wing of The White House really hurt.

We’re all forced to watch in horror as he literally tears down America & it’s history.

We’ll never get the East Wing back. How much else is gone forever?

Congress, with Senate consent, staying perpetually adjourned to obstruct legally elected representation is a coup.
