Sanders calls deal to end government shutdown a "disaster" Sen. Bernie Sanders told CBS News he's "very disappointed" by the bill to end the government shutdown, calling a planned vote on health insurance subsidies "meaningless."

It's a meaningless vote, because even if it got 100 votes in the Senate, it's not going to go anywhere in the House and the president certainly would not sign it," Sanders told CBS News. "Maybe people feel good about having a vote, but it doesn't mean anything at all."

Karoline Leavitt does almost daily press briefings. There should be equal and opposite briefings from Democrat spokespeople to counter her lies. God knows there would be plenty of material to counter.

This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline. After NOAA cut funding to the lab that’s been monitoring seismic activity for more than 25 years, nine stations tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes for the agency will go offline by the end of the mo...

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.

Clarksville veterans say care, not cuts to the Veterans Administration, are needed • Tennessee Lookout Tennessee veterans face worsening chronic illnesses as a result of long waits for care and denial of claims from the Veterans Administration.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

It's exhausting to constantly get asked to fight by a party that constantly loses by sabotaging it's winners, not holding it's opponents accountable for crimes, and that surrenders at the edge of victory.

The only way you earn loyalty is because of the monstrousness of the opposition.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

This is a huge deal. You need to pay attention here.
Think of your entire life on a phone going through menu after menu and never getting the prompt to what you’re calling for with no option to speak with a human.
Think! Why wouldn’t they want regulation? Red flag 🚩

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

Seniority, DC connectedness, time spent languishing in capitols (state and national)...

These are liabilities right now for politicians.

And the establishment has not adapted to that new reality, and finds the suggestion they should disrespectful.

And Mamdani EMBODIES that suggestion.

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

In the struggle against authoritarianism, the pro-democracy opposition needs ruthlessly strategic leadership.

Chuck Schumer ain’t it. It’s time for him to resign. We don’t have time for more Schumer Surrenders.

What is ballot ‘curing’ and why does it matter in Seattle this year?

If there’s a problem with your ballot, your vote can still be counted. The deadline is 4:30 p.m. Nov. 24. And this election, it might matter more than in most.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

New Goal

NO ACA

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE ONLY

no more incremental steps

do it all

fix this shit

end profit healthcare

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Now that the 2025 election has passed, I think we should redirect our focus at compelling Chuck Schumer to resign as minority leader. Demand nothing less. Because he picked eight other bastards based on who’s retiring and who’s not up for reelection in 2026.

It’s time for new leaders who get that the bipartisan politics of compromise is dead. You can’t keep playing by the old rule book. This regime threw it out. Appeasing authoritarians never works. We need leaders who will hold the line rather than find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Newsom Is Replacing Trump At UN Climate Summit, Chicago Pushes Back Against ICE, and Mike Johnson Runs A House Of Lies Covering Up The Epstein Files This is what resistance looks like

Did someone say “replacing Trump”?

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The image is a poster for "Blackout The System," a protest event scheduled from November 25th to December 2nd.

The call to action includes "No Spending," "No Streaming," "No Restaurants," "No Travel," "No Work," and "Stay Home." A website, "www.blackoutthesystem.com," is listed at the bottom of the poster.

FPF takes ICE to court over dangerous secrecy FOIA lawsuit targets ICE’s efforts to stop congressional oversight of detention facilities
