If your government sends a $40B "gift" to another country while refusing to feed its own children, you need another government. There's nothing wrong with foreign aid (in most cases); but there is something wrong with letting kids and veterans go hungry while sending it.

… to protect you and your familys. They worked without pay, many at a monetary loss to themselves. This is what we do at the FDA if left alone. You don’t see us because we are that devoted and that fucking good that we ninja your safety.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is calling on Senate Democrats to replace Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as leader after eight members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted Sunday to begin the process of reopening the federal government.

50th anniversary year #EdmundFitzgerald #Minnesota #NorthShore #LakeSuperior

YouTube video by Zeezy "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics)

🇨🇦 legend Gordon Lightfoot forever commemorated the wreck of the #EdmundFitzgerald on Lake Superior that took the lives of all 29 crew members 50 yrs ago on Nov 10, 1975.

Still remains one of the most emotional and haunting songs I've ever heard

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin' "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya" At seven p.m., a main hatchway caved in, he said "Fellas, it's been good to know ya" The captain wired in he had water comin' in And the good ship and crew was in peril And later that night when his lights went outta sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

This is just incredibly efficient storytelling:

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Takes whatever signs and portents you need from that fact.

You can train your algorithms, guys. 2/3rds of my Instagram feed is now Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald meme posts. You don't need AI. There are enough weird people doing weird stuff already.

A black and white photo of Gordon Lightfoot standing with his guitar and a microphone. The captions reads "Gordon Lightfoot performs in Toronto in June 1976, the month “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” was released on his album “Summertime Dream.” Doug Griffin/Toronto Star file photo

Great story.

"A half-century later...“The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” stands as a crucial work of historical preservation for an incident that might have otherwise faded from collective memory."

This is where a lot of people are at. Having anyone put in this place is too much. Healthcare premiums people can't afford + Medicaid being taken away entirely from some of us = a lot of suffering and death.

Mike Johnson just said he made no promises about insurance subsidies. So there you go the people are screwed. Expect your premiums to double or triple.

If this week has taught us anything, it's that passionate people can defeat machines designed to break us. Don't look at the Dem Party as a completed institution, but one that is ready for change. We can take it and force it to work for us, which is happening now. Be a part of that and be loud.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Senate in recess until 8pm Eastern time.

DEMS HOLD THE LINE

Call your senators. (202) 224-3121

💯

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

It’s not premature to call your Senators RIGHT NOW. Repeat tomorrow. No deal without healthcare.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Why am I seeing posts today that YOU are planning to cave to the GOPQ & Trump?

FFS, YOUR VOTERS are mostly NOT ON SNAP.
YOUR VOTERS WANT YOU TO FIGHT.

WhyT FU*K would you cave with historic voting last Tuesday?

You need to step aside.

I have yelled at Padilla and Schiff on every voicemail available (shame on @padilla.senate.gov for not allowing voicemails when his DC office is closed) and I encourage you to do the same regardless of whether your Senator seems to be one of those who wants to cave. Entire caucus deserves blame.

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social please do not cave on the shutdown over a promise from people who have done nothing but lie to the American people.
