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.

Deal to end shutdown gains traction in US Senate as vote nears β€’ Tennessee Lookout A deal was within reach Sunday night to end a government shutdown when it appeared enough U.S. Senate Democrats had agreed to join Republicans.

A deal was within reach Sunday night to end the longest federal government shutdown in history, when it appeared enough U.S. Senate Democrats had agreed to join Republicans: it doesn't address skyrocketing premiums for those enrolled in health insurance plans in the Affordable Care Act Marketplace.

Guaranteeing a vote on extending the tax credits is not guaranteeing the tax credits.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Did Tuesday night even happen?

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

As I've always said,Β I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of myΒ state.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Is Trump a socialist? Donald Trump’s new stock-buying strategy isn’t socialism, but it is a step toward a government-controlled economy.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

I’m re-upping this, even though I know it won’t matter at all, but I want maybe a few extra people to know that the White House liaison to DHSβ€”who is already known to have expressed Nazi tendenciesβ€”linked yesterday to a well-known white nationalist’s web site.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
