According to my local food bank, $1 = 2 meals.

So a donation of $25 is 50 meals.

A little can go a long way and you *can* make a difference.

When Democrats offered a clean ONE-year extension of the tax credits—which is truly the most straightforward and common-sense thing we can do for people facing gigantic premium hikes this year—Republicans said “never, ever, ever, ever.” They called it “political terrorism.” Are you serious?

Sounds about right…

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.

And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.

The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

It’s Hoodlum ☺️ 🙏 Do what we can 🦋

I assume Schumer knows this is the end of his political career?

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Trump is offering a pardon to any criminal who tried to help him steal an election.
 
The most corrupt administration in history and Republicans won’t say a peep.

Donate to AOC. Alexandria is fighting for progressive policies that can help create social, racial, and economic justice for all. That's why she's taking $0 from corporations and lobbyists and is relying on the gras...

Just got CuckSchumer.com and redirected it for anybody that wants to donate to @aoc.bsky.social directly on ActBlue.

Absolutely correct

I believe we are going to do it again! In 24 days we are going to flip TN District 7 Blue!
Early voting begins Tuesday Tennessee! Let’s make it happen for @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Remember when Elon Musk said Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife MacKenzie Scott was destroying Western civilization by giving billions to charities for women, minorities, and marginalized groups?

After learning about his comment, she doubled her donations.

Perfect response.

She’s gonna Manchin her way into history.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.

More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.

This is example of why we can't have nice things.

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Check your ballots, Seattle! A couple years ago my signature wasn't accepted and it was easy to fix and get it counted.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

Listening to these 8 Dem Senators explain their vote convinces me that they are either idiots or liars. Either is plausible.
