It will feel so wonderful if we manage to get you primaried. It's funny that you had a whole essay written up to defend your vote, because you knew you were wrong. Now you want to spin the narrative, but you don't have a solution. What bills are you authoring to address any of this?

Hot take but every time I mention my Patreon you don't need to tell me how broke you are. It's for people with money who like supporting comics enough that everyone else can keep enjoying them too. If you're broke I don't want your money. Please eat.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

What we're looking at is an evil political version of the Globe Trotters vs The Generals. The Democrats are doing what their corporate sponsors are paying them to do.

2026 should be primary season. We don't just need more blue seats, we need to clean house. This wasn't just the work of 8 people with safe seats. This was a collective betrayal by the Democratic party. They want to campaign on ACA for the midterms. They're going to let people die to have a platform.

YOU urge US to stay in the fight? 🤣Unbelievable. I think everyone up for re-election in 2026 should be primaried. You think we don't see the shell game? Why? Because you used 8 people that don't need re-election to backstab the American people? Could have been champions, now you're extortionists.

The Real Reason Dems Caved on Shutdown Will Make You Want to Scream Turns out, senators were only thinking of holding onto their own power.

It's not just the ones who voted yes. The Democratic party has decided that instead of fighting for us, and using that to win the midterms, it would be better to let us lose so they can promise to fight for us during the midterms...

Let's call @democrats.senate.gov bluff and DEMAND they remove @schumer.senate.gov as senate minority leader IMMEDIATELY. Either he coordinated making sure the votes came from Senators not up for reelection or he's lost control of his caucus.

Either way, he's a failure. He has to go.

You're orchestrating it. I don't understand how the media is saying you reached a deal with Republicans though, Democrats gained nothing, and you still caved.

Not my party, fuck that noise, fuck you, and fuck the Democrats you're using to sell out the American people.

The Democratic party is done. It really is just us fighting with each other over which corrupt group of elites get to take advantage of us. The Democratic party showed us that today, they're not for the people, not really.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

A U.S. citizen was arrested and detained in Gresham, OR after photographing ICE agents and their vehicle plates. Agents refused to identify themselves, broke her car window, and held her for several hours with no legal cause.

Yet another example of Trump shooting the US in the foot. Our abdication of moral leadership in international institutions like the UN, WHO, G20, and ICC only serves to allow our adversaries the opportunity to expand their influence on the world stage while we suffer.

Notice how they keep pushing the line of what's acceptable further and further back. They started in parking lots and construction sites, now they're raiding day cares and office buildings. They're kicking in doors to people's homes. Where do we really draw the line?
