The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. Trump is so dangerous when he’s backed into a corner and he’s been moving battleships closer to Venezuela. This could escalate in a very bad way.

The guy literally said he doesn’t want to hear about affordability, and their solution is to send him on an affordability tour. Let’s see how this goes.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

Schumer needs to be replaced as minority leader. He’s clearly not up for this fight and failed all of us last night.

I have friends and family who are SUFFERING in very real and concrete ways due to this shutdown. Caving now while extracting nothing is a betrayal of all they have sacrificed. For shame.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

This isn’t accurate. It was 8, not 10

The American People: “Chuck Schumer, we have provided you with all the leverage you need to win this shutdown fight, once and for all.”

Chuck Schumer *flushing the leverage down the toilet*: “What?”

So many people have been fighting so hard. Canvassing, protesting, calling, writing. So many Federal employees have sacrificed in hopes that you were finally going to stand up for every day Americans and push back on Trump.

8 Senators threw away everything. You couldn't stop them?

Please keep this in mind.

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

It’s over. Too late .he failed as a leader.

Evergreen.

Exactly! I’m so pissed too. This Republican Party does nothing in good faith. They’ve tried to overturn the ACA dozens of times and haven’t offered any type of alternative. There’s no way in Hell they’re going to support meaningful legislation to extend it now.

THEN WHY WERE WE DOING THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Pathetic

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social you have no idea how many of us will leave the party if you cave on this. Vote NO! Stand strong for our healthcare!!

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

It would be nice if the US had a system of government that didn’t allow the president to arbitrarily tariff whoever he wanted, except we very explicitly do, and since no one seems to care or react, then I guess the rules of our government no longer exist

People think if you’re disabled your family must support you

They don’t understand how many folks are on their own

How many have families who can’t support them for various reasons

Everyone deserves help

Having your basic needs met is not “frivolous”

Lacking family shouldn’t be a death sentence

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

RFK Jr. says vaccines don’t save lives. He’s wrong Now RFK Jr. is claiming vaccines don’t actually save lives. Here’s the math to show what he gets wrong.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

This doesn’t mean we back down or show weakness. It means we keep fighting and openly caring about other humans, the welfare of animals and our environment.
