Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown
Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.
This is not a deal β it's an empty promise.
Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.
Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because youβve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since youβve been Democratic leader. Either way, itβs on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

Most importantly, they were human beings.
And they were murdered.

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect peopleβs credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums donβt surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyoneβs health.

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170
billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.
Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsβ and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.
Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately.
The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.
A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

Four of Mike Johnson's top priorities are:
1. Helping the super-rich get super-richer
2. Blocking the swearing-in of a duly elected Democrat
3. Denying food to the poor
4. Covering up for sex predators who rape children.
I guess there's no time left in his day to help everyday Americans.
