@democrats.org think their support is locked in from those of us who feel compelled to vote for them because they’re the only alternative to GOP corruption and cruelty. We need new options.

When they’ve still got their good healthcare and their millions of dollars, the rest of us just don’t matter.

Happy donors, happy Dems

Meanwhile, Donald Trump just pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Sydney Powell, and dozens of people who tried to steal the 2020 election.

Let’s swing our support to DSA. We can’t depend on the Democrats to protect us or to elect party leaders who are willing to fight.

Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.

If @democrats.senate.gov cave on this tonight and destroy the ACA…

and if @schumer.senate.gov can’t control his caucus….

I will immediately be joining and campaigning for the DSA.

@murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov help your party understand the consequences of this decision.

I am thinking of all the people who are suffering with long COVID, like you have, who you are condemning to bankruptcy and worse with this feckless vote.

But at least you’ll have great government healthcare for the rest of your life, right?

You are making the whole shutdown pointless by caving to Republicans just as public opinion was swinging against them and DEMANDING NOTHING IN RETURN!

Shame on you for refusing to fight for the people of this country. This helps no one.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

This deal is rotten! Do not cave and bail Republicans out of this mess they have made. Regular people are beginning to understand it is the GOP making them suffer. Why would @democrats.senate.gov give them cover now?

Rep Yassamin Anasari has set up a table and a sign saying "Mike Jonhnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files, CHANGE MY MIND" outside Johnson's office.

GenX does NOT get enough credit for taking the sweatshirt mainstream (extra points for favorite niche bands).

I think prices are *part* of it - and may be a large reason why his support is cratering on the right - but I don’t think it’s what is driving the passion from independents and the left.

Yeah - inflation is not what inspired those wild cheers during Mamdani’s speech. It’s not what is driving people into the streets with whistles and costumes to protect their neighbors. Often, it’s-the-economy that drives votes, but these times are different.

Pope Leo calls for β€˜deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. β€œMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."
