Confession: I ordered it for myself for the first time this year because life is dreadful and I’m unreasonably excited about it.

You sold us out. We know you wanted this. Get out of the way and let the rest of us fight. You’re a traitor.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

These negotiations are β€œshould we starve people?

Or let them die and become disabled from disease and treatable illness and lack of health care?

How should we destroy people?”

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Californians do not cave--do NOT vote with Schumer and the Dem spineless weasel caucus!

Neither of my CA senators are accepting voicemail and offices are closed. Padilla is probably sound, but I don’t trust Schiff.

Snapshot of 500mg GPH anomaly pattern as depicted by the ECMWF ensemble early next week. It shows an extreme ridge over western North America, and an extreme trough over eastern North America.

A high-amplitude flow pattern, characterized by near-record strength ridging and troughing (respectively) over the western and eastern U.S. and a very wavy jet stream, will bring a progression of notable weather to North America in the coming days.

Three of my neighbors were forcibly illegally detained over night by masked ICE agents who refused to show ID, my youngest kid died of measles, and I can’t afford to feed the other two, but at least I sleep easy at night knowing the damn Jew at the bagel shop has to say β€œMerry Christmas” this year.

Literally had the realization in the shower one morning when I was miserable to my core, and upended every facet of my life shortly afterward. No regrets.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live
