Paying off senators that were lawfully being investigated. Confirming no more ACA credits, quadrupling premiums for families like mine. Blanket banning hemp products, torpedoing an entire industry and agriculture sector overnight because the alcohol and tobacco lobby bribed the right people. Fuckers

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social, for some of us, this was never about the optics of making healthcare an issue. This was about preventing a premium spike for 20 million Americans. The private insurance system is broken. This is the time we need to be screaming from the rooftops: Medicare for All!

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

This was helpful. The Senate only voted to have a _debate to vote on this C.R._ "The actual C.R. has not been voted on yet." But "it does signal that they would vote 'yes'" on this C.R. that lacks ACA tax credit extension. AND THEN the House MUST OPEN to approve it before sending send it to Trump.

One key thing that we all should be remembering right now is that disordered personalities DO NOT CHANGE. Trump will not change. Fetterman will not change. There is no way to convince or mollify Stephen Miller. The only option is to organize to remove disordered people from power forever.

It is going to take a MOVEMENT. No one should pay any insurance premiums or out-of-pocket healthcare expenses until they implement #MedicareForAll. The national cost savings per annum for this would be more than $450Billlion. And the quality of care would improve precipitously. WE NEED CHANGE.

So Democrats get: 1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays 2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail 3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
