If better not see a single ask for money from @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov. I haven’t attended every protest and voted against R’s last week for you all to fucking cave in exchange for NOTHING. Fuck you all.

Perhaps better headline: Trump preemptively pardons everyone planning on election subversion in 2026 and 2028. www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-p...
@aoc.bsky.social - primary @schumer.senate.gov, like yesterday. We need new leadership. And find someone to primary @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social. Feckless and spineless, both of them.
Traitors to the American people. Resign and let Dems with a spine actually show you how to lead.
Centrist Dems CAVE For a MAGA "Inshallah" That Will Never Happen Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus? With @muellershewrote.com thelefthook.substack.com/p/centrist-d...

Cowards and sellouts, every single one. We’ll remember come the next election & send you into oblivion. Hassan and Durbin can fuck off into retirement. Hope your airline lobbyist payouts were worth it.
Here are the 8 Democratic senators who just voted to move forward with an agreement to end the shutdown: Catherine Cortez Masto Dick Durbin John Fetterman Maggie Hassan Tim Kaine Angus King (I) Jacky Rosen Jeanne Shaheen

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
Literally for any @democrats.senate.gov who cave and vote for this bullshit, leaving tens of millions of Americans fucked on healthcare.
Ask me how to unmotivate D voters from showing up to the midterms and I’ll tell you to do what @schumer.senate.gov & the @democrats.senate.gov are doing now by bailing out R’s again instead of letting them wallow in their unpopularity and pressure as shutdown drags on. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
@democrats.senate.gov better not cave on holding out for ACA subsidies, otherwise they’ll own this shutdown and they better not ask for anything from their base if they vote with R’s. Fuck them, and fight, or be prepared to be primaried next year. #dems

We need this to penetrate public consciousness. Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to “get a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.
"Faced with this dilemma—where do you get a trillion dollars quick?—OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies, like every great Ayn Randian self-created entrepreneur, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps." prospect.org/2025/11/07/o...

Every new report on the consequences of Trump’s dismantling of USAID is more horrifying than the last. One model estimates it's caused 600K deaths — two-thirds of them children. We can’t give Trump a blank check to keep destroying life-saving programs.

Congressmen get paid $174,000 a year, plus benefits. Mike Johnson & the GOP have only worked 12 days out of the last 103. If you or I did that, we wouldn’t have a $174,000 job anymore. They’re not working for us, & we shouldn’t accept this from our elected officials. #GOPShutdown #shutdown #SNAP
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...
