I am actually going to scream. Dems just swept the Tuesday elections. Trump was boo'd for two straight minutes at the Commanders game. They were considering torching the fillibuster. Polls were consistently showing more people blamed Rs for the shutdown.

Reminder that Senator Shaheen is retiring, & there'll be a contested primary to succeed her. The candidates so far are Chris Pappas, her handpicked choice as successor who's also a moderate, & then 2 better choices: @jaredfornh.bsky.social (my personal endorsement), & @karishmaforsenate.bsky.social

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

Where…have you been the last decade trying to negotiate ANYTHING in good faith with the people in this administration? Seriously?

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Senate Reaches Deal To Reopen Government After Moderate Democrats Cave

Republicans found enough Democrats willing to drop their party's demand to extend soon-to-expire health care subsidies for millions of people.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,

not because the voters want them to,

not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…

they are caving because their DONORS want them to.

And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

So you decided to sacrifice this after all. Because no way do you believe they’ll negotiate in good faith after you give up your online leverage. Again.

I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:

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.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Disgusted with @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov right now.

You really are going to take their word that they’ll come to the table in good faith after the fact. Where have you BEEN the last decade, not to mention the last nine months. Are you serious right now? #nhpolitics #newhampshire

This should give succor to those of us on the side of justice.

Bannon is the strategist Rufo wishes he was, and he is not bullshitting here when he says that it is now or never for Trumpian fascists. That if they don't manage to consolidate stat, they are toast.

The regime is NOT doing well

Gwen Snyder is uncivil @gwensnyder.bsky.social · 3d

Nah, because Bannon's audience is not the public.

It's operatives, electeds, and donors.

His message is that the stakes are very high and that their window is very narrow.

If they want to hang on to power and avoid accountability, they need to consolidate NOW.

Just a reminder that before the ACA, insurance companies could charge hundreds of dollars in copays for an annual physical. Now, that's illegal.

The ACA isnt perfect but it is most definitely worth fighting for.

This is such an important piece. Read it.

And not just because TIME attempted to distort it into its opposite. But also for that reason, so that you can see exactly how these media are distorting voice and reality.
