#2: I'd bet good money that, behind the scenes, Amy Klobuchar was orchestrating & approving this cave-in. Like Chuck Schumer, she didn't vote for it, (They only needed 8 votes and had them.) but she was part of the group that had been planning this for a few weeks. Amy acts centrist; votes rightward

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

Good news for these senators is they won’t need to fly to Washington anymore once their terms are up
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.

Called and left messages for @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov asking them to hold firm on the ACA
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.
USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November. Follow live updates.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
