You can request a DM w/a short reason.
I allowed DMs from the start but for 6 months but became inundated with single women in their 30's who tended not to post anything wanting to chat, endlessly. I'm here for the posts & replies, NOT chatting.

I'd like for someone in the dem caucus to tell us which senators were real no votes and which ones voted no because they were allowed to.

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

As an anti-fascist, I am NOT beyond protesting @schumer.senate.gov and his 8 just because they are democrats! Fuck them all, shame them all and move this out to the streets from behind our keyboards. It's long overdue, I'm sick of not being heard on this and let's gain the momentum we prove to have!

With thousands of flights CANCELLED, I guess there will be some flight crews laid off. The shutdown affects everyone.

(Except, maybe, politicians & ICE thugs>)

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

@schumer.senate.gov Please hold your Dem caucus together and do not give into GOP demands. Hold strong. The GOP will renege on any promises, if a deal is passed. They have done it before and will do it again. Their word means nothing now.

Senate Democrats are about to sell us out.

Remember that when they text you for money.
“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

We haven’t seen Americans, desperately hungry and needing to feed their families, lining up at food banks like this since…

Well…

Since trumps 1st administration.

Trump intentionally starving Americans is a crime against humanity. Every other President--including Trump in his first term--ensured SNAP benefits during a govt shutdown were paid so that Americans in need could eat. But not Trump. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-inte...

ICE being paid? From what? Politicians being paid? I wonder.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers?

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
