In the midst of a 40+ day Republican shutdown with major flight delays and being short 3,000 air traffic controllers, our INSANE President is ENCOURAGING ATCs to quit heading into the holiday season.

Trump is taking a wrecking ball to our air safety infrastructure.
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

I know probably a half dozen people (maybe more) who got married for health insurance. I cannot tell you how fucked up that is when you think about it for more than 10 seconds.

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK.

Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop.

I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

Reminder: I need to get a lotto ticket. It feels as good a use of my time/money as spending 2 weeks unpaid writing a grant proposal at the moment.
Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"
“Um well there aren’t even any Senate Dem Press releases saying they support the deal”

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.

They don't need to be in these positions anymore.

They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.

Demand more and better, folks.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

You’re trash @shaheen.senate.gov and this will be your legacy
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Reporter: If they block ACA subsidies, will you vote against government funding in January?

Shaheen: That’s certainly an option

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Feels like every time average Americans vocally align with progressives (Mamdani, AOC, Bernie), elected Democrats stick their fingers in their ears to ensure they ignore what the voters who hired them for their jobs actually want.

Can't be overstated what a disaster this is going to be.

They'll be blamed for everything and achieved nothing.
They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
