#beach #dogs #photography a moment of calm, perhaps before a storm.
It didn’t go far enough.
Time to ReWoke.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

A ratio of 1000:9 is rather awful. It is almost as if you have pissed off all of BlueSky. Maybe you're doing better on that fascist xesspool?

Helping Granite Staters by allowing their ACA premiums to skyrocket?

This is arrogant. You think we are stupid.

No, that is simply a lie. The Senate will vote down any bill offered up by the Democrats, and you know it. Do you think we are this stupid senator?

Shame on you.
POTUS, Speaker Johnson and Congressional Republicans remain the barrier to addressing health care costs.

For the first time, we've secured a guaranteed vote on this crisis and if they continue to ignore the needs of the American people, they'll be held accountable next November.

This is either utterly clueless, or Senator Shaheen thinks we are all idiots, or she simply prefers fascism to even the mildest of social democratic reforms.
My Republican colleagues—including President Trump—have repeatedly told voters they'd address health care costs once the government was open.

We've secured a vote and now it's time to hold them accountable.

How about we start by evicting Schumer?
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.

We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

As usual it is a Lucy Football Event.
Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!
Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you
Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Why isn’t this all over the news?

Big moment on CNN with Jake Tapper the NLRB whistleblower just dropped serious allegations about a DODGE Russia information breach. This is a serious national security threat!

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.

Endless projection. I hate him.
