So now that man thinks we should take the funding for the ACA providing subsidies based on household size and income to lower premiums and rather than have the subsidies, give the money to the people so they can use it to apply to their premiums so the govt stops funding health insurance companies.

Finished. Absolute must read for those who supported her and more importantly, those who abstained from voting. My support for her has skyrocketed. Just an absolute epic fumble by the American people not electing the most qualified person to ever run for the office of president.

“Why do I attack Democrats and not Republicans?”

“Republicans are honest about how much they hate me”

“A few democrats pretend to like me but casually disappoint me”

Trump demanded Republicans abolish the filibuster to open the government, end mail-in ballots, and vote for voter ID. They refused, showing the first shift in their sycophancy. Not every fight ends in victory, but some crack the armor making future fights much easier. Don’t fall into the apathy trap
Democrats had zero leverage in this fight. The entire reason for an extended shutdown was to bring about exposure. Trump and MAGA were exposed for their disdain for people on SNAP benefits. KBJ exposed Trump for unconstitutionally misusing SNAP and school lunch funding.
Every democratic senator who voted against the CR comes out looking like a fighter, but they’re truly just standing behind the eight who voted to get SNAP back to the people and government employees back to work. Republicans were never going to bring back the ACA enhanced tax credits.

If you were not impacted by the government shutdown and you’re screaming that you won’t vote for dems in the midterms because they “caved” by voting to open the government, you are a large part of the problem as to where we are in American politics.

A few years after Uber began and Lyft started, but forced drivers to put a pink mustache on their grill, myself and friends took an Uber from Footsies to Chinatown; the route being the infamous zany 110 freeway. The driver was a a Russian meth-head. Moral of the story, always take the mustache ride.

When Uber first began, I called my very first ride. Pickup near a bread cafe in the Arts District on Santa Fe in a gray Camry. I reluctantly wandered to a gray Camry, opened the back door and entered the backseat where a woman was breastfeeding. Moral of the story, don’t drive cars similar to Ubers.

I’m at 23 days until the election. I supported Kamala in her race for the US Senate, her run in the 2020 Democratic primary, and her 2024 presidential run. Reading this book, let me tell you, I will support her until the wheels fall off @kamalaharris.com

A message for MAGA voters losing their SNAP and other aid yet still support dear leader cuz for them they’re still “owning the libs.” This lib’s health insurance went up $175 a month cuz your lawmakers let Biden’s advanced tax credits expire. For every dollar it went up, i’m donating to food banks.

I grew up in a broken home from age two. My dad paid no child support for years, while my mom worked in a snack bar at May Company department store making $1.65 an hr. She chose not to accept govt aid, because she was indoctrinated to believe she shouldn’t. This is why I support Food Banks and SNAP.

I’ll go first
Report this if you personally know someone who receives or received SNAP benefits and voted for Trump

OMW to cast this vote and hopefully help save our democracy and the check and balances our founders established fearing we would experience an untethered tyrant #YesOn50 #Prop50 #California #Vote

Remember, every dollar you spend on yourself this month for a new hat, tee, shoes. Try to match that money to Feeding America if you can. We should be blacking out corporate America—albeit small business—but if we do splurge, make sure to share that with a food bank. Much love to all of you.

Our health insurance went up $180 a month for 2026 because Republicans let Biden’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits expire and only $180 because we live in California. Trump claims he makes things more affordable for Americans, but truth is, he steals from us to build his Kleptocracy.
November 1, 2025 at 9:37 PM
For years, Republicans have convinced their voters Dems always try to give everything away to their constituents. Now, in the the midst of a Republican caused govt shutdown, Republicans are saying the govt is remaining closed because Dems are trying to spike health insurance rates. How dumb are you.

Plumbing company we used back in June for a new tankless water heater just thanked me immensely for referring them a job, because not only have the prices of the water heaters increased, fewer people are calling for service. These are the initial signs we will start to see before it gets very bad.
