💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

When you see her celebrating and working as she wants to do, then you can believe this. Otherwise, it's just another Dem pipe dream.

Who is this Angus King fool?
Angus King: “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work. It actually gave him more power."
I guess we should be grateful he wasn't around to cast deciding votes during World War II.

Rightwingnuts who need an explanation how insurance works, are too dense to understand they need insurance. Especially health insurance. I know quite a few people who haven’t had fire insurance claims. I don’t know anyone over 25-30 who hasn’t had health insurance claims. Or needed coverage.
My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

This is what a true Democrat sounds like. A true representative of the people. The Democratic Party has just created suicide. I don’t see any reason to trust any of them, except for Mandan, AOC, Bernie and fellow social Democrats. The Schumerites are worthless. Fetterman is a disgusting Trumper.

Even though they’re simple-minded and disgusting, Repubs at least say what they think.
The vile Schumer has no moral compass and willingly lies while he sleeps with the devil, spouting platitudes that he has no intention of upholding.

-Chuck Schumer refuses to endorse the Democrat Mamdani.
-Mamdani and the Democrats have a huge Election Day Tuesday.
-Today, Schumer reacts to this by readying a surrender to the repulsive Republicans.
So tell me: What's the difference between Chuck Schumer and a repulsive Republican?

They all now share one thing - the same stain on their ethics and integrity that Fetterman started with his own brand of cowardice and idiocy. How can they be such hopeless, clueless fools? How much did their bank accounts increase?

I was certainly fooled that I didn't know Chuck Schumer's alternate name is Mitch McConnell. I should have known by the similarity in their slimy lack of integrity. And Schumer is looking more and more like an old, dried-up turtle also.
We need progressives like Mr. Momdani and AOC more than ever.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

We all know #MAGAts are scared of women, men, intelligence, gays, needles except for dope, schools, peace, honesty, mirrors, sex, "other" people, etc. - pretty much because they're cowards.
But why are they scared of little kids? Why do they want to hurt children? Why are MAGAts so despicable?

I was suddenly diagnosed with colon cancer over a year ago, had emergency surgery that removed the cancer & part of my colon, w/o that immediate surgery to remove the cancer I’d have died. I’m totally free of cancer w/o having any treatment. Just a $300K bill paid by insurance.
Fuck Trump.
Fuck Trump.
This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

The Old Man of the Organ Mountains looking down forever on his beloved valley and Las Cruces, NM from Soledad Canyon. I couldn't find any other reference to this but others must have seen it also, I came across it again at the right moment. Someday I'll get a better photo of it.

An influx of old MAGAts fits FL perfectly, the state will just become more dysfunctional which hardly seems possible. I made a mistake of spending some time there - 9 mo's seemed like 5Y. Hilarious but tiresome, seeing "earlybird" diners fighting over seating. At 4PM. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

TCITM - the check's in the mail. He will shut down USPS and the banks before it's delivered.
Of course, any check he might try to write would bounce like a watermelon on a trampoline during an earthquake...after a bomb hit.
