As far as the choice between starving people (SNAP) and depriving them of healthcare. Thing is, we can band together and feed people. We can't give them healthcare.

@senangusking.bsky.social you caved for nothing! A "promise" of a vote that will go nowhere. All the pain for no gain. Stupid stupid strategy and now our wannabe dictator knows you all will *always* surrender. Coward.

Absolutely correct, huge damage.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

@schumer.senate.gov cowards and useless leaders, anyone who votes for this and you Chuck for allowing it
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

So all that drama and hunger and pain, just for them to cave on the promise of a vote on ACA? Seems real real stupid.

He is determined to cause pain. Anyone blaming this on Dems is delusional. He is literally going to the supreme Court and threatening states if they try to feed people.
USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November. Follow live updates.

This is one of the greatest and almost forgotten tragedies of this administration. And for so little money, now we just throw that around to Argentina and ballrooms. It's disgusting.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

An enterprising journalist that could prove that his aides and advisors are showing Trump fake shit that led to him signing EOs and making policy decisions would be a huge deal. Maybe the biggest story in the history of the Presidency? Bigger than Nixon. Too bad the newspapers quit being newspapers

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

This is incredibly worrying for the future of medicine and education.
Graduate loan caps mean fewer doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers, & lawyers from working-class families.
Dreams destroyed & futures blocked.
This is how Trump’s GOP hoards opportunity for the rich & shuts the rest of us out.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
