I don't endorse anything, not even my own posts. Is this real? Rich people aren't coming to save you.

unfortunately every rich person is busy currently trying to keep the most likeable politician in ages from become mayor of new york
if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
Can't stress this enough: rich people aren't coming to save you.

Read the replies — just crazy, income-devouring jumps in what people on the exchanges will pay for health coverage. I do hope Republicans and Dems who have made this possible understand the tsunami of electoral rage that’s about to hit them
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

The whole "creator economy" exists because of Obamacare. The end of the ACA will crater that. And I'm not just talking about influencers, I'm talking about artists on Etsy, the micro-economies that sprouted up around cons and fests. These are the small business owners of millennials and zoomers.

Occupying army behaviour
Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Hearing from more people after this went out.
"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

This is the only post that says he's coming from the airport. I'm assuming it's correct, but why do other reporters just seem to not know this?
The three holdouts voted aye. Just waiting on Cornyn to get here from the airport. Drama over.
