I'm going to make so many calls this week I hope my phone burns its circuits out because it got so hot. Consider doing the same. Have a sensible "script" written out...so you make sense, but do it while you're pissed off. It feels better, and the person taking your message WILL feel your intensity.

YUP 🤬🤬🤬
On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

Dems cave. Once again. They got little for their efforts. More importantly, Americans get NO support on health care costs. Why even bother with these people? You win big last week and you capitulate the next.

Morning folks🌞
Im off to the @geronsociety.bsky.social annual conference in Boston today…looking forward to lots of great science

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.
November 10, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Fuck this shit!
Call your Senators if you want to save your gummies
Shutdown package includes provision to entirely kill the massive US hemp industry at the behest of Mitch McConnell and big alcohol companies. This “deal” is worse than getting nothing. Not a clean bill by any measure. Any Democratic Senator who votes for this deserves to be ousted in primary
NEW: Buried in 141-page text of the latest draft text of the Senate's ag appropriations bill is a restriction on hemp-derived THC products w/ >0.4mg per container—an effective ban on the existing market. Would go into effect 1yr from passage: www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
November 10, 2025 at 12:36 AM
OMFG…what kind of bullshit is this? Am I going to have to start hoarding gummies now?
Just got a text message saying that Congress is moving to pass a hemp ban.

👀 I don’t remember hearing about that.

Call the Capitol Switchboard:
202-224-3121 and ask for your senators.
Tell them: Don't punish responsible consumers, farmers, and small businesses. Vote NO on the product ban!
