Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Call your Senators no matter how they voted but especially if they are one of the 8 turncoats
And stay on the line to tell the turncoat staff that they should stop working for someone who would sell out the people

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

I've already called and emailed twice. Call your Dem senators and tell them to take action to preserve the ACA premium subsidies now! Our power to protect it is now, not later! If you have Republican Senators, call them just to taunt them and tell them no one likes them.
I'm going to try to call Fetterman's offices as much as humanly possible today. It probably won't do anything, but it will make me feel better. That man is a disgrace.

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Hi, this is me. 70% of my reliable teaching income next year will be eaten up by my health insurance, which I need because I'm chronically ill.
I hope those 8 dems who voted yes never have a moment's peace.

Kara is a New Jersey resident who is seeing her healthcare costs skyrocket without the help of ACA premium tax credits.
Stories like Kara's are why we need to find a solution that will give families the healthcare relief they need and end this shutdown.

But im feeling levels of unbridled rage that I have not felt in years after watching the democrats negate their biggest win in years with a deal that gives the regime an even bigger victory

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
