Once again, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was right. She warned us about “Vichy Dems” during Trump 1.0. I did not want to believe her. Now I believe her.

there is no reason that AIPAC would want to buy an end to the shutdown, but unconditional support for Israel as it plunges off a right-wing cliff and chronic Senate brain in the face of fascism are both kinds of toxic nostalgia which powerful, elderly morons wrap around themselves like warm blankets

my anger is not going away in a few weeks. it is insulting for these senators to horsetrade so that ppl retiring or not running until 2030 can vote no while they find just enough yes votes to do what the GOP wants.
i will be angry for longer than a few weeks and i don't appreciate the condescension.

Trump should just go do whatever the hell he wants from here forward. No way for voters to stop him, since those in current Democrat leadership all see their primary jobs as being Trump enablers.

"You just need to vote harder and give the democrats more power."
We do exactly that, and Democrats still failed us. So what now?

my out of pocket cost: $473
what my insurance paid: $4258

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

How knuckle-dragging stupid is Durbin? Let's see...
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Today is a great day to make sure you cancel ANY recurring donation to ANY sitting Democratic senator and especially to ANY of the party committees.
Yes, they will notice. Yes, they should all be afraid. Send a signal that they'll be held collectively responsible for this utter betrayal. 🧵
