Trump’s DOJ have stated they will continue to fight against fighting SNAP.

The USDA has reiterated its BAN on grocery stores offering discounts to SNAP recipients who can’t afford food.

It’s a good thing the Dems didn’t do something nonsensical like cave for no reason…

This is wild: Trump’s ICE detained a UK journalist hours after he urged US leaders to be “America First” & not “Israel First.”

DHS tweeted he supported terrorism, but his only charge was a visa overstay.

As in: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

Sami Hamdi was detained after Islamophobic influencers called for him to be deported. Turns out the Trump admin revoked his visa, and then arrested him for overstaying his visa.

Former House speaker / Trump adviser newt Gingrich, saying on the record what we’d heard so much on background from those others:

“Look at the rage on the left. It doesn’t sound like a victory party to me. All you have to do is look at the reaction on the left to figure out who won this shutdown…”

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.
November 11, 2025 at 12:21 AM
The Republicans will miraculously vote for the ACA in December, according to the corrupt Senate Democrats.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Any Senate Democrat who is not publicly and explicitly calling for Schumer's resignation as the Leader is complicit.
The reason the Dems get away with “don’t blame me, those 8 voted for it” is because there are people who genuinely believe that’s how things work. It’s incredibly depressing.

The bigger fight? Buddy, I die without health care and your pals in the Senate — none of whom will ever go without access to lifesaving medical care — told me they were gonna fight so my premiums don't go up 50%. And then they folded.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will
