American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is why democrats fail, there's enough centrists willing to sell out to the republicans on critical issues that it alienates their largest voting block, Millennials.
We want action, progress, reforms and resistance. The cruelty of the GOP cannot be tolerated.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ask your senators: “Will you vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader?”
We only need 23 Democratic or Independent senators. Let’s start counting.

Any vote that doesn't guarantee an extension to the ACA tax credits isn't a deal worth taking.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”
That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

FYI we are all currently paying Lindsey Graham’s health insurance premium.
At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

And even worse for the Rangers to have "an official sports betting app" IMO.
It's untoward to have all these sports betting ads during this #NYR game.

Super exciting game (unless you're a fan of the home team). What I find so incredible and amazing is that a hockey game will take place in this same room in just a few hours.

8 months of running for mayor under so much scrutiny and not a single outlet thought to attempt to answer the question: hey what might happen if a guy who resigned amid numerous credible accusations of sexual misconduct wins and is back in office with hundreds of female subordinates?
