i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

So just pay people to buy health care? Like I go to the dentist and you give me the money to get my tooth pulled? Like everybody? Sounds kinda socialist.
Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

You're high off the No Kings demonstration but don't know what to do next? Decolonize your mind. Practice active anti-racism. Talk to your friends about how you can commit concrete acts that dismantle white supremacy. Think about how you interact with Black people. Unpack your internal biases.

So many of you get your authority by being white. That's it. You don't know any more than I do. You're not smarter than I am. You're just white and that grants you a level of authority that I am not granted without proving myself.
You're trading in white supremacy. You should think about that.

Listen, over 300+ people showed up for a No Kings protest in ANGOLA, INDIANA. There is a whole part of Indiana waiting to be activated. We have never been all red. So what are we going to do with that information? I wish I could say. But I have Hope.
Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.
