As we close out this year’s #TalkLikeAPirateDay, it’s not too late to grab one (or all) of my pirate publications! You can cruise the Chesapeake Bay, prowl the mid-Atlantic coast with William Kidd, or sail from New England to the Caribbean with Black Sam Bellamy! 🏴☠️📚
Taking a break. See y’all in a few weeks. ✌🏻

The next person who tells me, someone who just went 6 weeks without pay, that I should be *grateful* the Dems caved is getting blocked.
Stop pitting Feds and SNAP recipients against those who will die without the ACA subsidies!

My spouse and I both just went 6 weeks without pay for NOTHING and you want ME to send YOU, the party that FAILED us, money? 💀
The DNC literally had the audacity to ask for my donation. Get bent 😂

If they honestly think everyone is going to spend money & travel during the holidays because the government reopened, they’re really effing stupid. Most of us will still be playing catch up from the last 6 weeks. And those that aren’t now have to worry about their insurance premiums tripling. 🤬

A Burger King customer insists on misgendering and berating an employee, then lodges a complaint against the employee for standing up for herself.
Many of these workers aren’t making enough to feed themselves, yet they have to feed bigots who claim to be “first amendment lawyers”.

they reopened the government for a promise to do this over again in a month
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.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Way too many people out there thinking this is some clever plot to make the GOP “own” the end of healthcare credits when it really just fits a long pattern of Dems giving up with nothing to show for it. Maybe I’m getting cynical, but I don’t believe this will do anything but make millions suffer. 🤷🏻♀️

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

So @kaine.senate.gov voicemail is open again, so I’ve left a message for him as well. Thanks for trying to pit federal workers, SNAP recipients, and the millions who rely on healthcare credits against each other! We won’t forget this. 🤬
Of course @kaine.senate.gov is a coward who doesn’t have voicemail. But I’ve left a message for @markwarner.bsky.social to HOLD THE LINE!

My family has been without our entire income for 40 days. It has been overwhelming.
We are ALSO willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are ALSO NOT willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
