We don‘t know if there is still hope, but please call your Senator immediately if they are on this list and demand they do not vote for the CR unless it includes an extension of the healthcare subsidies.

🚨 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.

Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...
Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

A democratic socialist wasn’t supposed to be able to win a major office like New York City mayor over the objections of billionaires.

Yet Zohran Mamdani and the movement behind him built a campaign far stronger than the oligarchs and their unlimited money.

How Medicaid’s New Work Requirement Will Work
Poor Americans will face new challenges to enroll, and states will have to build new bureaucracies.

In case you were wondering, with this regime the point is generally about cruelty and/or making the rich even richer. Often the two go together.

This is about as sick and cruel as it gets. This policy is in place to stop grocery stores from OVERCHARGING people using SNAP.

The Trump administration, while it illegally withholds SNAP benefits, is telling grocers they can't offer discounts to people on SNAP.
crampell.bsky.social Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 8d
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Our confirmed count stands at 8.1 million participants worldwide for yesterday’s No Kings protest. Thank you to everyone who helped verify the numbers through our submission website. While some MAGAs attempted to submit false or misleading data (such as reporting “one person” for major cities)

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.
