Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.
Not one House Democrat cracked.
Not one House Democrat caved.
I’m going to remember that.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán says the U.S. will provide a “financial shield” as he struggles to win reelection
Meanwhile Trump President said last week “I don’t want to hear about affordability” as health care premiums explode & food/energy prices rise.

Refusing to seat her during the pro forma sessions has been gross and petty and wrong and all that. But refusing to seat her before taking up other business in a regular session would be a much more insanely radical and unconstitutional thing to do, and Johnson has never said he'd try to do that.

AOC/Pat Ryan would give a nice NYC/non-NYC balance.
i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

Fuck these mother fuckers
Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

This has stirred up a lot of these bot-like accounts but the last point I wanted to make here is how this makes the elections that happened last week totally invisible in the “voters need to do more” narrative. They did, they went out and did the thing in droves. This is their reward.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
