LOL but we are supposed to believe these people will storm the polls to vote Democrats out and their faves in!

Oh ok!!
WA voter turnout generally was incredibly low

you can have nice things if you just bother to show up

hell, you don't even need to show up, this is a mail in ballot state, you just have to walk your ass to the post box
Washington’s 2025 voter turnout tracks among lowest on record
King County expecting about 45% participation despite fewer than 20% of voters having returned ballots so far.

I need those ACA subsidies.

My neighbors need food.

I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.

Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.

Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

So remember when Jackson made a "temporary administrative stay", and everyone was freaking out ?

This was why. It lit a fire on the 1st circuits ass to rule, and SCOTUS was reasonably confident that they weren't going to approve their stay.

Now Trump has 48 hours to appeal, or the stay expires.
SNAP update: the First Circuit has declined to stay the district court ruling and Justice Jackson has now set out this briefing schedule at SCOTUS. In the meantime her administrative stay remains in place so government currently doesn't have to make the full payments.

VOTERS who decided that Harris didn't earn their vote set up this Sophie's Choice.

Not Democrats. Voters are the ones who entrusted Republicans to their healthcare access in November despite being warned that they would do everything possible to destroy it.

But otherwise, spot on.

The Venn diagram of people who didn't vote in 2024, told us we wouldn't be able to vote in the last election we just destroyed Republicans in and are now saying Democrats are just as bad as Republicans who sued to starve babies is a PERFECT circle.

You balancing an eviction notice with no SNAP & you have to work and not get paid.

What is YOUR direct pain/sacrifice on holding out?

My only problem w/Dems today is that they don’t stand in front of a 2024 exit poll and remind y’all demanding MAJORITY moves after putting them in the minority is

Gonna add "still watch WWE" to this with their COO and his family taking pictures with POTUS.
Some of us still shop at Target and Amazon, stream Hulu, jam R. Kelly, plan Black Friday runs, watch the NFL, and can’t go a day without talking to MAGA relatives yet we expect hundreds of thousands of workers to keep sacrificing their paychecks during a shutdown. But we screaming about caving.

This isn't about Schumer (who voted NO btw), this is about getting the Republicans on the record as voting against ACA during the health care enrollment period.

Senate GOP is throwing Mike Johnson & House Republicans under the bus. Senate Democrats are leveraging that to get people back to work:
They were already blaming the Republicans.

This is not some super secret brainstorm by Schumer, it’s cowardice in confronting the GOP and standing tall.

It’s a repeat of March’s CR vote and now they’re off the hook again.

Yeah . . . if you're still talking to your MAGA relatives and planning on spending the holidays with them, miss me *entirely* with your "Dems are cowards!" bullshit - because, from where I'm sitting, the true cowards are you 101st Chairborne keyboard kommandos.

Again, fuck off.
Many of the same white voters who are screaming at Chuck Schumer and angry at the 8 Senators that voted to end the shutdown, are STILL going to have Thanksgiving and Christmas with their MAGA family members.

So you're more mad at Schumer than the Dems who "caved" on preventing the lapsing of Biden's "enhanced" premiums expiring?

Y'all should have voted for the Black woman then.

YES. YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT THE VOTE FOR HARRIS NOV 5. SHE WOULD HAVE KEPT THE GOV OPEN. YOU DID NOT CARE SO SHOVE IT.
Sen. Shaheen is right, and folks need to recognize that.
Shaheen: "All those people who oppose this agreement -- staying in a shutdown mode was not getting us anywhere. They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible. That's Trump, Johnson, & the Republicans who have blocked every attempt to get healthcare. We need to be working together."

Folks mad about centrists caving and im here to remind yall that Republicans control all three branches of Government. Dick Durbin should’ve never been the Senator to have to make this decision in the first place and im saying this as an Illinois native.

Do not let the bros and leftists distance themselves from Fetterman. This is who they pushed for and got elected with the backing and full throated support of Bernie Sanders.
Im also here to remind yall that JOHN FETTERMAN was hand selected by Bernie Sanders and won his primary over a Black millennial gay man who was already working in congress because leftists couldnt vote for a Black gay Millennial man born in 1990——

Republicans voted to originally kill the ACA subsidies in their Bad Betrayal Bill. 100% of Democrats voted against it. It still passed.

Republicans voted to completely repeal the ACA 70+ times (failing thanks to Dem solidarity).

Your healthcare costs skyrocketing is ENTIRELY due to the GOP.
