Don't let these Democratic Senators get away with this. Healthcare premiums will skyrocket if the subsidies aren't extended, and millions of Americans will suffer if the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid aren't overturned.

Do not let them rest.

#PoliticalRevolution
Eight Democrats Cave to the GOP’S Budget. Don't let them forget. On Sunday, November 9th, after 40 days of government shutdown, 8 Democratic senators buckled and agreed to a “compromise” bill to reopen the government. While it reinstates funding for SNAP and guarantees backpay for furloughed federal workers, the primary issue that Democrats fought for, extending ACA healthcare subsidies, was not secured. The only concession by the GOP is a guaranteed vote on them in December. The bill only funds the government through January 30th, 2026. Given that Congress is Republican majority across the board, it is highly unlikely the subsidies will pass, rendering the Democrats’ stand completely fruitless. Political Revolution logo and website are on the bottom. Visit pol-rev.com The senators. The following 8 senators have failed Americans. They must answer for this. Do not let them rest - call, email, snail mail them. Make sure that come their time for re-election, they are primaried out of the race. Jeanne Shaheen - New Hampshire - Retiring in 2026 Maggie Hassan - New Hampshire - Re-election in 2030 Dick Durbin - Illinois - Retiring in 2026 Tim Kaine - Virginia - Re-election 2030 Angus King - Maine - Re-election in 2030 Jacky Rosen - Nevada - Re-election in 2030 Catherine Cortez Masto - Nevada - Re-election in 2028 John Fetterman - Pennsylvania - Re-election in 2028 Chuck Schumer is just as guilty as he is reported to have orchestrated the deal. He is up for re-election in 2028. What now? The bill has yet to pass, as the Senate has a max of 30 hours to debates any amendments to the bill and then vote to pass. Voting began at 6pm on Monday. If it passes, it goes to the House of Reps. They will need to vote to approve the bill or offer amendments. If any amendments are made, it will go back to the Senate to vote. Given the Republican majority in the House, the bill will likely not face issues passing. It will then go to Trump’s desk. What can you do? Call your House Reps and urge them to not vote for the bill unless amendments are made that extend the ACA subsidies and restore SNAP and Medicaid funding cut in the Big, Beautiful Bill. Contact Democratic Reps and demand they do not cave as the Senators did. Urge them to offer up amendments that support Americans and revert Trump’s policies. Even moreso, contact Republican Reps and demand they do the same. While it may seen fruitless, you deserve to have your voice heard and the slew of Democratic wins last week may make them more susceptible to pressure. Use the 5Calls app or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 to be connected to your Reps.

When policy and elected leaders betray us, it’s up to the people to do what needs to be done.

If you can give cash to food banks, now is the time. Trust that they know how the stretch the pennies best, giving cash is the best way. Every donation, every share matters.

Billions are available for a new ballroom, ICE, and bailouts. But, when it comes to Americans trying to make ends meet? Trump and the GOP are happy to let them starve.

If your benefits are at risk or you're just looking to help, check out these resources.
The Political Revolution logo is in the top left corner. The title reads SNAP Benefits at Risk for Millions. Text reads: On October 10th, the USDA announced that there would be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits if the federal government shutdown continues. As of October 23rd, 25 states have announced that food aid participants will not receive a check in November. These states include California, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi and New Jersey. Unfortunately, even if the shutdown were to end today, there would likely be a delay before benefits could be distributed. Approximately 42 million Americans (about 10% of the population) rely on SNAP to put food on their tables. We want to provide some resources for those who need food aid and those looking to help.

GOTV! Elections in Alabama, Missouri, and Florida today! Read about these elections and help spread the word.
GET OUT THE VOTE SEPTEMBER 30TH ELECTIONS There are a number of special, primary, and recall elections happening TODAY across several states. If you're in one of the following states, make sure to get out and vote! Alabama Florida Missouri STATE HOUSE SPECIAL PRIMARY A Republican primary election is being held for the Alabama House of Representatives District 13 seat. The seat was vacated after Republican Rep. Matt Woods was appointed senator for the State Senate District 5. The candidates on the ballot are Greg Barnes and Dustin Beaty. The Democratic primary was cancelled after no candidates filed. With no Democrat in the race, the winner of the primary will be the presumed representative for the vacancy. Polls will be open from 7am to 7pm. Florida is holding two special primaries for State House District 90 and Senate District 11. The State Senate seat was left vacant after Gov. Ron Desantis appointed Sen. Blaise Ingoglia as Florida's Chief Financial Officer. The State House seat became vacant when Rep. Joe Casello passed away in July. The Senate District 11 Republican primary's candidates are Anthony Vincent Brice and Ralph Massullo Jr. Democrat Ash Marwah ran unopposed and has already advanced to the general election. The House District 90 Republican primary's candidates are William Reicherter and Maria Zack. The Democratic primary election was cancelled and candidate Rob Long advanced to the general election. Polls are open from 7am to 7pm. MISSOURI JACKSON COUNTY RECALL After a last minute appeal by Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. to block the recall election, the courts have rejected it and the election will proceed as normal. White is up for recall due to several contentious measures. The primary issue is a 2019 property assessment process that caused massive jumps in property values across the country. The issue escalated even further in 2023, after average values jumped 30% and an investigation showed the assessment department did not follow the law during the assessment process. White's refusal to address the issues caused by these property value increases led to a petition for his recall, which received enough signatures to go forward. The ballot will only have a Yes or No question about whether White should be recalled. Polls are open from 6am to 7pm.

Now is not the time to back down. #Resist
Image of protest sign reading: Block Fascism Now. Title: Breaking News: Trump declares antifa a terrorist organization. Text: On the afternoon of Sept. 22, Trump signed an executive order declaring antifa a terrorist organization. After blaming the far-left for the killing of Charlie Kirk (despite no evidence), Trump is now using the shooting as the reason for going after the left and getting rid of his opponents. There is no legal framework for the president to designate a domestic group a terrorist organization. This only applies to foreign terrorist organizations. Furthermore, antifa isn’t an organization. It is an ideology, a decentralized network of people fighting against fascism. Unless Trump comes up with some sort of mechanism outside of the law, he does not have the authority to do this. However, this does mean that Trump as grown bold enough to make a move towards criminalizing political ideologies (and anyone he deems an opponent). The order calls for all relevant departments and agencies to “utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations [...] conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa.” This includes anyone deemed to be funding or providing material support to anything deemed an antifa activity. Given the broad language used, the order can be used against anyone deemed to be using antifascist language, which can be anything they want it to be. Additionally, it targets those who have been obstructing ICE operations. We knew this was coming. We knew that Trump would eventually go after anyone who speaks out against him, his cronies, and the entirety of MAGA. Sure, there’s no legal precedent, but that has never mattered to this administration, especially with the Supreme Court giving Trump the greenlight to do whatever he wants. This will only embolden anyone who relishes in making “the left” suffer. It will only continue to strip away our First Amendment rights. It will be used to make an enemy of anyone they want to. Now is not the time to back down. That’s what they want. They want us to be afraid, to comply, to let them rule without consequence. Don’t stop resisting.

Republicans are up to their usual deception. With a government #shutdown looming, they are doing what they can to force their spending bill through.

Democrats are threatening to force a shutdown to get #healthcare subsidies extended.
Image of Mike Johnson speaking. Title: The Government shutdown standoff. Text: As per usual, the GOP is using the fervor of the current news cycle to sneak in another spending bill which ignores the livelihoods of the American people. If a provision is not passed by the House and Senate by September 30th, a government shutdown will commence on October 1st, the beginning of the government fiscal year. Democrats are threatening to prevent the provision from passing if their demands are not met. Historically, Democrats have caved to GOP provisions to avoid shutdowns. Source: AP News Title: The GOP's Offering. Text: The spending bill would fund federal agencies until November 21st, which would, allegedly, buy time for the two sides to work out their fiscal differences. Republicans are claiming the current provision is clear of partisan policy, like that of the Big Bullshit Bill. The most reported addition would be $88 million for boosting security for government officials. The reason being increased safety concerns over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Source: AP News Title: What's the hold up? Text: Democrats are pushing back against the bill for a number of reasons. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries released a joint statement this past Tuesday saying House Republicans refused to work with Democrats to draft the bill. Another reason the Democrats are threatening to refuse supporting the bill is that it doesn’t address the healthcare cost crisis looming over Americans. Source: AP News Title: Focus on healthcare. Text: Democrats want the measure to include an extension of the Biden-era tax subsidies for low and medium income families who get their health insurance via the Healthcare Marketplace. They also want the Medicaid cuts from the Big Bullshit Bill reversed. America has long suffered a healthcare cost crisis, even with these subsidies. However, between those ending and the looming cuts to social programs, premiums will skyrocket, some as high as 50% more. Source: AP News

The Heritage Foundation is the true domestic terrorist.

Trans people are people. They are real. They deserve to be recognized and to live peacefully.

This is not a false alarm. Protect the trans folks in your community. It is a necessity.
esqueer.net Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · Sep 19
Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.
Page 1: Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism. Page 2: Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations. Page 3: Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?” Page 4: Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.
