2/9. The amount is shocking because we’re thinking through the lens of normal amounts of money. But we have to remember: these people are not normal. Their wealth is on an entirely different scale. This tool is helpful for visualizing it: mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

They really don't seem to understand that they represent US.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse.
But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000.
Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home.
Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

This is a good thread.
Folks, we need to have a little Civics #101 chat, because apparently the media no longer seems fit to explain to you whats happening.
So quick review:
The House passed a clean CR.
The senate has not passed anything.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Agreed. They think we're not onto their backroom shenanigans? Think again.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.
Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

I want Dems who are voting no to make the lives of Dems who vote yes a living hell. Strip them of every privilege. Don't talk to them. They're turning their backs on sick Americans. It's immoral and wrong. ACT like it.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

👇🎯 Unfortunately, this is true & probably the only way. Voters need to realize that hating government, & illegally defunding & dismantling it, & pretending that we can run a modern society/economy on Ronald Reagan's shabby talking point & worn copies of Atlas Shrugged & Mein Kampf is untenable.
Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

They should not have fucked over all of our federal employees and hurt so many people for literally nothing.
Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Yeah, I'm already fighting to get my insurance to cover the medication I've been on for 10yrs ($60,000 cash per year for one of my meds). Without the ACA, there's no way I'm insurable.
If the ACA goes I imagine I and my $8k a month in drug costs will be dumped off insurance rather quickly. Should be fun.
