These guys really think we're stupid.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Momentum builds for new leadership!
Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️
Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.
![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)

I think if we can get a lot of 35-55 year old senators in there, things will shift dramatically. And I'm 69;)

Oh that sounds fun. I’m always looking for *more opportunities to talk to insurance providers.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Wilson is now leading in the vote count for Seattle mayor by 91 votes. There are still several thousand ballots to count, likely—based on historical examples—to favor Wilson.
Wilson may be the most truly "urbanist" mayoral candidate in the country.
Wilson may be the most truly "urbanist" mayoral candidate in the country.
Who is Katie Wilson?
She’s head of the Seattle Transit Riders Union.
Her platform proposes to massively increase funding for affordable housing, cut red tape for development, shift away from single occupancy cars, & develop the transit network.
And she may well be the next mayor of the city.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

not sure what democrats thought the reaction would be to their plan and these condescending followups. this is life and death for some, or the difference between a home and eviction for others. what were they thinking
How does your pathetic "plan" keep me alive through 2026? How does it pay the premium increase I face? How fucking dare you come on here with this bullshit.
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

You need to understand, there is no "getting past internal recriminations and back to fighting united" under current leadership, because current leadership is plainly NOT FIGHTING.
If you want the Dems to be a united party, it starts with ousting Schumer. Until then, there is no unity.

You've broken our trust. We showed up in record numbers to protest and vote in support of the stand you all were making. And you betrayed that trust. Good luck getting that margin of victory again. You wasted that moment.

Lol what’s the point of victory if last night’s behavior typifies the kind of outcomes one can reasonably expect from Dems? You would need to address what Dems stand for, because frankly, I think Senate Dems have lost the plot (collectively).
