Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

What the hell do you think you’re doing, @schumer.senate.gov? Are you seriously arranging another surrender when you have leverage? Please resign. You have proven again and again that you are not up to the critical role of leading the opposition party when the country needs it most.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Most political journalists are preoccupied with the election results, but there's something really interesting going on within the right wing echo chamber. Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes has resulted in a heated debate about whether and how to denounce them.

Somehow, I had not heard of Christopher Buehlman's *The Lesser Dead* and picked it up on a whim after finishing *Buffalo Hunter Hunter* by Stephen Graham Jones where he mentions being inspired by the former in the epilogue.

There's sort of an amusing interview with Steve Bannon on Politico today in which he freaks the fuck out about Mamdani winning.

Rs are trying to kindle a scandal around Biden using an autopen and Trump just said on 60 minutes that he doesn't know who the guy he pardoned last month is (that would be C.Z., the billionaire who pled guilty to money laundering in 2023, but who also has lucrative business dealings with Trump).

Ah, yes, the annual tradition of older Minnesotans reminiscing about the Halloween Blizzard, as if we do not hear this story once a year.

"But how are we going to pay for SNAP benefits?"
We already have. There's an emergency fund appropriated by Congress for this reason exactly. POTUS is refusing to use it, functionally using 42M people's hunger as a political weapon.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients
Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

Noticing a pattern here, we would like to extend an olive branch to the generation after the next (I.e. alpha). More and more of us agree we need fundamental, structural change. Maybe we can work together on that? - Cringe Millennials
