I don't think I've ever been this mad at Democrats.
Those eight fucking senators who caved BETRAYED us.
They're responsible for 15 MILLION people losing their health insurance.
And for what? A "promise" of a vote? From the least trustworthy shit stains to ever put on a suit and hold a gavel?

This statement is demonstrably false - and shockingly stupid.
If Kaine believes this, he's too stupid to hold the office he has.
The only alternative is that he's too dishonest to hold his position.
Either way, he needs to get the fuck out.

On this day in 1918, a top-secret, coded message was sent from Europe to Ottawa and Washington, D.C. saying all combat between the nations of Europe, Asia, and North America would stop on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

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.

It wasn’t cowardice.
It was greed.
Each of the eight senators who betrayed us took money and guidance from airlines.
We have to get money out of our politics.
There’s no reason electeds should get any money beyond their salaries.
If money is speech, then speech isn’t free.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I contacted my Senators, Schumer and Gillibrand - and asked them to NOT vote to end the shutdown until the gop agrees to restore ACA subsidies and SNAP benefits.
I said I’ve voted for them every time their names were on the ballot. But if they cave, I’ll vote for anyone but them.

This is awful and terrifying.
It is interesting, though, that trimp and his minions clawed back more than $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR (which is public broadcasting) is reporting on the gop's incompetence and idiocy.
Your move, slimy little skid marks.

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

I honestly don't know if we're collectively getting better at describing the horrors or there are so many horrors it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Either way, I like the succinct summation here by [checks notes] God.

Imagine being THIS CLOSE to getting it.
And then IGNORING the fact that oppressors have divided New Yorkers into an in group and the oppressed FOR CENTURIES.
This is Jeff Bezos' editorial board. They and their ignorant ideology need to be swept into the ash can of history.
