Wow, um, Del Toro’s Frankenstein certainly starts with a bang and then proceeds to slow down for, like, the next 40 minutes, doesn’t it? There’s a reason Shelley didn’t bother to describe most of the construction of the monster.

Right. I think it’s time to get off this app for the night; I’ve already had to mute one person, and I’m tired. And angry.
Goodnight, my lovelies! Be well! 💚

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Let me clarify something. I absolutely blame the GOP and their horrible, dangerous, awful policies for the shutdown.
But I also absolutely blame the Democrats for capitulating to the GOP and getting nothing but mild reassurances that their dangerous, awful policies will only probably continue.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Yup. Primary them all.
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Anyone have an answer for Julie? I’d like to know too.
Does anyone know if the Medicaid ban on trans healthcare is included in this "deal"?

We need a Democratic Party with some damn backbone. We need Democratic leadership that can actually lead.
We have neither of these things at a national level. It’s time for them to step aside.

“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

If you ask me, Buttigeg represents some of the most toxic behaviors in the larger queer community.
He's cis, white, and rich - dude sucks up a ton of the air in the room and makes it harder for people who can't or don't wish to conform to those standards

I think Buttigieg is homophobic in a lot of ways that queer people who closely associate themselves with an attachment to respectability politics are, with a willingness to support the actions of a genocidal colonial state if they allow them a place at the table of power as well.

I told @schumer.senate.gov I am not from his state but I hold him responsible for this cowardice and not a single senate dem is seeing more money from me, they're all getting primaried.
Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumer’s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as he’s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal.
