Knowledge of the law has broken my brain, darkened my humor, and created my cynicism. I hope you find it entertaining
For every person on an ACA funded plan with a GOP senator, remember this vote as the betrayal it is

When they try to win your vote by fearmongering, remember this vote that made you choose between lunch or your kids healthcare.

They've made you pay, now make them pay at the ballot box
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

I for one welcome more debt that I'll never be able to pay off
Ingraham: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?

Trump: It’s not even a big deal. You go from 40 years to 50

Ingraham: 30

Because so many Senators voted to essentially ban hemp production with no debate I've listed the hemp producing states with how their senators vote.

Surprising Ran Paul is the only one who cares about hemp production in their state:

Hey California,

Both your senators just voted to kill your hemp industry which produces 6.3 million pounds of hemp annually.

But I'm sure Senator Schiff and Padilla have your best interests at heart

I need some to explain to me why this, as described, isn't just a worse subsidy with extra steps and no bargaining power, because that's what it sounds like
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"

This is a nothing-burger wrapped like a liberal win to make the Court look fair and moderate when they give Trump dictatorial power

Trump: You know you'll be paid in full... unless you quit soon, or took time off, or aren't working today.

Also you should have known the dozens of threats not to pay you weren't real
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

Trump: I issue these pardons to move to national reconciliation.

Pardon Attorney Ed Martin: No MAGA left behind

You need to have truth before you can have reconciliation. If you skip that part you're just trying to sweep the dirt under the rug

Excellent, we've reduced the harm from the GOP shut down. Now we can dig in and fight for the healthcare of millions of Americans...

The Senate voted to do what now?
BREAKING

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.

The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

And that's the ballgame. Cornyn votes aye
November 10, 2025 at 3:50 AM
Listen Sen. John Cornyn has the option to do the funniest thing ever.

And it's pretty sad that the last hope for affordable healthcare is a Texan's sense of humor

This is a list of things the Fed Gov't can't do:
🧵/2

1)Voter ID and Mail In voting: States have constitutional rights to run their own elections

2)No Cash Bail: while I welcome Trump's change in opinion on bail unfortunately, it will only affect people in federal custody
Trump: "Here's some of the things we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster. Voter ID, no mail in voting, no cash bail, no men in women's sports, no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on."

Doing some quick math here: for the 340 million Americans to lose 135 billion pounds we'd each need to lose ~400 pounds
Oz: We thought it was 125 million pounds. Our estimate is Americans will lose 135 billion pounds by the midterms
