Every corporate Democrat must be replaced by people who reject the stink of billionaire bribes. We will either get GENUINE REPRESENTATION or tear down the rotten system that abuses us. And replace it with COMMUNITIES of CARING SANE PEOPLE who don't destroy the Earth in an orgy of insatiable greed.

Doesn’t matter the political party running the White House, when it comes to cannabis prisoners they haven’t been freeing them. Biden did pardon people NOT in prison and Trump pardoned a small number too actual in prison. Nonviolent cannabis farmers don’t belong in federal prison!

Who knew? Americans like having food when they’re struggling, healthcare when they’re on their own, and politicians who offer solutions for families instead of tax cuts for the already uber rich!

If elections have consequences, but when Republicans have no empathy, no sympathy, no conscience, and no morals, consequences are just a fly to be swatted away.

The commodification of basic aspects of life like housing and healthcare only benefits the oligarchs who profit from our misery, as it kills us.
One of America’s biggest for-profit hospital operators is bankrupt, broken, and responsible for countless mistreated patients—thanks to its private equity overlords.
Wall Street gutted Steward Health Care. Patients paid the price.

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.

Glad we've taught the Trump administration that starving 42 million people and disrupting air travel is how they get whatever they want, though. Good precedent with 3 years left in this nightmare.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.
