If we're going to survive this, we need some new blood in the Democratic Party. We need more folks like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @katmabu.bsky.social who actually stand for something! No more of this kayfabe bullshit.

EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:
Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen
If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

So Trump's health plan, years in the making, is to send us some money? I am dubious. Reminds me of this scene from a classic Simpsons episode where they almost trade their dental plan for a keg of beer.

Starbucks needs to be very careful how they handle this. We can adapt to a Starbucks shutdown much easier than a government shutdown. They're easy to replace!
I hope for the workers' sake that the company will be reasonable and it won't come to that.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.
Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.
And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.
