I have it on dubious authority the tariff refund checks are on their way, right after the DOGE checks, which will be issued after the release of Trump’s healthcare plan…in two weeks.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Can I get that with a side of Medicaid expansion? They don’t serve it that way in TN.
three secrets to actually enjoying turkey at thanksgiving:

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Reporter: A video of a raid from Los Angeles, look inside this car. They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

this post is factually incorrect. the imminent SNAP disaster is not due to the government shutdown. it is the result of trump illegally withholding contingency funds appropriated by congress. it is not a matter of interpretation.
One food bank meal is equal to approximately nine meals provided by SNAP — but many food banks are bracing for a surge in demand if millions don’t receive benefits in November due to the government shutdown.
Food banks brace as people face federal aid stoppage: ‘We cannot meet the gap’
Already strained by federal funding cuts earlier in the year and a surge in demand from furloughed federal workers, food banks face a fresh wave of need as SNAP benefits end Saturday.

Vagus nerve stimulators are life changing for people like my daughter that suffer from medication resistant epilepsy. She went from being in ICU multiple times after a grand mal to 8 years without a grand mal, and no small focal over 10-15 seconds. This is proven, established, life saving care.

Here in TN we win even harder. No state income tax and also no Medicaid expansion, so the working poor can use all that fat tax savings to not afford healthcare.

The truth is there are three kinds of people: the disabled, the pre-disabled, and the doomed to die suddenly. Most of us will be disabled at some point.
You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.
