(2 of 2) Senators Cortez Masto, Hassan, and Shaheen
Senator Cortez Masto “I have consistently voted against shutting down the government because I know the pain it is causing working families, from TSA agents to government contractors. We must extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, but that can't come at the expense of the millions of Americans across our country impacted by a shutdown. With the government open, we can focus on passing a full, bipartisan budget for 2026. That starts with a minibus that will restore funding President Trump cut, deliver millions of dollars in critical funding to Nevada, and block the Administration from future RIFs. We also have an opportunity now to put Republicans on the record on the ACA. If Republicans want to join us in lowering costs for working families, they have the chance to do so. And if they do not come to the table, they will own the premium increases they cause.” MAGGIE HASSAN UNITED STATES SENATOR FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE “At a time when families desperately need relief, Washington's dysfunction is making life harder for families, and the last 39 days are proof. A record-long government shutdown paired with record-high health insurance cost increases is not the kind of history that the American people want Congress to make. Over the last several weeks, I've heard from Granite Staters who can't afford a doubling of their health insurance costs. I've also heard from families about the deep pain that the government shutdown has caused, made worse by a President who illegally and repeatedly chose to cut off help for families trying to buy groceries. After weeks of bipartisan conversations, I voted today to reopen the government so that we can get back to the work of helping Granite Staters. This agreement funds SNAP and food assistance programs, ensures that law enforcement, air traffic controllers, and other federal workers get paid, reverses the President's recent reckless layoffs and prevents them from happening in the future, and, crucially, gives Congress a clear path forward to protecting people's health care. Our work to deliver relief for families now enters an important phase. Congress has one month to engage in serious, bipartisan negotiations to extend the Affordable Care Act's expiring tax cuts for health insurance. My Democratic colleagues and I have been ready to work on this for months. With the government reopening shortly, Senate Republicans must finally come to the table — or, make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way. I urge Speaker Johnson to finally return the House of Representatives into session and quickly reopen the government. And I urge all Americans - in communities red, blue, and purple - to continue to speak out about the importance of affordable health care so that families across America can get the care that they need.” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen reposted Adam Sexton @AdamSextonWMUR “Today @WMUR9 spoke with @SenatorShaheen about the Senate deal she led to end the government shutdown: "This was the only deal on the table. We need to take it. We need to continue to fight about health care and show the American people who's on their side." #NHPolitics”

This is either a gallery of obliviousness or a lineup of unapologetic indifference and I’m not sure it matters which.

(1 of 2) Senators Durbin, Kaine, Rosen, and Fetterman
Senator Dick Durbin “Now that Democrats secured these wins, it's time for Leader Thune to keep his promise to schedule a vote on the ACA tax credits in December and we will see to it that he makes good on his word for the millions of Americans worried they won't be able to afford health care in January.” TIM KAINE UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA “I have long said that to earn my vote, we need to be on a path toward fixing Republicans' health care mess and to protect the federal workforce. This deal guarantees a vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which Republicans weren't willing to do. Lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don't, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will. This legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019. That's a critical step that will help federal employees and all Americans who rely on government services. I'll keep working towards a long-term government spending plan that includes critical priorities to support Virginians and funding for Virginia community projects.” Senator Jacky Rosen “For the Trump Administration, cruelty is a feature — not a bug. The government should make sure families have the ability to get food and thrive. This is incredibly cruel and heartless.” U.S. Senator John Fetterman “@SenMcCormickPA and I voted to REOPEN our government. Feed everyone. Pay our military, government workers, and Capitol Police. End the chaos in airports. Country over party” [an American flag emoji appears here]

SNAP benefits increased under Biden, not because an abnormally large number of recipients were added, but because the admin increased the per person allotment under the Thrifty Food Plan from an average of $4.80 /day to $6.20 /day. The most recent prior cost of living evaluation occurred in 2006.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump “SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly "handed" to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT” 527 ReTruths 1.78k Likes 11/4/25, 8:06 AM

This is why, beyond the dishonesty of it, I won’t be cajoled into performative politeness by people who don’t actually care what you think and simply want to censor what you say. To be clear, refusing performative politeness - e.g., “bless his family” is not the same as being a racist piece of shit.

The NWS, along with most other prime DOGE targets - government agencies designed to prevent Americans from dying and feed robust public institutional data to adjacent markets like insurance, housing, and finance - is feeling the strain of trying to run an institution using a corporate profit model.
John Sokich, who worked for the Weather Service for 45 years before retiring in January, said the agency is, "unfortunately, incredibly adept" at keeping its forecasts and warnings going in strained circumstances. Still, he compared the Weather Service these days to a sprinter forced to extend an all-out race from 200 yards to a mile. "They're going to run out of gas," Sokich said. "They're going to start missing things. They can't sustain that level of effort for much longer. You just can't sprint a mile."

Men aren’t lonely enough.
A post on threads that reads “Just packed for Vegas when my wife hits me with "I just got my period." Now I'm debating... do I drop $2,000 to be bunkmates at the Bellagio with no action and overpriced room service, or fake a work emergency and let her take one of her single friends instead? Married guys will get it. Single people, don't judge. What would you do?”

Migrants are not running blackstone. When all this cruelty solves nothing, who will they blame next?

Moody’s is the last of the big three to downgrade the US credit rating. Hard to imagine our foreign lenders will view the adjustment as symbolic this time.
An excerpt from the NYT article regarding Moody’s decision to downgrade the US credit rating: “While Moody's described the U.S. financial system as stable, and found the dollar to be strong and reliable, it also acknowledged the vast policy uncertainty — and it obliquely referred to the ways in which political stability and constitutional order can be ‘tested at times.’”
