Senate Democrats are considering a “deal” to agree to a *vote* to extend the ACA subsidies in December. Not a guarantee of passage and remember: we did this dance in March. Dems caved then because Republicans promised they would have addressed healthcare by now. They haven’t.
This is not a deal

This is like when I was in college and asked my mom for money for a flat tire the same week I got a tattoo. But I was 18, not the president of the United States who should their priorities together
It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare.
Reminder: Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina for no reason.

All 17 Constitutional amendments in Texas are set to pass. To get on the ballot, they needed 2/3 support in the House, meaning at least 12 Democrats to support.
Serious conversations are needed about how nearly half of these even made it onto the ballot. Time to start holding our own accountable

Can y’all quit giving Abbott attention for his idiot comments about tarriffs on New Yorkers? That’s not a thing he can do. He knows it. He literally just pulled it out of his ass for PR that you’re giving him 🤦🏻♀️

Neither major Democratic Senate candidate in Texas has a single video up about SNAP or where Texans can find resources or donate. Colin Allred at least has a few posts on X about it, but only politicos will see it.
Both campaigns need a serious recalibration.

Republicans could have passed an actual budget with a simple majority through reconciliation. They didn’t have the votes within their own party to pass their own legislation, which is why Republicans *chose* a CR which *requires* them to negotiate with the minority party 🧵

Ted Cruz and other officials at a press conference in Dallas after a shooting at an ICE facility all refused to name the victims as being detainees. All “thoughts and prayers” were instead directed at ICE agents.

This is what Jimmy Kimmel said for the Trump admin to threaten to pull ABC’s broadcasting license which ultimately led to his show being ripped from the air “indefinitely.” This is not just chilling, this is the steady march to the state media seen in countries like Russia

I don’t think anyone is surprised that Lina Hidalgo is not running again, but I think most would be surprised at how quickly her star fell. It wasn’t that long ago that she was being positioned as the future of the party in Texas

Congressman Pat Fallon (TX-04) has not signed onto the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, “but he wants transparency.”
No, he doesn’t. By not signing on, he’s blocking transparency. Full stop. Call and ask your rep if they signed the discharge petition. If not, demand that they do

No one is doing more in Texas than @betoorourke and that’s exactly why Paxton is targeting him, but it’s important to know it’s not just him they’re reallly after with all of this—it’s voters. Losing the infrastructure that Beto has built would have devastating consequences to Democrats in Texas
