Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

"what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops" is such a good counterpoint in my mind to the idea of a small effort being a drop in the ocean.

today has been a day of 800 little frustrations and everything going wrong, not in any sort of disastrous way but at least if it was something bigger i wouldn't feel whiny complaining about it. but in the balance, maybe tomorrow will be lots of good little wins.

They have access to buying things cheaper than you do, and they know what the community needs better than we do!

We really need to make "republicans crash the economy every time they have power" a top line issue imo
I still talk to people who think Trump is obviously good for the US economy.
The amount of actual exposure to real current affairs most people get is microscopic.
It's all just vibes out there.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

i did not realize this monkey/circus line was something new but i am now realizing the person i've heard say it for ages is from a very polish family
Poland’s two biggest cultural exports in the 21st century:
1. The Witcher
2. The saying „not my circus, not my monkeys”
(heard now on yet another English language TV show)

embrace the power of "i'm not mad, just disappointed"
Facebook found out I’m a Mets fan and now I’m getting content for the angriest, dumbest sports guys imaginable instead of anything else and I really do think the problem with America right now is that our phones are machines that run software that exists to make us angry. Being mad is the enemy.
