I'm also so thankful to everyone who wished me well. I'm, unfortunately, exhausted due to today's activities, but it's been my best birthday and I'm excited for future ones as well.

Beyond that the second best way to help me out, if you like the thought of that but want another way, is to check out my youtube channel! That is free & I make a few videos every week. Usually about #Jumpchains or humanism. I'd appreciate every new viewer and/or sub. www.youtube.com/@lucianosgon...

The corrupt and malevolent for wears many faces Senator Whitehouse. A few of them have (D) next to their names.

Fully insane that she's fantasizing about lynchings.

This is a "Do as I say" and not a "Do as I do" type situation, ma'am? Cause... it sure as shit seems like you, specifically, think healthcare is negotiable.

MIGHT end pretty late this week and more realistically NEXT WEEK. So the eight dipshits who did this aren't even actually helping people right now. They caved so hard it's a fucking miracle they didn't implode in on themselves.

Beyond that, yeah this amended version of the bill needs a House vote. So after it passes the senate, which it probably will, it has to go to the House for a new vote. Even if it passes there IMMEDIATELY, it's still gonna take some time for that to happen at all. The shutdown, assuming max speed,

Two of these dickheads are retiring next year. If the Democrats who did not cave and thus needlessly, pointlessly inflict misery on millions of families, want to send a strong message, they will name, shame, and condemn the senators who have threatened and moved to make all of this shit pointless.

The aforementioned fucking traitors are Senator Masto of Nevada, Senator Durbin of Illinois, Fucking Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Senator Hassan of New Hampshire, Senator Kaine of Virginia, Senator King of Maine, Senator Shaheen of New Hampshire, and Senator Rosen of Nevada.

The Democratic party is DEEPLY divided, but it's hard to make meaningful note of those divisions until we see Democrats in office calling to end the careers of the fucking traitors who pulled this stunt.

The idea of a uniparty in any substantive meaning of the term has always been bullshit, but moments like this make it FEEL like there is a uniparty. This is going to encourage the apathetic nihilism and cynicism that has fucked the American people over and over. I'm livid.

To cave on this with 0 meaningful concessions from Republicans, no victories on healthcare, after the harm it has done to families (at specifically TRUMP's behest), and to give Republicans a real, full, unmitigated W on the tails of Republicans suffering a total L during the election is unthinkable.

Republicans are directly responsible for the shutdown. There's no argument that they are the architects behind it. And Trump's cruelty was a powerful argument Democrats could have used to nail him and strike a powerful blow to the Republican Party.
