@fetterman.senate.gov falling flat on his face right now seems somewhat poetic. He should really resign.

yes i am also confused why there are folks that think that this scandal, finally, will end it without us having to resort to politics to stop him

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Schumer needs to be gone. There is no world in which this vote makes sense. Either you should never have shut the government down, or you stick to your guns until getting something. Why the fuck do you hold out for a month to ultimately get fucking nothing? This is why people view dems as spineless.

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Apparently health care is negotiable to Shaheen.
Health care isn’t negotiable.

We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

Def need to turn the energy from the last election towards the primaries and get the kinds of candidates who won’t sell us out to authoritarians over and over again.

Democrats just swept the off-year elections -- and not just in blue states -- a resounding rejection of Republicans' authoritarian bullshit. It is an insult to Democratic voters, marketplace enrollees, and everyone who turned out on Tuesday for Schumer and Jeffries to cave.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

The president is desperate to make sure Americans go hungry.

Seems like a pretty big news story? Especially as he's throwing massive parties for himself and building a giant golden ballroom?

If the media or Democrats are looking for a "kitchen table" issue, this seems like a *pretty* good fit
Donald Trump has asked his employees on the Supreme Court to overrule lower court orders demanding that he fulfill his duties to feed Americans who are due SNAP benefits

AND

He's demanding that states which just rushed to fill the vacuum created by his cruelty "undo" that work.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

it's frustrating to see small creators who try this AI stuff to (unsuccessfully) compete at a higher tier

but it's infuriating when companies with essentially unlimited revenue to afford paying real professionals like Activision, EA, Coca-Cola or Disney Marvel use it ("bro it's so alien! get it?")

I feel like Mamdani has the chance to do what Obama ultimately dropped the ball on by using the groundswell of support to help enact his policy goals. I see opinions like “he can’t unilaterally make his promises happen” but if he has a base of motivated organization he may have some luck.

Question for the 42M: how are you coping with not having your SNAP Benefits? My mom and sister have come through for me and I am beyond grateful that I have them because MOST do not. I want to know YOUR stories. I want people to see what we go through.

Fun fact, the Governor of VA impacts the makeup of the county board of elections. It’s not an immediate thing, but you county board make up is driven by the party of the Governor. Republicans will get replaced as their terms come up so that county election boards are majority Dem. 🌈⭐️

There is nothing “radical” about wanting a more equitable city. About wanting to be able to afford rent. About seeing the gap between the rich and the poor growing beyond comprehension. Any mainstream media organization portraying these promises as such is doing a disservice to the industry.
