Oust the Quislings! @democrats.org, bumper stickers should be issued… 😀
Democrats should not “wait until after” anything to have these internal fights. This is the argument the establishment makes to keep control of the party and continue fucking up. We need an internal fight to oust the quislings and elevate the people who give a shit and who know how to fight.

“Give us one example of this stuff you would bring to the table… ”
Tim Burchett on the Republican plan to replace the ACA: "I think we've had enough hearings. I think we need to just start bringing stuff to the table and start voting on it."

They are now banning Pete Rose because he didn’t bet enough… 🙄
“The consequences extend beyond lost money. Hazardous gambling is correlated with increased rates of anxiety and depression, and young men who engage in it are more likely to slide into a full-blown gambling addiction. Boys who frequently gamble miss more classes, perform worse in school”
The rise of sports betting is a growing public health crisis
Sports betting is more addictive than ever, and millions of young Americans are paying the price.

Trump knows the first three words to "God Bless America" but that seems to be about it

Finding it hard to believe that @kaine.senate.gov and @democrats.org don't know we already know where The Republicans stand on this. That was the point of the shutdown, right? Nice turnover at the goal line, y'all.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Happy the OG, @kottke.org is still at it… but otherwise, I call it the “newsletterification” of the Internet.

Can somebody hip me as to why ACA insurance went crazy, requiring subsidies around the time of Covid? There are plenty of people subscribing, right? Is it because fewer insurance companies are taking part? 🤔

Funny cause it’s true, @democrats.org
Democratic leadership:
YOU MUST VOTE HARDER.

Democratic voters:
VOTE SUPER HARD IN MASSIVE NUMBERS AND FLIP SEATS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Democratic leadership:
WE’RE CAVING. LULZ.

Ingraham: Doesn't that show us that we’re too dependent on China?

Trump: We’re not dependent on China, we’re dependent on having a smart president

Guys… the kidnappings, starvation of our poorest citizens, healthcare increases in the triple digits are all going to seem worth it when we have one of the greatest ballrooms in the world!
Trump: First of all, the East Wing… was a poor, sad sight. I could have built the ballroom around it but it would have not have been -- we are building one of the greatest ballrooms in the world

Next time I trip on the sidewalk, I am going to yell: “Because of the policies of the previous administration!”
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

After the President said this, his doctors took him away to do some bloodletting with leeches.
Trump: "Nobody knows what magnets are."

The notebooks are all full of “concepts of plans”

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.

The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”
