I don’t know how to express clearly enough how disempowering it is for the 8 Dem senators to have caved after the incredible victories of last week

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Do you even know how bad this is?

It’s like you kicked us in the gut. Sold us out. The GOP will not save our healthcare

First Argentina. Now Hungary.

No financial shield for SNAP or the ACA.

Only Trump's dictator buddies.

Hungary is collapsing under Orban, and this deal would ensure Hungary would face “no financing problems" and that the Hungarian economy won't continue to suffocate.

Only the US.
Hungarian leader Orban says he secured ‘financial shield’ from Trump
Trump promises to defend Hungary’s finances amid Orban-EU tensions and to sign $600m gas deal, says Hungarian leader.

Some good news for tonight. Harvested some carrots from our garden. Best part - our baby granddaughter “helped” pull them up. My dream come true. 🌱

@democrats.senate.gov You sold us out. Shall we send the bills for our new health insurance premiums to your offices? People will end up using the ER for their health care. Some people will go bankrupt or even die. Deeply disappointed

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

I’m with her👇 I can’t even listen to their press conference right now. @democrats.senate.gov you disappoint us again. And again. Time for new leadership.
I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

@senangusking.bsky.social no. Wrong move. So disappointed in you. We did our job. Do yours

I just called. Will you? We had huge victories on the election last week and now they are going to cave? No!
call Chuck Schumer right now and tell them he’s damning the democratic party for millions who will not forget who was the handmaiden to their betrayal

or, you know, less poetic if that’s not your vibe

NO VOTES FOR BETRAYERS & BACKSTABBERS Schumer has to go

☎️ 202 224-6542
Can you call Chuck Schumer right now? No matter where you live, can you take a few minutes and tell Schumer that if Senate Democrats cave you will not support Senate Dems as long as he is leader?

This, my friends, is what real (not fake) religious people do….
“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”

I’m in my lane when I say that you can’t call yourself religious if you are not feeding the hungry & clothing the naked & welcoming the stranger.

Period.

This is an emergency. families are going hungry in the richest country of the world.

Release the emergency #SNAP money now.

Or stop calling yourselves “religious”. Shame on all of you. #MikeJohnson #GOP

Business as usual at the WH. MONEY MONEY MONEY. but none for us.

Ladies and gents - your secretary of health and human services —- high tailing away from a person in a serious health crisis
RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

He’s right. He should be focusing on school. Trumps new family separation is cruel & wrong. And yet the “religious” GOP party sits idly by.
Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Any decent Christian (or any serious religious person) would be insisting that this government release all the SNAP money now.

You know, “feed the hungry” & all that.

I don’t care how many prayer circles the GOP congress or white house has — that’s not it.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

We canceled our #Spotify family subscription. We told them that we canceled in protest of their running ICE ads. We are long time #Spotify users & huge music fans

We are using our economic power to say NO

#CancelSpotify #BoycottSpotify #ICE needs to get out of our communities now.
