There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Bipartisanship with a party full of fascists is not cooperation; it's appeasement.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

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.

Cory Booker is giving a masterclass in how Democrats should be fighting right now—standing firm, refusing to back down, and laying bare the personal stories of lives wrecked by Trump, Musk, and the GOP.

CNN interviewed more than a dozen experts, and they said that no fire hydrants would have been able to stop the LA wildfires with the high winds. “I don’t know a water system in the world that is that prepared for this type of event,” said one expert.

Hey @mscommunity.bsky.social customer service sucks. I bought Office 2024, then had a complicated problem with it that no online bot could answer. But NO way to talk to a human, or EVEN to write out the problem. If my problem didn't conform to one of your boxes, it kept telling me to start over. 1/3

Never let it be said that social media is good for nothing. Today I learned that if you add to your google search -ai, you don't get the AI "summary" in the listings. Since you can't just opt out, this is the next best thing.
