"Mamdani’s election to lead one of the largest, most diverse cities in the nation is a clear signal to the national Democratic Party that their voters are still capable of mustering the enthusiasm necessary to take back control of Washington, D.C."
Zohran Mamdani Is the Mayor-Elect of New York City

Trump was elected to a second term in office one year ago today.

The “might makes right” politics that have defined his second administration are bringing out the worst in America.

The kids are alright, y'all.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Thank you to @agdanrayfield.bsky.social and his team for presenting a strong case today in defense of Oregonians and in opposition to Donald Trump’s abuse of power.

The Trump administration’s chaotic tariff policies raise costs and harm Oregonians, Americans, and the economy. It is the role of Congress, not the president working on his own, to implement tariffs when appropriate. 🧵

Even though the Trump administration says they will partially fund SNAP this month, we still don’t know when Oregonians will get their benefits. But we do know that our community is stepping up in a big way to keep our neighbors from going hungry. 🧵

Action Alert!
We want the government open, but only with restored ACA subsidies.

Call the following Senators 👇 & demand any deal includes iron clad, in-writing agreements on subsidies that are more than a promised "vote".

👇 Pay attention because this is the plan. They have tried to take away the ACA since 2010. Let's fire Johnson next year. I am about tired of him.

SENATOR SCHUMER AND CONGRESSMAN JEFFRIES-DON’T YOU DARE CAVE ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT!!! DON’T LET THE GOVERNMENT RE-OPEN UNTIL THE ACA SUBSIDIES ARE EXTENDED FOR at least FOUR YEARS!!! And the next time you negotiate it make the subsidies PERMANENT!!!
Thoroughly broken record at that.
MoscowMike should be ashamed.
He won’t even swear in an elected Representative
Based on her party.
Make him!

If it happens because of squishy centrists like Slotkin, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gary Peters, there will be hell to pay.
If Dems fall for the "promised" ACA vote they are politically suicidal.

American voters, keep applying pressure, you deserve healthcare, it should be universal but at least with ACA you get healthcare. Noone can afford the doubling of premiums that rich people and insurance corporations want. DO NOT CAVE, GOP EXTEND THE SUBSIDIES
Word on the Hill: Gary Peters, Jeanne Shaheen, and other centrist Democrats want to end the shutdown. Every poll shows Republicans are losing this fight. Secure the ACA subsidies. We do not capitulate to a fascist tyrant and especially not when we’re winning you morons. Blow up their fucking phones.

As Mamdani says: Turn up the Volume!!

Ridiculous grocery prices, refusing to fund SNAP, and letting ACA subsidies lapse has really got to be the last straw for people. Most people are busy working hard, they don't get into the minutia, but they understand when they can't afford anything! 👇

cost of shutdown to the US economy? 15 billion per week (originally stated as “per day”, twice, by Scott Bessent).

Cost of ACA subsidies extension: 350 billion dollars over ten years.

15 billion per day x 36 days = $540 billion dollars

15 billion per week x 36 days = $75 billion dollars.

How come nobody is asking why we can’t use the “trillions of dollars in tariffs” to pay for ACA subsidies *or* to pay down the debt?
Reposted by SlothBoffleB
Schumer and Jeffries are taking the right tone here. Call your Senators and tell them you solidly support continuing the subsidies for the ACA. Then send your local food bank a generous check, better yet a monthly donation so they can plan.
"Thank you for your attention to this matter"

Democratic leaders ask Trump for meeting to end shutdown

4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won.

And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states!

This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.

Hospital leaders in CT made it clear — the expiring ACA subsidies & cuts to Medicaid & Medicare will leave people uninsured & increase healthcare costs.

People will come in sicker & emergency departments will overcrowd. I’m fighting for healthcare because lives are on the line.
