It is great that the US Supreme Court has rejected the case to overturn same sex marriage. Now, if they'd overturn the ruling that says disabled people on benefits can't get married. Thanks so much.

While I'm super relieved that the Supreme Court has rejected yet another assault on same-sex marriage, this is a reminder that marriage equality still does not exist in the U.S.

People with disabilities shouldn't have to choose between love and essential benefits and resources.

We pay for the government. Every time they're evil or callous, that's your money going to fuck with people.

I don't want them to be careful or slow or cowardly, I want them to sell tickets to the trials.

In recent years the WI GOP Legislature has been busy second-guessing actions by the executive. If they don’t like how the laws are executed the answer is simple—pass a law that reflects what they want, rather than mucking around in executive processes. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/11/09/d...

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

You wake up. You really do. To the fact that you cared too much. You realise that the tv watching people who voted for Trump will vote for Trump/Republicans again, even though they know they were lied to, nothing got great. . That those that voted for disastrous Brexit will also

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

I called @baldwin.senate.gov and messaged. I don't want the shutdown to end without the GOP actually giving something. The GOP's promises are empty.
The 20 MILLION people who rely on ACA credits don’t need a show vote in December. They need help now, while they decide whether they can buy insurance & pay the mortgage next year.

Being a patsy for Republicans doesn’t burnish your moderate bonafides. It only makes you look stupid & weak!

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.
