If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Hey MAGA. Trump is cutting your food stamps right before Thanksgiving. So you and millions of families will go to bed hungry that day. All thanks to your president.

Not trans,gays, or libs.

Is it worth it yet? Are we great again? Is the racism, hatred,and ignorance worth your kids going hungry?

Are you LISTENING 👂, Republican voters 🗳️?

ESPECIALLY in the Red States?

Where Trump is making the MOST CUTS from your food stamps, your welfare checks, your medications, your Affordable Care Act, your Social Security benefits, Veterans benefits, etc.? 🤔

You WANTED TRUMP.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.

TRY TO THINK, MAGAs:

Do you think a single mom on food stamps is the reason you’re broke???

Trump and his Republican party are protectors of child rapists.

I bet you would still support Donald Trump even if it turned out that he is a child rapist. After all you still support him after E Jean Carol demonstrated that she indeed was raped by him.

You’ve entered the epistemic battlefield. But the regime is populated by halfwits.

This isn’t Twitter.

The dopamine economy doesn’t rule here.

Narrative coherence does.

And you’re out of yours.

Let’s talk Epstein and the pedophile in chief.

Let’s talk kompromat, hush money, sealed files, and the bipartisan silence that keeps the rot intact.

Let’s talk about ripping healthcare from the poor, during a pandemic.

Millions uninsured, while Congress throws corporate bailouts like candy.

We already know from the historical data that we have and it shows that Republicans far outnumber Democrats. The Republican party is filled with child rapists.
