It's getting to them...

American Airlines said in a statement. “A prolonged shutdown will lead to more delays and cancellations — and the American people, especially during the busy holiday season, deserve better.”

ie: We are going to lose a lot of money, please help us

Hold the line @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @ramirez.house.gov

Tell those CEOs that all the Republicans have to do to end the shutdown is accept the Democrats offer. Then ask them why the Republicans don't want to do that.

The CEOs of the major airlines are begging Democrats to end the shutdown 👏

How about donate some of your millions to the air traffic controllers?

Scott Kirby, United Airlines: $26M, Ed Bastian, Delta Air Lines: $37M, Robert Isom, American Airlines: $85M

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Our health care system is so broken it’s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

The FBI director is flying his girlfriend around on private government planes while FBI agents go without paychecks and families prepare to go hungry as SNAP benefits are being suspended

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

"Amazon said this week it is laying off 14,000 corporate employees. UPS said it has cut 48,000 jobs through buyouts and layoffs. Paramount Skydance announced 1,000 layoffs in what was characterized only as a first round of cuts"

The job market may be at a tipping point

Corporate psychology looks to be shifting, as worker shortages fade and AI advances hold the promise of doing more with less.

How long does Mike Johnson have to keep the House of Representatives in recess before we start considering the positions abandoned and seeking constitutional remedies to fill them?

The Constitution doesn't make representation in the House optional at the whim of the majority.

oopsallsadness.bsky.social @oopsallsadness.bsky.social · 9d

This would be laughable if it weren't so fucking infuriating.

Like, can you be any more brazenly stupid?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

What’s the real reason that over a month after her election, Adelita Grijalva is STILL waiting to be sworn in?

Mike Johnson wants to protect those in the Epstein Files.

Full stop.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Beyond the headline: It's still more about the economy and less about the Constitution.

If there is an election in 2026, Democrats need to focus on prices and wages to win.
