We need education in how to recognize disordered personalities, and stop valuing what we think they are. Somehow, we keep making them bosses, of both private industry and our government.

One key thing that we all should be remembering right now is that disordered personalities DO NOT CHANGE.
Trump will not change. Fetterman will not change. There is no way to convince or mollify Stephen Miller.
The only option is to organize to remove disordered people from power forever.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

This. Remember not just the votes but the context. We see you @democrats.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

All of this upset and stress is giving me a migraine. I've called emailed and faxed. I won't accomplish anything else by continuing to be so angry my face is hot and headache getting worse. Somebody please get the Dems new leadership. FUCK CHUCK. Every Dem who capitulated is allied with THEM.

yeah everyone who’s in my mentions telling me schumer’s against this needs to understand what’s really going on. this is his caucus. he literally has one job — and he’s failing.
Schumer: "I must vote no. I can not, in good faith, support this CR. ... Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this pain on them."
He stops short of urging his colleagues to vote "no."

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

To be clear: this makes it look like it was Democrats fault all along.
This gives away every advantage we have earned.
This is complete capitulation to fascism.
If you come into my comments and try to tell me that this is also a "genius move", be prepared to get ripped a new one.

OK I know we have elections per state, but who/what determines which Senator/Rep is the Leader/Speaker/Whips, etc? Why are all the leaders from NY?

Jesus Christ, @kaine.senate.gov, getting a pinky promise to hold one single vote on ACA funding is not "a path toward fixing the health care mess" anymore than a lottery ticket is a "path toward fixing my personal finances"

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

We haven't had the vote yet so we don't know who the 10 Democratic senators are, but I'm sure we can guess. Everybody needs to be calling your local and DC office of your Democratic senator and telling them they must not cave. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for calling this a disaster.

Every disaffected Dem & swing focus group we do begins with people asking what's real. They hear, at times, this is authoritarian takeover threatening lives & livelihoods. But perceive most "leaders" not acting as if this were so.

Just a reminder that Walmart scams more than $2 billion off the American taxpayer every single month because of SNAP. If you think mega corporations are not the true welfare queens, think again.
42 million hungry Americans are a product of a system where big biz grifts and GOP blame the poor.

My question as soon as I learned how AI actually worked and where it stole its info from. Esp art AI.
I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?
