These people are such assholes, just vicious sons of bitches, jeebus
Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

today outside immigration court someone said to the gaggle of photographers “thank you for the work you’re doing.” and one of the agents replied with “thank you” and the guy looked at him and said “not you.” 😂

I think one of the most frustrating parts of this authoritarian blitz is that so many of these people are idiots and buffoonish liars
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

The thing about the financial playbook of the AI firms that tells you they are full of shit is precisely how unoriginal, and quite frankly extremely dangerous, it is
I mean no it's not, it's more like Enron.
This is insane. This is *literally* doing the same mechanics of the housing crisis and 2008 recession but to create debt to finance construction of AI data centers

Dignity agenda, free from fear and want 🥰
I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

The thing is, election night happened and the people that got elected are not like the capitulators. Those folks are on the way out and good riddance and I simply will not dwell on their failures

Trump repeatedly fell asleep during his criminal trial in New York last year. You may not have heard about it much because the media decided that Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard 20 years ago merited more prominent coverage

Also, and I say this with my whole chest: do not give establishment Dems a dime of your money. Not a CENT. Give that money to mutual aid, to food pantries, to your library, to the guy on your street corner. All of them will put that money to better use.

Do not give politicians your money.

The ppl we have elected do not listen to us. There has to be an actual consequence for that and not just “we vote for the least evil person.” That has, quite frankly, put us collectively in the shitter and made a lot of Dems feel invincible.

It’s time for something to change.

The marginal Dem votes in the Senate made a bad choice today, but Republicans win a fight to implement incredibly unpopular policy and they’re still going to face a blue wave in 2026
like as much as this site is in a fit of justified anger over this, the GOP... does not actually win anything by fucking over insurance markets
if they don't fix Obamacare credits and/or fuck it by replacing it with HSAs, next year is going to be uhhhh a healthcare election

AOC could be a force in the Senate, and it will be a tough call, because I would be pumped to vote for her to be President and root hard for Lander in the Senate
I hope AOC announces against Schumer tomorrow

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

The funny thing is, unlike thing that came out of the fetid swamps of the Tea Party astroturfing, this revolt could do some actual good in the world
Even more true today: Democrats are ripe for a base revolt like the GOP in 2015 when Trump went down the escalator.

I know the push is always to get people more engaged with what is going on in the government, but you as a constituent should NOT have to spend your sunday panic calling your senator to beg them not to collaborate with fascists.

None of us should have to do that.

2 of those guys are just crazy enough to tank the deal and Cornyn seems aware of the catastrophic nature of losing the subsidies. Scott is a ghoul, so I'm sure he's a lock
Rick Scott, Mike Lee and Ron Johnson have not voted. They appear to be negotiating something with Thune in the back of the Senate chamber.

We are at 56-40

Also waiting on Cornyn

I agree with this caution on drawing conclusions about what happens after tonight, Republicans can also see that they are not popular and the Freedom Caucus folks are genuinely unhinged and ungovernable when they want to be
The Senate passing a bill that is NOT the House CR means the House has to also vote on it. Dems are doing harm reduction and forced the repubs to cave and pass a different bill than the House. Now let's see what House repubs do.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.

Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.

Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.

My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.
