AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Realistically, the maga republicans are never going to restore the supports for the ACA.
Never
Never
They won't in 2 months.
They will own people not being able to afford health care.
They will own starving citizens.
They will own tariffs & the recession.

We can win by staying in the fight.

Please, everyone, listen to this one and soak it in. Because, your voter registration, votes, and right to vote is under attack. It's not far-fetched that you will be unregistered without your awareness and find out too late. Keep watch, understand what you need to do!

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Already there. The only way to get the corporate Quizzings' attention is to let them eat their inventory. That they paid high tariffs to get. I won't be paying those tariffs.
Don’t fly the airlines don’t spend anything on Black Friday. Or at least only spend local.
The reason why EVERY Democratic Senator was in on this betrayal is because the Airlines needed their Thanksgiving money and Walmart needed it's SNAP money and billionaires need people to spend money on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and don't want consumers scared.

🧪This is a must watch. Please watch tonight's episode @60minutes.bsky.social.

Joan Brugge is an eminent scientist that was one of the first pioneers of 3D culture in breast cancer. She had two of her grants canceled last spring.

We used her protocols to develop our own for our research.

100 percent!
They want us to give up. Just for that reason alone, I never will.
Don’t you dare think about not voting. Voting is our way to make the situation better. When you vote for people who do the wrong thing, you don’t just then give up and let whatever happen happen, you hold them accountable and make sure you get someone better next time

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

A baby was pepper-sprayed by CPB here in Chicago this weekend. A BABY. DHS says it never happened but here's the video evidence. It shows: "a masked, helmeted man pointing a pepper-spray gun through his open window and firing into the car."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."
