Are these Democrats not hearing us? Are they ignoring the protests? Do they need to replace the batteries in their hearing aides?! They keep giving away all of the advances we, the people, are making. We give them ammunition and they turn around and shoot us in the foot. Until you get corporate special interests out of politics, we are never going to fix DC. Not to mention, you don’t get hope and change with geriatric representatives.

Thanks for the breakdown, Paul. Spot on❣️

The fix was in. You can try to convince me that Schumer was not in on the deal. His whip (not running in 2026) was a leader in the GOP CR passing. Jeanne Shaheen is also not running. Tim Kaine was safe. What a tangled subterfuge. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/pieces-of-8-shit?r=3m1bs

It’s not survival of the fittest any more. It’s now survival of the shiftiest. Trump exposed the rot all the way down to the core.

“SNAP benefits won’t be cut off again”

As if Russell Vought/Trump will honor that. Even with an end to the shutdown in sight, the regime appealed to SCOTUS to be allowed to continue denying SNAP benefits.

It’s time for our version of morena. Let’s build AMoR (American Movement of Renewal) on a similar foundation…getting rid of billionaires and stopping the extortion of Americans when seeking basic needs like healthcare, food, transportation, shelter, education, safe expression of identity and wellness. We can enshrine basic rights for all people of all backgrounds. We can build back protections for our environment and shared resources. We can reinvigorate scientific discovery and innovation. We can! We must!

So what will the new people do differently? Even Bernie Sanders said no one wants Chuck Schumer's job.
