The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The Dems who support this abomination are completely missing the opportunity to 💩 on Trmp and the GOP. They look weak for caving; they're not even pretending that this was a difficult decision for them.

I am a HELL NO on any so-called agreement with Senate GOP leadership that is nothing more than a “pinky swear” they will allow a future vote on health care.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Christmas isn't a possibility for many this year. Trump's response? "I don't want to hear about the affordability."

Approaching the 3rd hour of my flight delay. I sure miss Pete Buttigieg, and a Congress that worked together (yes, I'm old enough to remember that). Thank you TSA and Air Traffic Controllers who are working w/out pay.

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

USAID pulled out of Sudan in July. A loss of over a billion in humanitarian assistance. Now this.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
