Do Senate Democrats really believe that Americans will hurt any less when the government is reopened and Trump and his sycophants can hack away at whatever programs they dislike?

Deals with this regime and MAGA Republicans are worthless. [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

How can they not be embarrassed to say this ridiculous shit?? Literally everyone knows there is no plan! It’s not coming in two weeks! If they had even a single idea of what to offer as a viable alternative to the ACA, we would have heard some details by now.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Lies, lies and more lies. Don’t believe the lies. The ultra rich want people to hate the poor so we can’t see how badly we’re being screwed over.

TAPPER: Do you have any numerical idea of how many Americans will not be able to be with their families for Thanksgiving because of this?

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

After the largest peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations in American history, and a blue wave election where voters clearly and loudly said FIGHT ALL OF THIS CHAOS, it is malpractice and disqualifying for an elected Democrat to suggest caving to Trump.

I'm looking in your direction, Chuck Schumer.

UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.

Charlie Sykes nails it again.

“The optics were ghastly and the substance worse, as the Orange God King began the week with a Halloween party celebrating his decadence and ended it with a tone-deaf attack on food benefits.”
