So what do we have? An oligarchy mashed with a kakistocracy littered with facist overtones and gushing Christian nationalism reeking of autocratic despotism sleeping with authoritarianism lead by a malignant narcissistic sociopath. Quite the accomplishment America.
Good for them.

Of course and in this case he's right.
Trump is claiming credit for ending the government shutdown, boasting that he “broke the Democrats.”

WTH did Hillary see in him?
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

You gotta listen.

SOURCES: The Epstein Files ARE Worse Than Previously Thought
I reached out to sources that reviewed the files after David Shuster reported that republicans in the House are panicking. This is about what I learned.

Good! TY Senator Kelly.
Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

He won't. And so the gang of eight betrayers gave in for nothing.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Only two minutes?
Trump and Hegseth booed mercilessly for 2 minutes straight tonight by Washington Commanders fans.

We were had again.
Just a reminder.
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

President Donald Trump was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Commanders ga— … oh, wait wrong clip

Just another explainer who thinks we are stupid. This is total BS. Like Wimpy in Popeye, republicans, "For a hamburger today I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday" and the eight of the cave caucus fell for it.
Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."

Excuses excuses excuses. They're all on a don't blame me tour.
Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.

And now the apologist tour. "For a hamburger today I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday". And these 8 betrayers fell for it.
King: So I believe that we are closer tonight to a vote on the ACA tax credits than we were this morning. This agreement tonight is a win for the American people.

Gotta say, counting "We got them to agree that a law passed in 2019 is still the law" as a victory is some real learned helplessness
