I am so weary of running around explaining contemporary politics to Democratic senators but Trump has taken the power of the purse from Congress and has made good on his promise to not fund anything he doesn't want to so "guaranteeing a vote in the Senate" is not a thing.

Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game.
America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

With our big election win last week, and Trump's clear political and physical decline, Dems should be more ambitious now, and fight even harder, for the country and the American people. Voters saw us fighting for them & we were rewarded across the country 👇

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

I know several people who worked on this rollout. They were really proud of it.
The I.R.S. is shutting down its free online system for filing tax returns, a program that the Biden administration introduced last year and that users gave high marks.

“The President was not sleeping,” WH spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said.
Trump, who repeatedly mocked President Biden by calling him “Sleepy Joe,” had his eyes closed, was slumped in his chair, and snored while Dr. Oz was speaking.

Anyone who tells you that Candace Owens is not antisemitic in the worst way is either supremely ignorant or lying.
There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

The Washington Post’s new editorial stance: trillion dollar executive compensation packages while tripling the price of tens of millions of Americans’ health insurance premiums is A-Ok, but proposing free childcare and public transit is class warfare.
Dropping the mask, indeed.

This is references “class warfare” and “Generalissimo Zohran Mamdani” and only gets more bananas from there. The new editorial page is… really something. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

The next president should demolish the Epstein ballroom on PPV. Let people tear it down with their own hands, like the Berlin wall.
And erase his name from everything that the malignant narcissist defiled with his vulgar name.
Trump is desperate to be remembered. His worst fear is to be forgotten.
