📽️VIDEO: Trump has tried to keep the Epstein Files hidden — but could his fear of their release be far more influential than we realize? I explain what the released emails reveal and how the shutdown may have been a tool for Trump all along. youtu.be/iVJ21BDzJJs?...

Clueless tone deaf leaders who can’t seem to read the room!
Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.

They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.

Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Cortez Masto recently elected WTF
Durbin retiring WTF
Fetterman lost cause
Hassan up for reelection in 2028
Kaine clueless and tone deaf after VA landslide
King retiring WTF
Rosen just elected WTF
Shaheen retiring WTF

I have a bridge to sell all of them! Clearly they didn’t get the Tuesday memo!
The fact these 8 went above Schumer means this Dem leader has no leadership any more.
EIGHT Senate Democrats have voted to advance the funding measure so far after the deal was reached:

Cortez Masto
Durbin
Fetterman
Hassan
Kaine
King
Rosen
Shaheen

If the existing 52 Republicans hold, that's 60 — enough to advance this agreement. Final vote still to come.

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.

Stunned by some of the revelations in @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Aaron Davis’s book, “Injustice.” They report that AG Merrick Garland’s team was blindsided by the bombshell testimony of Meadows’s aide Cassidy Hutchinson before the Jan. 6 Committee. open.substack.com/pub/jimacosta/…

It is appalling for a president to accept private donations to fund a pet project. Just ask the Clintons.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Pledge to tear down the ballroom and restore the White House. Show R's that they can do what they want, but the ratchet turns both ways. This is a layup. Why don't Dems take it?
