I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Ultimately, Jeffries is lavishing praise on someone who *left* the Democratic Party—the party Jeffries belongs to—while refusing to support the person who won his party's nomination.
Hakeem Jeffries’ statement following Adams’ departure: “I will publicly weigh in with respect to the remaining candidates in the Mayor’s race well before the start of early voting.”
Early voting starts Oct. 25.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.

Rumor says that RFKJ's NayCIP wants to delay the Hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine dose we give to newborns. What's the worst that could happen? 🤷♂️
Turns out that the earlier you get HepB, the more likely you are to deal with lifelong problems like cancer and permanent liver damage.
Awful, right?

Hey @washingtonpost.com — when you have articles about the numbers showing crime in DC is actually down and people feel safe… maybe put that in your own headlines instead of just parroting Trump’s propaganda?
