Jeanne Shaheen has voted with Trump more than Fetterman. Now she has totally sold us out.
I wonder why.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This has been the problem with the Dems for decades. They’re fractured and always want to ‘work’ (aka capitulate) with the R. They have no idea how to fight the manipulations from the R. Infuriating and frustrating. 😡
They caved. Senate Democrats caved. Their voters demanded just one very simple thing: FIGHT. Dammit, just FIGHT. Instead, they caved.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

And the reason I didn’t watch that game today on Fox. Sick of the complicit media.
Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.
Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Larimore will forever be called a weakling, wanker, and whiner. He will never live this down. How embarrassing for him and his family. 😂
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

More and more Dems need to respond to reporters in this manner. And the media needs to hold the republicans and trump administration accountable.
Honestly hoping Democrats drop the other shoe and start expressing absolute contempt for reporters who want to play makebelieve with the Republicans.
Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

FWIW, social democracies like Norway, Sweden etc have big businesses. They have billionaires.
They also have universal healthcare, quality free education & child care, and programs to curb poverty and food insecurity.
How?
Their billionaires pay taxes and don’t control the government.
