A glimmer of good news this morning.
It’s 3:25 in the morning. It is 6,000 internal degrees. We are simultaneously itchy, sweaty, chilled, tired, wide awake, thirsty, need to pee, can feel every seam in our clothes, and can’t find our pants. The cat is using our glasses as a hockey puck.

This is why you don’t make pinky-promise deals with fascists.
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.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

“People are blaming republicans for food prices and flight cancellations and health insurance costs and are furious about gilded ballrooms and Gatsby parties and the president is falling asleep on tv and is the most deeply unpopular president in history, time to cave” is a hell of an argument

Lucy is delighted at yet another opportunity to yank the football.
If you need confirmation Senate Democrats are fucking this whole thing up here you go. Excellent way to destroy the enthusiasm with huge Dem wins throughout the country up and down the ballot that were not even one week ago.

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake.
The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Some folks are really weird about married couples who actually like and respect each other.
I’m sorry you don’t have that in your own life, but you need to stop making that into an invasive, parasocial situation instead of addresing your own issues.

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.

I’m really struck by how Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani are just such better communicators and so much more on message than other Dems. This—and humor—is the way.
Mamdani is asked about Trump’s comment last night that he’s better looking than him: “My focus is on the cost of living crisis.”

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"
