Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!
Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

Yes! Someone finally calling this out! He needs to stay in medicine although I would NEVER go to him as a doctor now. He has weirded out.
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—
Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Just watching Chris Jansing interview Mark Kelly (who I really admire) and was doing great until she gets to the 'gotcha side' of journalism. Trying to get him to *bad mouth* Chuck Schumer(who I think is useless). Mark trying to be diplomatic, saying the emphasis should be on TRUMP. #ChrisJansing

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Why are there no ore pictures of the bulldozed East Wing? Has he stopped all photographs and video of that? I know there are no more White House tours and of course crackdowns on reporters who aren't sycophants. He is building himself a little castle. I am waiting for the moat! #BulldozedEastWing

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.
