If anybody wants to read Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism but can’t afford it, I found a free PDF to share. Think of it as me virtually loaning you the copy I bought.

That doesn't mean let up on the pressure, oh no. Just that I cannot, and you cannot, let your sense of purpose depend on Democratic Senators doing the work. They - en masse - will not. Not yet anyway.

I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

Last night was another example of why we need new leadership. If @chuckschumer.com were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote ‘No’ and hold the line on healthcare. Maybe now @edmarkey.bsky.social will finally join me in pledging not to vote for Schumer?

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

"So as a sign of willingness to work together, which I remind you, is all my constituents want," Shaheen continued, "I am going to give Republicans 100% of what they want and getting nothing at all in return. That's what working together means. Giving one party everything and getting nothing."

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
