Breathe in. Breathe out. Stop following every ass hair of the negotiations before you drive yourself insane. The government is still shut down.

It is unacceptable for masked ICE agents to throw tear gas on the streets of American cities.
 
@repscottpeters.bsky.social and I are introducing the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to ban ICE’s use of crowd control munitions, mandate body cameras, and protect our communities.

In case some of you are unaware.

Some service members that have gone unpaid are being targeted by unscrupulous loan companies.

Although they will receive back pay, these loans are averaging around 18% interest.

That’s evil and outrageous but, also a byproduct of the government shutdown.

You’d have to ask the DSA. It is literally parroting Soviet Era propaganda, adopted a resolution using it verbatim.

Young tankies were so butt hurt when the DNC didn’t adopt their resolution after two emendations that Ken Martin handed out tissues.
I wonder what it feels like to be parroting propaganda developed by the KGB

No, we’re not going to “class consciousness” our way out of racism and anti-semitism.

The phrase "homeless veteran" should not exist in the American lexicon. There should be a line item in the Military budget for Veteran Housing. Nobody who served should struggle to provide shelter for themselves or their families. Ditto for food and clothing.

Austin voters voted down Prop Q, a property tax increase that would have funded city services, address the homeless issue in the city, and help make up for all the GOP cuts affecting the city from both State and Federal levels.

And they did so by a HUGE margin. Honestly, not very fucking "Liberal".

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, you can’t hate the Nazis in the GOP. Then from the tent of the Democratic Party, embrace the free Palestine movement and its Nazi agenda. Ok thanks.

This was The Economist's cover 13 months ago: The booming Biden-Harris economy was "the envy of the world."

Then just enough voters on both right and left chose catastrophe under a white criminal rather than continued prosperity under a law-upholding Black woman.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Hey Oregonians! All SNAP cards have been loaded regardless of when your benefits normally come in.

Get yourselves to the grocery store.

If you're in Lincoln City, McMinnville or Roseburg, Grocery Outlet is offering an additional 10% discount.

Making History:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first woman governor in Virginia, garnering more than 57% of the vote.

Ghazala Hashmi — the first Muslim American woman elected to statewide office anywhere in the country — will be her lieutenant governor.

Schumer knew what he was doing. If you didn’t, you weren’t paying attention.
The more and more I think about it, the more and more I'm convinced that Schumer just looked more moves ahead than average pundit is capable of.

He knew that by giving the votes for cloture (but not the CR itself), it was a temporary sacrifice that the GOP would pay for in October.

He wasn't wrong

The Democratic Party’s dirty little secret pokes its head out of the closet of skeletons.
I find it interesting that with all the shit this administration does we have people on this site, specificially attacking Hakeem Jeffries, and ONLY Hakeem Jeffies.

He doesn't have a majority, and can't command the House Agenda like Mike Johnson can.

But he might.

Is that what scares you?
