ok, sure. the Washington Generals lost. *this* time. but next week, in Charlotte, NC, we hope you turn up to what will be an EPIC battle
3. We need to move back as soon as we can to fighting Trump, united and forceful, as the voters who gave us that big win Tuesday expect. Getting back to that fight is how we keep building momentum.

in return for the senate becoming officially vestigial, I will allow various fancy boys like Marc Andreesen and Elon Musk to be named Senator For Life
Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

When you can’t afford health insurance just remember that Sen. Kaine is sleeping well
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.
If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

we can't lose the filibuster, a procedural anomaly only our opponents take advantage of, because if we try to use it they threaten to end it, though they actually won't, since they use it
We need to kill the filibuster if only so the student government people doing real government jobs can’t keep not doing actual stuff out of Fear They Could Lose The Filibuster

One thing about the filibuster is that it ensures every horrible republican priority gets passed with bipartisan approval while republicans just refuse to let anything good pass

Schumer and his friends want Trump to have power because they hate you. They are furious Mamdani won in a landslide and are afraid of repeats all over the country. Their solution is open capitulation to the far right.

Green line relative to orange line over the years explains everything about what radicalized the elites and why they’re so pleased despite everything being on fire right now
Not OK: Before and during the pandemic, lower-income households experienced higher wage growth than other income groups. But that has changed over the past year

Here’s the thing: Senate Democrats are absolutely weak and divided in the face of the GOP. They’ve always been like that. So, what’s your next plan that doesn’t involve relying on the good will of Chuck Schumer et al?
Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"
