Trump posts the ridiculous (and already debunked) claim that Obama received $40 million for use of his name tied to Affordable Care Act. I've no doubt most of MAGA will believe it.

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.

Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Oust the turncoats.
Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

Tapper is a waste of space. Good for Newsom for speaking out truthfully and forcefully.

Newsom: Signature series. Sold out at the moment. Because people have sold out and because universities have been selling out, because law firms have been selling out, because corporate leaders have been selling out, people are selling out this country.

Nothing like setting up a home mortgage program that would cost American homeowners thousands of dollar more in interest, and slow equity gains.
White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked Trump into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan.

The White House was blindsided by the idea and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.

Well, I guess if he's sleeping better, everything's fine.🙄
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"
