House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of the convicted sex offender’s victims, among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. nyti.ms/441Dyxh

I'd rather the Dems not support this and stay strong to demand what the people deserve. While I've long supported Schumer as I lived in NY for the first 18 years of my life, he sold out here.
A vote in the House expected on Wednesday could end what is now the longest shutdown on record. Democrats are decrying the plan, saying it fails to address expiring health care subsidies. n.pr/49LUSKf
On day 43 of the shutdown, a vote in the House could bring the impasse to an end

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

All I see here is calls for Dems not to cave. Which, for the record is what I want too. But other than not caving what should Dems do if the GOP will simply never address the ACA subsidies?
I don’t want the Dems to cave either. I really don’t. I called both of my senators from Michigan and said so. But … what do you do when you’re in a game of chicken when the other diver is willing to have the head-on? Do you accept all the collateral damage?

The Tuesday election was a message to Democrats to keep fighting. People are scared at what Trump is doing to their lives and our democracy. And they desperately want the opposition party to stand up to him, not willingly get run over.

Loved the Kelvin timeline. It was my first introduction to Star Trek, and led me to become a huge TOS fan. While I wish we could have seen a fourth movie, and the third wasn’t a planned finale, I think it closes the era well. Excited for what’s ahead in Trek film! #StarTrek
'Star Trek 4’ is reportedly no longer happening
Paramount is moving on from the cast led by Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.
Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

ICE can't do its work without its agents and apparently it can't get agents without lowering the bar to become one so yes it is newsworthy that this is in fact what is happening
and the fact that it's happening is also an indicator of exactly how brazen the order to disregard the law is
