Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

Instead of bailing out Argentina with $40 billion dollars...
Why don't we keep the money here and bail out the SNAP food assistance program?

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I’ve said it before: Hakeem Jeffries MUST GO
No fan of Hochul, but she’s said the right things in the final weeks— including here, where she stood up to no less than Hakeem Jeffries (who must go).

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Watching A House of Dynamite and really enjoying it so far, but the scene in which the Deputy National Security Advisor takes a call about a likely nuclear strike while wearing AirPods amid a crowd of tourists is too much.
Might as well Signal chat a journalist about it at that point
