The cave was engineered by two Democrats & an Independent who represent lily-white New England states. Not a single one of the four Black Democrats in the Senate voted for it. There’s a lesson there for the Democratic Party, listening to your base, & which states should be early primary states.
Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.

Not one House Democrat cracked.

Not one House Democrat caved.

I’m going to remember that.

A new week starts with Day 1356 of Russia's genocidal war.

Ukraine continues to simultaneously struggle for power but causes fuel problems in Russia.

This is THE daily thread, with all the important news, fact checked, in one place, every single day - never missed one yet!
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Primary them all. Mercilessly. Relentlessly. They've got to go.

They should remember their friend McCain

Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them.

I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.
No health care, no deal.

Fight back, don't surrender.
It's time to pass the torch.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
let me just say Harry Reid would NEVER have allowed this

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

Dystopian.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This is fantastic. Let's hope they vote in 2026, 2028, and all elections.

Time for people to learn this Polish word: Łapanka (pronounced: Wah-pankah). I can't think of a better word in English for what ICE is doing now.

Reminds me of this.

The brutality of this is unacceptable. We must resist this lawless thuggery.
CBP has been hitting Skokie, outside of Chicago, hard today. At 10:45 today, they jumped out of their vehicles and arrested a man on Lincoln Ave.

It's almost 100 years old but it has contemporary relevance. Watch it.

Horrifying. Are these people heartless robots? How can anyone do this? Humans are horrible creatures. Trump. Miller, and ICE are just bringing it out to the surface.
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

In other words, Trump wants to continue to starve people
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Because their "philo-Israelism" or "Christian Zionism" was not about supporting Jews.
Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man
