This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Democrats would do well to remember that trusting a party defined by deceit and bad faith isn’t just naïve, it’s dangerous to democracy itself.

Iranian officials have told him that missile factories are working 24 hours a day, he said, and if there is another war, “they hope to fire 2,000 at once to overwhelm Israeli defenses, not 500 over 12 days” as they did in June.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),
isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?
I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Socialism doesn’t believe the government can do a better job than private industry.
Socialism believes that a government given a mandate can do the job with equity to all, and without a view toward making a profit.
Profiteering in healthcare, education, and the prison system is killing all of us.
