The fix is in.
Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

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.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Trump is sending our economy into free fall and his solution is to throw millions of Americans off their health care this fall.

Yes we are offering a compromise. Just a simple one year extension. No bells and whistles. So Americans don’t see devastating rate hikes - rates doubling in many cases - this holiday season.
Now Republicans just need to say yes and the government reopens.

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.

As people go onto the health care enrollment websites, and see that Trump has doubled their premium, the pressure on Republicans to fix this will mount. This isn't get easier for Republicans. It's getting harder.

Brand new data:
Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).
These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.
Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Protecting people's health care is worth fighting for. Stopping our health care system from going into a death spiral is worth fighting for. People want Democrats to stand for something.

Hey I just got to Miami with @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov because South Florida is going to be hit harder by Trump’s health care cost increases than any other part of the nation. We are here to hear stories from the people whose lives will be ruined and want us to FIGHT for them.

Donald Trump is trying to bully us into silence. He’s abusing his power to create a censorship state.
But tomorrow voters in New Jersey, Virginia and all across the nation will show up and make clear - we will not be ruled. The people are still in charge.

South Florida is the biggest market for ACA plans in the nation. And families there are being hit with 75% premium increases because of Trump’s policies.
I’m heading there right now w @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov to call on Trump to end the shutdown and stop these premium hikes

The shutdown is fun for Trump because he gets to throw lavish Gatsby-themed parties for his millionaire friends AND invent new and innovative ways to hurt poor people.

Good morning.
People aren’t as dumb as Trump thinks.
They know he’s busy doing ego stroking world tours and building his ballroom. Everything but trying to end the shutdown.
He could open the government tomorrow if he put in any energy at all.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law.
This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.
He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…
…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

The GOP premium increases are going to devastate Florida. @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov and I are headed there Monday to make sure Floridians know what’s coming if Democrats don’t win this fight.

The AI industry doesn’t want you to know that massive job displacement is coming. They don’t want government to do anything to slow it or protect workers from it because AI leaders are planning to become trillionaires (not kidding) by destroying your jobs.
