Ok. Rumor is Jeffries is telling his committees in the House to roll over — to use no real parliamentary measures to slow down the bill, even though the committees want to do this.
Words are great, but actions are what matters and D leaders are falling short.

It’s disgusting that Republicans are trying to jam the largest cut to Medicaid in history down the throats of the American people.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

this is the energy we need. The tea party showed that the people are the party way more than the officials. Primary every loser who isn't equal to the task ahead. Remake the party in the image of its voters. Theres no room for weaklings up there anymore.
I will donate as much as I can to his primary challenger
It's been nice to see the North Shore rallying behind the common cause of yelling at Seth Moulton. I hope this energy leads to a primary challenge in 2026.

TODAY is the #PrimaryElection in #CookCounty, so if you haven't gotten to the polls, now is your chance!!
Cook County needs all of us to keep strong progressives in office at the State and County level, and to elect Congresspeople who actually listen to their constituents.

so if this reporting is accurate, this was just a thing that happens when people are walking around armed. Wonder if you could, like, draw any conclusions from that.
Breaking News: The shooting at the Kansas City Super Bowl rally that killed one person and injured at least 21 others appeared to have stemmed from an argument between several people, officials said.
Police Say Argument Likely Led to Shooting at Kansas City Super Bowl Celebration
The authorities ruled out terrorism as a motive. As thousands were gathered, 1 person was killed, and at least 21 others were injured.
