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.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

While Republicans fund permanent tax cuts for the ultra-rich, you are pushed out of the healthcare system or faced with higher ACA premiums.

The GOP’s Big Lie: “Dems want free healthcare for undocumented people!!”
Reality: hospitals spent <1% of Medicare funds on emergency care for undocumented people from 2017–23.
They hype pennies while slashing care for millions of Americans and sending $20 BILLION to Argentina.

Watching this makes it clear. They are gaslighting America over pennies while immigrants pay billions they’ll never use. It’s a distraction from the Epstein files, job losses, shrinking GDP and the widening trade deficit.
Don’t get distracted. Stay focused.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.

If Trump can unilaterally deny California, and others, the funding they are legally entitled to… then maybe California should unilaterally cease paying the federal taxes the administration is “entitled” to if they are acting legally!!!!

Just having a moment reflecting on what a ridiculous state we're in, where the president is making "deals" with private universities by personally meddling in federally allocated education and research funding and this is being treated as just ordinary politics.
If Harvard bows down to this lawless president, it will cover itself in shame and betray its motto “Veritas.”
Don’t pretend to stand for truth if you’re going to surrender to this bully. Appeasement only feeds the beast and puts us all at greater risk.

The Democrats should "bargain" with the Republicans and say that they will give up fighting for healthcare for undocumented migrants if the Republicans agree to extend the ACA and Medicaid for citizens.

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.
