@samsteindc.bsky.social sorry, I disagree with you.
"I'm a man of the people and you are not special as a congresswoman, actually, you are a representative. You should wait in the fucking security line with all of us," @timmiller.bsky.social tells @samsteindc.bsky.social and @willsommer.bsky.social of Rep. Nancy Mace's airport drama.

@samsteindc.bsky.social sorry, I disagree with you.
And yet we wasted 40 days and got nothing.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

But I can’t hold my caucus today so I’m resigning.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

I would simply not piss off my base instead of telling my base to shut up after I pissed them off but hey I’m not a senator. (And this is one of the better senators!)
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.
Reverse Robin Hood.

The MAGA Republican shutdown froze funding that helps families keep the heat on and stay warm. As temperatures drop, Mark Wolfe and I call on utilities to stop shutting off electricity and gas for families who are not getting the assistance they depend on.

Someone, anyone, tell me what is going on. I read this morning Dems caved. Is Schumer still in Leadership? Why don’t I just give up on it all?

Very true.
It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.
Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."
