This was so patently ridiculous -- it took more than two years of Watergate being the No. 1 most investigated and written-about story in America until the "smoking gun" tape came out in August 1974. There are certainly Trump-Epstein bombshells that haven't been leaked yet

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Trump’s all-in for billionaires with special deals and tax cuts — but wants to shut down the agency that protects Americans from grifters and rip-offs.

The CFPB’s returned $21B to cheated Americans.

No wonder Trump wants it gone. He’s with the cheaters.

So many things get me about the roll over, show belly capitulation from the Senate. And one of them is that the promise of a future vote in the Senate isn't even the promise (ha!) of future *passage* of an ACA bill because House would have to deliver same promise.

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Too many treat loss of public education as unfortunate collateral damage. But there is no greater democratic institution than the one responsible for renewing faith in and principles of democracy for each generation.
We lose public education, we lose the long game, the short game, the whole goddamn game, people.
"Should the school privatization agenda succeed, our education systems would be beyond all recognition—exponentially more stratified, segregated, and sectarianized than they are now, further balkanizing an already bitterly divided nation."

When CA launched Prop 50, it was polling at 38%. And so, we did it anyway. Winning campaigns requires that your GOALS define your actions, recognizing opinion - including who agrees to vote - is malleable. In other words, be a thermostat, not a thermometer.

That video above is great. But delaying the bill until Friday or Saturday would give voters time to pressure cavers like Rosen, King and Cortez Masto.
