DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

Epstein survivors just demanded the release of the files in this new PSA. Watch it here.

ICE confirmed at the raid at Bro-Tex on N. Hampden and Territorial Road in St Paul, just east of 280. Situation appears to be similar to the Lake/Bloomington raid that happened back in June, so please be careful.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Still super stressed about this.
Pat and I just got our medical insurance renewal. Our monthly rate is going from $763 to $2,323.

Our deductible went up too.

We knew it was going to be bad with the subsidies expiring, but holy hell ...

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

"We need solid guarantees that they won't simply renege"

What kind of guarantee can you possibly get from a regime that has been lying and breaking the law from the word go.

Hold the damn line.
@schiff.senate.gov is supporting Schumer's deal but is worried:
"They're telling us they're going to cheat on an agreement, and we need in whatever agreement we reach, to have some really solid guarantees in that legislation that they simply can't go and renege after it's done."
Schiff dismisses Trump's call to send Obamacare subsidies directly to people
Schiff suggests Republicans would "cheat" on any agreement Democrats ultimately reach with them in order to end the government shutdown.
