The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

I'm going LIVE across all platforms from the streets of D.C. to ask how people feel about Democrats caving. What questions do you want me to ask 🤔

Surprisingly Sen. Warner (D-VA) is a no, splitting with Kaine after the Cave Caucus dangled the RIF prohibition.

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Largely ignored by a media overwhelmed by daily outrages from the Oval Office, Trump’s destructive foreign policy strategy has some truly serious implications for America’s role in the world.

Trump Is Effortlessly Destroying Washington’s International Influence
With Congress compliant, the Supreme Court complicit, and media corporations compromised, Trump has forged a clear path to international irrelevance.

The following is a quote from Ronald Reagan's 1967 Inaugural Address as Governor of the State of California. You should take every opportunity possible to remind every Republican of it, and how it conflicts entirely with the Conservative agenda of today.

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs.

The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself.

More of this, please. Thank you.
The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.”

No warrant. No due process. No rights.

Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.

Just do it.

My latest: "We're In American Idiocracy Thanks to White Rage"

America can't have nice things, including a normal "Memorial Day" greeting, because of the country's inability to confront and uproot white rage and grievance that has turned us into an Idiocracy.

Trump has been president for 100 days—and he’s made a deliberate attempt to flood the system and exhaust the public.

It can be hard for most people to keep up. That's by design.

As a candidate, Trump said he'd lower prices. As president, here's what he's done 🧵
