Senator. Angus King: "Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work."

If you're too much of a coward to stand up to trump, then its time you sit your useless ass down somewhere, just not on the Senate floor. RESIGN!

Last night, tragically, 8 Democrats caved.

But the struggle continues.

Short term, we must not allow health care premiums to double for more than 20 million Americans.

Long term, we must provide health care to all as a human right.

Seeking relevance — and likely, a way to rake in some cash after an abysmal few years — Oath Keepers founder Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes told The Gateway Pundit podcast that he is “relaunching” the far-right group that helped foment the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

If Black Americans fight to defeat the dictator and help maintain our democracy, will true equal rights be a part of the deal this time around?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Let’s divide the air traffic controllers into two groups. Those who are loyal and good workers, and those who are traitors and not good workers, and then tell them that they need to work together and trust each other.
Trump certainly has a way of bringing people together. Not so much.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This Senate deal is political malpractice. Americans like me will be burdened with health insurance that is not affordable. If the Democrats doing this deal think that it is for voters like me, they are wrong.

What a failure of imagination and leadership.
