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.

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Republicans are throwing a tantrum because Californians stood up to Donald Trump's election-rigging scheme.

Cry harder.
Mike Johnson: “I'll make a comment about the tragedy in California last night…It's just a blatant example of Gavin Newsom's immoral leadership and the fact that they will do anything to try to rig the system to win.”

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters — only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days.

If they expect us to eventually give up and back down, they are sorely mistaken. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/repu...

If this is enacted, Indiana will be sued.
NEW: Indiana already has stringent voter ID rules... & the GOP is advancing a bill right now to strip university IDs from the list of options you can use.

This would make it much harder for students to vote.

At polling site at IU Bloomington, 2/3rds of voters in November used their student IDs.

The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, would make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

Tomorrow in my Litigation Lookahead, I argue that pro-democracy lawyers need to fully embrace more aggressive tactics and set aside the legal "norms" that dominated the Biden era.

Dems are dreadful at politics.
Everything Trump does, he makes sure to attack Biden in the process.

When Biden did things in 2021, he didn’t mention Trump at all.

Dems think this puts them above the fray, but all it does is show how bad at politics they are.

Trump is president again because Dems held back!
