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.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.
Paywalled...here's the full text such as it is for now.
We'll see if Axios is full of shit again or not.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.
Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.
It failed 48-51.
Murkowski and Paul voted yes.
Fetterman voted no.

What's the biggest inside indicator of Trump's poor health? JD Vance's behavior.
Vance knows that Trump's prognosis is poor. He believes this is going to give him the presidency before 2028. No American VP has ever behaved this way. His level of arrogance is off the charts.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.
Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Stephen Miller said that Kirk's last message to him was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence across the US and he will make this happen in Kirk's name. Right extremists were responsible for 75% of all extremist murders in the US from 2013 till now. 🤨

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed.
Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign.
If merit still matters, he should be fired.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.
