If Senator Dick Durbin has lost his backbone because he’s retiring, I invite you to step down and let someone with a spine represent Illinois.

I guess he forgot when he said back in 2017, "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated"
If you're bleeding internally you just uhh call around and compare health care plans. Make a budget spreadsheet and see what you can afford. Do I have to spell it out for you. I have a ballroom to build

Eggs are down because the bird flu is gone (for now). It certainly isn't because of anything that idiot has done.
The y/y rate of inflation the month Trump took office was +3.0%. The y/y rate of inflation in September was +3.0%. In what universe is this “down”?
COLLINS: When Trump says grocery prices are down, what numbers is he basing that off given it's not true?
HASSETT: Inflation is down
C: But grocery prices are up
H: Not everything. Egg prices are down. Why haven't you covered egg prices?
C: We certainly have. But grocery prices are up about 1.4%

Trump thinks a monkey can do any job except his so I'm sure he'll find a way to hire unqualified FAA workers and "train" them as well as he "trains" ICE thugs.
Trump to FAA workers: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” The irony is, most are retiring, so good luck finding replacements.

We need fighters, not folders. And fighters who are effective at messaging. Neither of that is Schumer. That is why Chuck Schumer must go as Democratic Senate leader. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/chuck-schu...

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

All constituents of those that will vote 'yes', including the republicons need to call their office and demand they vote no. If they don't like the ACA, come up with a better plan BEFORE they destroy what we have.
Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

We protested and voted in great numbers. We're fighting the good fight, why won't the democrats in congress fight with us?
The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters.
Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further.
It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

I would think that after the No Kings protest and the major successes in last week's election that any Dem thinking of caving realizes they can kiss their 2026 reelection goodbye.
This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?
Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Maher said while referring to Mamdani that "we've tried socialism many times before and it never worked" I will say that if it wasn't for FDR's many social programs we wouldn't have gotten ourselves out of the great depression.

All the speculation on the Biden handlers keeping him under wraps was daily but all's quiet on the Trump administration behind the scenes. Tapper?
I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?
