Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Democratic leadership has again made a tragic miscalculation. They saw that voters turned out in force last week and thought it was because of the generic 'healthcare' issue.
No.
Voters showed up because they *finally* saw Dems fucking fighting.
Will they never understand....

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

But they still didn't follow up on any of this. Sitting on an unexploded bunker-buster and silent for six years....
Landon Thomas’s behavior seems to be embarrassing enough to the Times hierarchy that they had their spokesman go on record insinuating to the Post that he was fired for cause. I wonder whether legal signed off on that. nypost.com/2025/11/12/u...

In March & April 2011, the ties between Jeffrey Epstein & Prince Andrew & Fergie exploded in the press. www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainmen... In April 2011, Epstein emailed Maxwell that the “dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. VICTIM spent hours at my house w/ him..he has never once been mentioned.” 1/

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.

The NYT has so much to answer for. I would love to see real reporting on this, laying out who had editorial control at the time and where they are now. This still matters. This is relevant to today.
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Let's not kid ourselves that there's more than one option here. Even Blanche isn't that incompetent.
An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations.
They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump.
Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

This whole thing was stage-managed.
Schumer played public expectations *perfectly*, enabling Dems to win those elections—before quickly collapsing.

I am amazed by the bandwidth the BBC - Trump fued is taking up on the BBC. Someone plainly needs to state that the President of the United States and his role in stirring up an insurrection on January 6th is defamation proof. Not every incident of journalistic malpractice is equally consequential.

What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.

Ignore the eight who caved. Drawing our fire was their intention. It's the whole point of doing it the way they did. To take the flak for the rest.
Don't waste your anger on those who have prepared thenselves to ride out the storm. Focus on the ones hiding behind them, trying to escape notice.

Focusing on the "Capitulation Eight" plays exactly into Dem strategy.
Think about it: Only the eight safest Dems bent the knee. That's no accident. They knew this would be unpopular and arranged so that these would be the ones who switched...guaranteeing the rest would avoid blame.
