To the apologists who say "the Republicans will never concede on the ACA subsidies" -- what was the whole point of the shutdown then?

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:

(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year

(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives

Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

Great - not only is Bsky permabanning decent accounts for unknown reasons, but now "internal errors" prevent any searching on this site

Did somebody give FElon access, or are TPTB here following in these "tech giants'" footsteps🙄

As an expert in American politics & elections, I feel like one of my responsibilities is to warn people away from some of the chicken little doomerism about 2026. People were saying Johnson was using Grijalva as a test run for not swearing folks in after 2026, but she's getting sworn in tomorrow.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.
