I'm one of the 77 million, because none of the American news sources are any good anymore (except Axios)
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

NEW from me: CO2 emissions in China have now been flat or falling for 18 months, the first time that energy demand growth at or above historical averages doesn't drive emissions up, thanks to the clean energy boom. 🧵👇

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

"Yes, we're falling off a cliff right now, but as you can see, we're the ones who objected to the bus going off the cliff."
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

No, we had a 100% chance of the ACA not getting defunded as long as the Democrats held the line.
Now it's a 0% chance.
Vote this assh*le out.

Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."

She's delusional and/or stupid if she thinks the republicans are going to fund the ACA even if they "promised."

SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

So the government opens, which is good.
But the GOP will vote "no" on whatever the Democrats choose.
Senate Democrats just bent over and allowed the GOP to rape the entire country.

Any Senate Democrats who vote to cave are feckless, weak-willed and gullible — or even worse. The American people want you to hold the line and keep on fighting.

Trillions of dollars of inflation?
Trillions of dollars of taxes on Americans?
No matter how you look at it, it's the biggest movement of money from the middle class to the wealthy since Ronald Reagan.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump says we're taking in "trillions of dollars" from tariffs. Is that true?
BESSENT: Uh. Over the course of the next few years, we could take in trillions of dollars
S: Are you worried though that the president's focus on revenue is going to hurt you at SCOTUS?
B: Not at all

Think of the pain of 20 million people losing their health insurance.
That's why the Democrats need to hold the line.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

They'll cave, and then when the GOP kills the ACA, they'll all whine about how the GOP broke their promise. Then the Democrats will protest on the streets, but it won't matter because the ACA will be gone. This is how everything works now.

Trump blames Democrats for the poor not receiving SNAP payments, while he does everything possible to stop those payments.
Just so everyone is clear: the President of the United States went to the Supreme Court to deprive millions of poor Americans of getting food assistance, including children of working parents.

Kindness in contrast to Russia's war crimes.
Firefighters rescued this little cutie🐶 from the rubble of her home in Dnipro, which Russia struck with a drone yesterday.
Her human is in the hospital. I hope they’ll be able to reunite soon.

One of the real reasons for the shutdown: the economic reports would show that the GOP's policies are decimating the American economy.
