@sanders.senate.gov: "Even if by some miracle you got 60 votes, where do you think that amendment would go? Speaker Johnson has made it very clear that he's not going to entertain it. Trump would never sign it. So it is an empty gesture. It bothers me that people want to raise false hopes."

The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald happened 50 years ago today.

Gordon Lightfoot memorialized the tragedy in a haunting song.

Bob Dylan once implied that Gordon Lightfoot was the greatest songwriter of all time. He was certainly one of the great ones.

Chuck Schumer and ANYONE who supports him need to be ousted from the party. The same way they wrongly treated David Hogg should be the way that Schumer is treated now.
What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

1/6🧵MSNBC used to sit under the NBC News umbrella, which meant:
*editorial standards
*NBC legal review
*legacy-newsroom *resistance to political pressure

With MS NOW being spun into Versant, that institutional buffer shrinks.

< oversight = more vulnerability to political and corporate pressure..

Jeffries can go too! How are they so out of touch?? We, the American people, demand you do more. The democratic leadership needs to be voted out, we deserve leaders who will fight for us daily not just when it’s convenient for their reelection

Sen Angus King: “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work.”

How pathetic. And after last Tuesday.

We just have to elect better people for the times.

The white supremacist nation they crave won’t happen again.

In the end, progressive thought always wins.

We always win.

@sanders.senate.gov: "The message that came out last night is that some Democrats (remember, 47 people in the caucus, 8 voted, a small minority) that all over the country, people say, 'Stand up, fight, fight.' We had No Kings rallies, 7 million people coming out. And last night was a setback."

Canada’s loss of measles elimination status has reverberations for the Americas, the only region of the WHO that has ever achieved measles-elimination status. When even one country in a region loses measles-elimination status, the entire region loses it.

3/3 That’s a signal that someone upstream…wants to keep the audience calm and compliant…while the political class cleans up its own mess.

Refuse to make excuses for people. Believe what your eyes and ears show/tell you.

2/3 Lawrence…tonight…that wasn’t analysis; that was management messaging. When he suddenly downplays 8 Democratic senators caving…and starts cushioning Schumer…that’s not his usual spine.
