The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

This is DoorDash’s “Breakfast Basics Index,” which tracks only 4 items: three eggs, a glass of milk, a bagel & an avocado & excludes coffee, bacon, bread & OJ, all of which have gone up in price this year. They cherry-picked a quirky DoorDash metric and spun it as proof of an economic turnaround.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

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.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Come join with others to stand against Trump's political prosecutions, against ICE's attacks on our communities, and for freedom of speech and the right to protest.

See you tomorrow.

‼️ “The displayed panels represented a history that we can never forget & from which we can learn, especially now that differences in the world are ever more magnified. They fought for a freedom that they did not have themselves”

‼️ Urgent appeal to be made to ABMC & US ambassador for their return.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Nothing thanks Americans for standing by Democrats on Election Day quite like @schumer.senate.gov and his wealthy Senate Democrat pals surrendering to Trump’s demands. #GutlessSenateDemocrats

The Democratic Party needs to be fucking decimated. The shitbirds who voted for surrender. And the shitbirds who are complaining now but have allowed Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries--two men who could lose a poker hand with a royal flush--to run the Senate and House caucuses. They *all* suck.

What's especially funny here is, Trump has no idea how Congress works beyond "me tell sissies do this," and they frequently don't do it anyway (see failed 1st-term ACA "reform").
I really love this for them
