Democrats who care about the country should not just vote no on this terrible capitulation to Trump and MAGA. They should demand a change in Dem leadership in the Senate and support primarying these folks who so clearly are not up to the challenge our country faces at this moment.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Heartbreaking. I’ve asked subscribers to send me screenshots of their premium increases, and I can’t even tell you how many emails I’m getting like this.

Folks can’t pay these rates. This family is in TX, but it’s happening everywhere. Congress MUST extend the ACA tax credits.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Updated partial list of Dem Senators negotiating to end the shutdown:

Gary Peters (D-Michigan)
Mark Kelly (D-Arizona)
Angus King (I-Maine)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Maggie Hassan (D-NH)

Instead of using our election blowout as leverage to extend ACA credits, they'll agree to a "promise" to do so.
Fvck!
Our work is NOT done.
"Centrist" Senate Dems are negotiating to end the shutdown in exchange for "promises" to extend #ACAcredits down the line.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

Hit those phones, and target those "centrist" Senators.

Make this POS ICE agent go viral. Get ICE out of our communities.
Another disturbing video out of IL, reported by Block Club Chicago: agents/thugs are seen detaining a man, pressing him to the ground as he gasps, “I can’t breathe.” A crowd quickly forms, begging them to stop.

We are outraged over the use of excessive force in immigration & federal operations.🤬

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.
