Glad the Trump knows no history. Otherwise he might know about the famous convo in 1652 between Bulstrode Whitelocke and Oliver Cromwell about Cromwell’s becoming king. Cromwell though all of victories meant god wanted him to take the Brian..

Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.
Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

If Trump trained and became an air traffic controller, could he still take beauty naps during his shift??
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The reality is that there is a point when it will be too late to make a meaningful difference on health care premiums—and so far, Republicans are saying “never” to stopping the worst of the MAGA health care hike.

Bernie Sanders, just now on Rachel Maddow’s program, mused that if Schumer were ousted as Senate Majority Leader, there’d be no one to replace him. Well, I can think of a few, starting with Chris Murphy of Connecticut.

And also, Mr. President, you are so very loved by the American public, as evidenced by the enormous cheering for you yesterday at the Washington Commanders game, and the many respectful hand salutes accompanying those enormous cheers ...

Senator Shaheen is auditioning for SNL with her “no one cares about healthcare more than I do” routine. Tone deaf.

Chiuck Schumer:
attempted a strategic play, which failed miserably
OR
couldn’t unify democratic senators for one of the most consequential votes of our time.
Either scenario warrants Chuck Schumer’s replacement as Senate minority leader.

The shutdown. Missed paychecks. Stress and anxiety. And then the cave-in. What was it all for? A few months’ reprieve from more layoffs of govt employees? A pinky swear about a (meaningless) vote on health care? And the likelihood it’ll all repeat in a few months? All just for bupkes.

And Trump would need to sign it into law
So the Epstein Files are not really near the light of day, but it puts political pressure on the Republicans and could embarrass Trump if he has to veto the bill, or if he signs the bill but then asserts privilege and refuses to comply

Republicans in Congress extended tax breaks for billionaire corporations, but they refused to extend tax credits to lower health costs for working people.
While Trump and Republicans inflict pain on people, Democrats’ most important job is to fight back.
This deal is a mistake.

What a phony. Schumer allowed just enough of his members to cave so he could claim his hands were clean and that he’d “keep fighting.” Schumer comes from Brooklyn and has a bridge he is trying to sell to all of us, but we are not buying
RESIGN!!!!!!!!!
Hey, @schumer.senate.gov!
Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.
Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.
Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

That two-headed Trump dollar is quite lovely, in a narcissistic, egomaniacal way, but I would like to have the Harriet Tubman $20 dollar bill. After all, her contribution to America is worth at least 20 times his.
A two-headed coin.
Isn’t it the perfect symbol of Trumpian politics?
Heads, I win. Heads, I win. Again.
Yes, the odds are forever stacked against you!
