The art of folding a winning hand
Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

Any deal that does not include an extension of #ACA subsidies should be a nonstarter for Dems—

But at least 10 Senate #Dems are expected to support a procedural motion to end shutdown

gregshum 2h That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight. Awaiting my conviction. The tweet above over a photo of Trump ignoring a person receiving medical attention who passed out in the Oval Office

The New Gen Dems are ready to take the reigns
repjasmine & 30m Nancy Pelosi's career has been a masterclass on leadership. The first woman to ever hold the Speaker's gavel-and she did it better than most who came before her. From passing the Affordable Care Act to standing up to Trump, she never flinched. Madam Speaker, we salute you.

bensheehan * 4h GERRYMANDERING UPDATE: North Carolina has added a Republican district. So has Missouri. Texas, as you may have heard, has added five. That's 7 new Republican seats in the House for the 2026 midterms. Other states (Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois) are getting involved (Ohio may add two Republican districts). But California has the chance, tomorrow, to add FIVE new Democratic seats (to counterbalance Texas). That's what's at stake with Prop 50.

Ty SP! Hope your week is going well! 🩵
A cartoon lists large government and personal spending amounts, including $170B for ICE, $117B in tax cuts for the rich, $40B for Argentina, $250M for a vanity ballroom, $230M in DOJ payments to Trump, $172M for Kristi Noem’s jets, and $100M on golf. Beside the list, two people in MAGA hats say, ‘Food stamps are definitely the problem.’

JD Vance @JDVance I wonder if other VPs had as much excitement as I do Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell You're the first VP to deport a 4-year-old American battling cancer. But go on.

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.
For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

That Thursday feeling #TBT
Pete Souza published this photo titled "Rain and the Rose Garden", with the caption, "When the skies opened up one fall afternoon, I saw the President reach out to feel the raindrops". The image of President Barack Obama standing on the Colonnade of the White House, looking out at the Rose Garden was captured on October 15, 2014, when a sudden rainstorm began.

Mike Johnson is still delaying the swearing in of Adelita Grijalva to avoid a vote releasing the Epstein files.

They can try to manufacture as many distractions as possible, but this might be the one thing the right and left are united on.
Graphic on MSNBC showing bipartisan support for releasing the Epstein files: 82% of MAGA Republicans, 83% of Republicans, 86% of Independents, and 90% of Democrats.
