This is such a massive betrayal by the Senate Dems.
Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.

So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?

Seriously?
From what I have seen so far this does not seem like a good deal:

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Thus far, right winger efforts to politicize the shutdown have mostly resulted in them stepping on their own dicks.

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go.

They think he's an idiot and a buffoon.

Because that's what he is.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So Trump is defunding the police.
Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

No notes
It’s decision time.

If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

Glad we have Governor Pritzker to help fight against the authoritarianism that is becoming commonplace. Hope Dem leaders in Congress pay attention.
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

BREAKING: In a complete lie, Senator Jon Husted just claimed zero Ohioans are going to lose Medicaid because of the Big Ugly Bill. Reports show up to 490k of his constituents could lose care.

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Here are the facts.

The poorest fifth of Americans will receive less than 1% of the bill’s net tax cuts in 2026. The richest fifth of Americans will receive 70%.

How Can the Democrats Be Losing to These Cruel, Stupid, Inept People?
You may have noticed: While Republicans debate Medicaid and other cuts, there’s one aspect of Trump’s big ugly bill that absolutely cannot be discussed.

I've seen lots of reports of this. And the thing is - they've already ignored a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling. Why do you think they'd follow a SCOTUS ruling they don't like? Trump wants the military in the big, blue cities. He wants to control the "situation" and make up his own "laws"
HIRONO: If a court says this deployment of troops into our cities is not legal, would you follow that court's order?

HEGSETH: I don't believe district courts should be determining national security policy. If it goes to the Supreme Court, we'll see.

Trump appears to be careening toward a U.S. military strike on Iran as current and former Fox News figures — from posts on the network’s airwaves, elsewhere in the right-wing media ecosystem, and within his administration — fight to influence his decision.

Senate Republicans are apparently planning to make the draconian #Medicaid cuts in House-passed reconciliation bill WORSE even though it is strongly opposed by public and CBO estimates the Medicaid cuts alone will make 7.8M uninsured. Preliminary Senate bill language is expected later today.
New: The Senate will be MORE aggressive in seeking savings from Medicaid than the House reconciliation bill. And the provider tax will take a bigger hit. Per 4 ppl w @eleanormueller.bsky.social
