A while back, I switched to getting oat milk instead of whole milk in my lattes. I'm not lactose intolerant but I wanted to see if dairy was contributing to my acid reflux issues. It may or may not have, but now I like the taste of oat milk in my drinks better! It's creamier or something idk. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Found this amazingness at Michaels today. As much as I want to keep it for myself, I'm giving it to my nephew for Christmas. 🐈💨😹

Despots weaponize their opponents' compassion against them. Trump wants to use people's pain as extortion to get Democrats to fund his corruption. I didn't want the shutdown, but Democrats would be suckers to knowingly vote for a budget that destroys our democracy.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Hi from Roanoke, VA! 🙋‍♀️ Here for a work convention!

And go figure, two out of the four days I'm here are FREEZING! Like record-breaking cold for this area. It warms back up into the 60s right after we leave bc ofc. 🙄

But anyway, cool place! I love this historic hotel and the cool AF zodiac ceiling!

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

As people go onto the health care enrollment websites, and see that Trump has doubled their premium, the pressure on Republicans to fix this will mount. This isn't get easier for Republicans. It's getting harder.

The Tuesday election was a message to Democrats to keep fighting. People are scared at what Trump is doing to their lives and our democracy. And they desperately want the opposition party to stand up to him, not willingly get run over.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

We pwned him so badly he inadvertently admitted it was his shutdown.

Wow!! This makes me even more proud to be a monthly donor to Senator Murphy's AMP!! 💙
I launched the American Mobilization Project because the fight can’t wait until 2028 or even 2026. AMP channels thousands of small contributions to anti-Trump mobilization all over the country.

1/ A few groups funded by AMP had big wins last night.
They want us to feel powerless, but we have real power.
AMP’s goal is to supercharge deep organizing and mobilize as many Americans as possible by investing in the state and local organizations already doing this work on the ground.

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

Good morning.

Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.

But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.

A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Protecting people's health care is worth fighting for. Stopping our health care system from going into a death spiral is worth fighting for. People want Democrats to stand for something.

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states.

Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

Good morning.

People aren’t as dumb as Trump thinks.

They know he’s busy doing ego stroking world tours and building his ballroom. Everything but trying to end the shutdown.

He could open the government tomorrow if he put in any energy at all.

You need to understand that he actually believes it is illegal to criticize him. Why? Because Trump believes he - not the people - decides the law.

This is why we are in the middle of, not on the verge of, a totalitarian takeover.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.
