#BREAKING: The Trump administration has quietly banned the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from providing abortion services to veterans and their dependents, including those who become pregnant as a result of rape or incest.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem. We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

Jeffries is whipping NO votes in the House on the shutdown deal. From Jake Sherman at Punchbowl:

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

More than 15 Senate Democrats join GOP to advance nationwide ban on hemp products, including CBD gummies,

No notes….nailed it 🎯

The hemp farmers forgot to give Trump a piece of the action. Cut him in for 20% and this all goes away.

Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.

SEATTLE ELECTIONS UPDATE: Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell by just 91 votes, or 0.04%. About 6,400 ballots are left to be counted, which means the margin will likely remain very small, but Wilson has an edge. A machine recount is almost certain.

Launch this man into the sun.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Schumer and Durbin have got to go. I will be blowing up your offices' phone lines after the holiday tomorrow. - your constituent

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

Sheesh zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

"What is obvious, however, is that the Democrats who both voted to initiate the shutdown and then caved in the face of no material change of circumstance were either wrong 41 days ago or are wrong now." @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org assesses what the government shutdown has accomplished.

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.

Guillotines are required for both parties

This is the energy we need

Term. Limits. Age. Limits.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

The American People: “Chuck Schumer, we have provided you with all the leverage you need to win this shutdown fight, once and for all.” Chuck Schumer *flushing the leverage down the toilet*: “What?”

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

How long will we be hijacked by centrists, cowards and Chuck Schumer?

CUCK SCHUMER!

In a single calendar week, Schumer has both refused to endorse and vote for Mamdani AND ruin all the progress and leverage had during the shutdown.

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip. If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like. We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Credit where due, fucking with air travel was genius MAGA move. It impacts upper & middle class and, more importantly, a powerful business interest. Starving millions of poor people doesn't piss off Wall St.

Dem leaders like Schumer and Jeffries are playing by rules that don't exist anymore. They're predicated on the assumption that everyone has the same moral aptitude to do what is right for the majority, even if they disagree and are in the minority. And that.. just doesn't happen anymore.

AOC needs to primary Schumer.

Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence this destroys all of this. just a total gut punch

@aoc.bsky.social @ocasio-cortez.house.gov PRIMARY SCHUMER'S ASS !

What was the point of democrats turning out in droves on election day on Tuesday to register their disapproval of Trump only for Dem Senators to stab them in the back? Voters: We're here and we're ready to fight! D Senators: We're here and we're ready to surrender!

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

the moment Chuck should have said no to ever having the vote without getting major concessions was when Trump's goons put up signs on all the government websites blaming democrats for the shutdown. Now their narrative of the blame will persist and the coward's causcus will deliver weak gruel.

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

This is the Administration that these useless 8 Dem "centrists" want to negotiate with in good faith. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

How nice of Chuck Schumer to stab voters in the back after Tuesday's election results

Burn the entire political system to the ground

Tonight was a very bad night.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Officer Sandwich Guy be like

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

“[Zohran] has shown that you can have...the aesthetics of Barack Obama, but the substance…of Bernie Sanders.” @premthakker.bsky.social on what Zohran’s victory means for the future of the Democratic Party. Missed the election night livestream? catch up here: youtu.be/3BkEveJyXN0

@msnbc.com get this racist "ambassador" off your air NOW! He's literally slandering @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and lying about his positions.

I mean, you gotta make sure when the hungry folks start rioting that you have the ability to throw them in jail for it. Bonus that depending on the punishment it also has the potential to make them ineligible to vote. Win win for them. Love that the “no masks” doesn’t apply to DHS though. Just us. 😒
