Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises. When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo

@adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Now is the time to be sworn in. Speaker Johnson has no more excuses now that the House is reconvening. Yay for you!!

Any US Senator can call a vote to Expel Chuck Schumer. It only takes one person to start the vote by resolution.

@governor.ny.gov Utah has a free bus zone in downtown. After leaving the free zone is when riders pay. I wanted to share this with you to help with your free bus dilemma.

JON OSSOFF IS VOTING NO IN GEORGIA!!!

I get it. You are pissed but hear me out. This is why Democrats are reopening the government.

A perfectly-timed autumn thunder storm ~ Every year, I hope for a day like this, & sometimes I get very lucky. This was more spectacular in person. #stunday #orangesun #eastcoastkin #artchallenge #autumn #autumnmood #fallfoliage #treephotography #autumntrees #landscapephotography #autumnlandscape

This sequel sucks.

Fact Check: "Historians rank Trump as worst president" www.axios.com/2024/02/19/p...

If Dems cave tonight on the shutdown without any guarantees on an ACA extension vote, call it a day on this leadership team and primary every single one of the members who made this happen.

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, and not because SNAP recipients want them to. They are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the establishment.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Wow — the self-proclaimed ex-wife of TN-7 Republican nominee Matt Van Epps calls him a “complete moron” & “emotionally abusive” & “a robot who does nothing but repeat Fox News rhetoric” Per allie phillips : www.facebook.com/share/17X2BX... (Her comments on this: www.facebook.com/share/p/16Gn...)

In some countries, a Congress that can't form a budget is automatically DISSOLVED, triggering a new election to find competent representatives.🤔Sounds like a good plan to me!

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Friends — the last nine and a half months have been frightening. But they have also opened our eyes.

As long as we are cutting healthcare for Americans, let's remove the lifetime healthcare for members of Congress.

Medicare for all sounds like a great idea to me. We're the richest country in the world. There's no reason we shouldn't have healthcare for everyone. The ultra-wealthy need to be taxed accordingly.

Earth to Democrats: Do NOT compromise on your shutdown demand. robertreich.substack.com/p/earth-to-d...

People not voting for Kamala, or not voting at all in 2024 led to this. Many on ACA aka Obamacare didn’t vote or voted for Trump. Vote in 2026 and hold politicians accountable for their voting records.

I teach preschool… give in now and all you teach them is that you will give in… You are giving up everything.

Shaheen, King, Kaine, Fedderman... they all need to go. We didn't stand outside shouting No Kings, donating to Democrats and telling them to hold the line for this. Horrible.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Human laundromats love to fold

President Trump has managed to add $1 trillion to our national debt in just 71 DAYS. What's he spending that on? Not you.

Bessent: The $2,000 divided could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases Translation: You’re never getting those $2,000 checks.

It doesn't do our country any good to starve people into a revolt. Trump would invoke marshal law and our country would be more under his thumb. It's time to open the country and make Johnson and the House work for their pay.

Time to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in!

It's disappointing the Democrats are ending the fight. It's also compassionate for those whom the President refuses to pay SNAP benefits. The plus side is the negotiations are gonna hold the GOP to commitments and if they don't follow through then Dem will use it to slaughter them in the midterms.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people. We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before. It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

Torture For Political Propaganda Trump drives sham narrative to oust Venezuelan leader. Trump fabricated claims Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan gangs orchestrated an “invasion” It's really about stealing Oil in South America, again. Gift Article

“If Trump continues to tell people that the economy is better than they think it is, they will have no choice but to conclude that he doesn’t understand their lives and doesn’t care about their hardships.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Morning.

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages. But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.
