Sen. Elissa Slotkin tells NBC News that Capitol Police are now with her 24/7. "We've had hundreds and hundreds, if not closer to 1000 threats come in to our phones, our emails" since Trump threatened her and other Democrats.

Schadenfreude strikes again.

House vote to release the #Epstein Files: Yes Votes: 427 No Votes: 1 - Clay Higgins Louisiana — come get your rep 🤦🏻‍♂️

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If your outrage depends on who did it, it was never about protecting children.

Truth

Hoax is always code for, "I'm guilty."

The Epstein Files… otherwise known as the Trump Pardon List

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Thanksgiving is the time to share your blessings with your family and your closest, most enigmatic friends.

I don’t have unlimited toilet paper in my own house. Must be nice.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

The bill to reopen the federal government, currently awaiting a vote in the house, contains a provision that would allow Senator Ron Johnson and others to sue the government for at least half a million dollars.

Lots of people are sharing my video from FRIDAY about the Senate deal of that day, thinking it's about the SUNDAY deal. It is not. They are two entirely different kettles of fish. A great reminder always to check dates, although I've now hidden it so it should stop circulating.

Primary them all.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

I think we're beginning to see that concept of a plan.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Please let my State Senator become my US Senator. She is a fighter.

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis. I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO. Full statement:

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Mamdani's win in New York means less than you think. Spanberger's win in Virginia means Democrats need to cave on the shutdown as soon as possible.

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

This isn’t very hard, folks.

The Democrats have learned their lesson. by Susan Collins

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

DO NOT CAVE!

I’m a no.

Hear that @peters.senate.gov ?

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare. I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

A future vote on the ACA tax credits is not enough. The American people about to lose their health care need results, not votes.

All of this.

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.

Thank you, Gov. Evers!

lots of snark about Andre 3000's jazz flute era but it's like Herbie Hancock's robot voice lectures: when you've given this much to music you get to do what you want. that's just the rules

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.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

While this proposal offers huge compromises to Republicans, it shows that Democrats are serious about ending the Trump Shutdown with a deal that addresses the needs of working families. 🧵
