Good job Kaine & Schiff forcing this vote. Kudos to Murkowski for voting for it. I disagree with Paul on oh-so-many things, but he deserves credit for being reliable on this kind of issue. Fetterman & the rest of the GOP.... Trump will read this as approval for his lawless murders.

Imagine if health care was just something everyone had, and not a zero sum competition between "good" people and "bad" people

This video is from about a month ago, not today, but the rest of the point here stands. Absolutely out of control agency.

Conversion "therapy" is cruel. It harms those subjected to it.

The temptation to redraw the lines in this way comes (in part) from spending too much time in the 2-D world of polling. They think: if nearly 50% of people voted for Trump, then clearly Trump is acceptable to most people. But that's not what happened! 33% of eligible voters voted for Trump!

In their own words the Republicans declared war against the United States and now they are waging it.

This is horrifying. We don't know what happened yet. This may not be an attack, and it may not be political. But we're allowed to notice that she was the judge in a recent controversial ruling against the Trump admin & this is 1 day after Miller's incitement to violence against judges.

Why aren't Democrats talking more about one of their most successful politicians in the last 17 years? His turnout numbers were astounding. He dominates online conversations. They should be trying to capture his momentum, not hide from it.

Worth remembering the massive multi-week story that the Rev. Wright scandal was. Now Trump's former "spiritual advisor" found guilty of pedophilia. Meanwhile, the GOP is willing to extend the govt shutdown to cover up (more) evidence connecting Trump to the world's worst pedophile sex trafficker.

I don't even know which abusive action by ICE to be talking about right now. The shooting? The tear gas next to an elementary school? The arrest of elected officials? The raid of an entire apartment bldg? Absolutely unhinged & lawless organization terrorizing civilians, beyond any hope of reform.

Unanimous First Circuit takes pains to emphasize that this was an incredibly easy case to decide, despite writing a very long opinion knocking down every ridiculous argument the Trump admin made.

The greatest asset the Democrats have is that, while today's GOP is malicious, they are also led by people who are completely unskilled. Unfortunately, most Democratic leadership is not skilled enough to understand this advantage or take full advantage of it.

Nervously, cautiously - but also excitedly... I hope this progress holds. May it be a sign that the end of so much pain and suffering is finally near. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

My take on the MA Senate Poll that's been going around since yesterday is summed up in these two screenshots. 1) Markey has been clear that he's running, but pollster presents it as an open Q 2) The Moulton-Markey question is framed with an age Q Zero good faith here. #MAPoli

Just outrageous cruelty. Think about what it says about the authors of a policy like this that built on the twisted manipulation of children.

Russ (Vought, Project 2025 co-author & Trump budget chief) literally went on Steve Bannon's show and said the exact opposite like 5 days ago. With his own mouth, he volunteered that he wanted a shutdown so he could make these cuts.

I am very glad the Democrats finally picked something to hold the line on in this budget fight, and I am very glad that they are (so far) holding that line. But, of all the options available, the mishmash of health care policies was such a bizarre choice.

This is an important point. 9 years later, I still hear about the "deplorables" comment from moderates and anti-Trump conservatives. Trump's language - about all Democrats - is far worse, far more frequent, and receives a fraction of the attention.

everyone was yelling at Senate Democrats in March that exactly this would happen and they were right!

There is a lot going on and much of it is bad, But also, Go Sox.

Congrats @schumer.senate.gov ! 8 months into Trump's second administration, you're finally showing a hint of maybe possibly getting it!

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Let's elect some better Democrats. secure.actblue.com/donate/alexr...

It's not an exaggeration to describe Hegseth's speech today as encouraging our troops to: - commit war crimes - sexually assault fellow soldiers - discriminate against fellow soldiers Horrifying display. Hegseth must be removed immediately.

This is the administration that just fired a bunch of FBI agents for kneeling at a BLM protest five years ago.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Trump and his gang are opposed to any immigration of any kind. They'll make some exceptions if the immigrants are rich and white. It was never about "illegal immigration" or "securing the border" to them. It is white supremacy.

Other than AOC, almost every single Congressional Democrat stopped saying "Abolish ICE" in 2020. Hasn't said it since. If this ⬇️ is something you believe, start finding some primary candidates to support.

This morning, the @bostonglobe.com published factually inaccurate information about my race for the US Senate. Over two hours ago, I reached out to the author James Pindell, and Sam Brodey (listed as a contributor), highlighting the error. Over 90 minutes ago, I reached out to the editors.

This is something I talk about on the campaign trail often. If we want to achieve any of our larger policy goals, we have to start by fixing this broken framework.

This is great. Good job @raskin.house.gov.

With government funding set to expire Tuesday, Speaker Johnson refuses to bring the House back. He knows seating Adelita Grijalva, just elected in Arizona, would trigger a vote on the Epstein Files. Putting politics ahead of governing is reckless and wrong.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Go Sox.

And a Democratic party unwilling to engage with these tools is a completely unserious party.

Appeasement never works. Sadly, it seems people have to keep learning that lesson over and over and over and

Great article. Ed Markey has represented MA well, I've voted for him every time he's on the ballot. But this isn't about him, it's about us. That's why I'm voting for Alex.

Lying to Congress is a crime. The number of people who have been allowed to get away with it over the last several years (including cabinet members & possibly at least one SCOTUS judge) is a critical piece of the story of how we got here. But there is no evidence Comey committed this crime.

Awesome article about the campaign today in MassLive from John Micek. www.masslive.com/politics/202...

I think Ds should ask for the firing of RFK in the budget negotiations. It's a big, easily understandable ask, which would massively benefit the American ppl, and I think it would split the gop, many of whom want rfk gone anyway. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/demand-the...

This thread is a good assessment of the Comey indictment. It's obviously not meant to be a serious charge. It's out in the open political retribution. It's a threat to those who would stand up to Trump. But we won't back down.

This is good framing

Put the kids to bed and make some fundraising calls, good plan, I thought.... The kids, after "going to bed": (Warning, turn the volume *down*)

Great article about the campaign today in the North Star Reporter, check it out! northstarreporter.com/2025/09/25/t...

Another example of double-digit swings towards Democrats since inauguration. We have the energy and enthusiasm to make massive strides in 2026!

Some good news from yesterday

Chuck's right. If only some Senator, or maybe even a group of Senators, could put together some plan of action to fight back! Hey, @schumer.senate.gov, you wouldn't happen to know where we can find some of those, would you?

DJT: I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: this business decision was driven by DJT: No I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: Unitary executive theory implies that DJT: I SAID I AM USING THE STATE TO PUNISH CRITICISM AND EXTORT PEOPLE FOR MONEY

Framing matters. Good job, @nytimes.com Shameful stuff, @politico.com
