Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now. I get it. I have my own feelings. 🧵

We should start by taking healthcare away from Republican members of Congress, since they feel it’s a “fake economy” anyway

Yet again, the administration chooses not to feed hungry Americans. This is the very definition of callous. They could just follow the court order and do it.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

@democrats.senate.gov FFS! DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD DO NOT FOLD

Any Senate Democrats who vote to cave are feckless, weak-willed and gullible — or even worse. The American people want you to hold the line and keep on fighting. DO NOT FOLD!!!

My statement on the spending legislation and Republican healthcare crisis.

Trump’s presidential limo parked outside his Palm Beach golf club today. Trump is the first president to golf during a government shutdown.

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom. Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

I needed to share this 🤣

Damn. I missed Josh Shapiro tearing JD Vance a new one yesterday

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

Mamdani is going to implement Scaramouche law. Everyone will have to do the Fandango.

I suspect this clip will be played a lot in the coming weeks

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

A 50 year mortgage would be just great for the banks. We'd all pay more for the same amount of house, and banks would reap the profits. This is not the way to make buying a house affordable. Building more housing and paying a livable wage will benefit everyone except banks and their shareholders.

This is no way to treat our veterans Prime Minister. It’s now over a month since PM agreed on BBCBreakfast to meet with the nuclear test veterans (having kept them waiting more than a year to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition) & still no date offered by his office

I love it when a review articulates your thoughts better than you have managed to do yourself. observer.co.uk/culture/thea...

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base

“Even where survivors have strong evidence, the system rewards defendants who can outspend, out-delay, or out-threaten them. Part 36 offers — the settlement tools routinely used by corporate lawyers — can bankrupt a claimant who dares to reject a lowball offer and fight on.”

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown. In fact, he cut child poverty in half. He cut child hunger, too. I miss having a REAL President.

Morning.

Prize for the best dressed! Bat Masters veteran who served in the Royal Navy Helped rescue people in the Vietnam War, served in the Falkland War among other trips.

Honestly, fair 💅

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

With Trump rolling out 50-year mortgages, his constant claim that the economy is great because Wall Street is doing well, his massive tax cuts for the rich, pardons of Chinese spies and wealthy con men, lies that prices are down, and the Epstein coverup, will MAGA ever wake up?

The past 24 hours really exposed the Republicans’ non-plan on health care. Since they were unable to repeal the ACA, they intend to make health insurance premiums skyrocket so people can’t afford health care, which will ultimately make emergency rooms their primary care doctors.

At least Trump is coming back to DC early from his golf trip to Palm Beach so he can attend a football game while pressuring them to name the stadium after him. He’s always working hard to improve our lives.

There hasn’t been this many people lining up around the country to get food assistance since the last time Trump was president.

There was a time when she spoke out against sexual harassment perpetrated by people like Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, but that was a different Kelly. Now as long as she likes the job they’re doing, getting a little “handsy” is ok.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Did someone say “replacing Trump”?

The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are. I don’t care that I’m late to this; it’s to good to pass up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The #Trump shutdown and @houserepublicans.bsky.social extended PAID holiday isn’t about costs to protect healthcare and SNAP. Surely it’s to stop the #EpsteinFiles seeing the light of day, and exposing the dear leader’s alleged hinky past? Am I wrong @housedemocrats.bsky.social ? #AskingForAFriend

The same guy who "doesn’t want to hear about affordability" posted about his new marble bathroom 7 times last week.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro wasted our money pursuing sandwich thrower To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

Black women in America are more than twice as likely as white women to have a stillbirth. Getting physicians to take their concerns seriously is one reason for this disparity, they say: “If you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed.” (Published Dec. 2022)

It is the responsibility of all of us to return the nation to a path that is morally sustainable.

Interesting that Marco Rubio used to post a Bible verse every morning for many years but stopped doing that as soon as he started working in the Trump admin. Probably worried about getting struck by lightning.

I volunteer to serve in the next sane administration in the new position of Secretary of Degilting and Untackifying.

BREAKING: Veterans and activists in Tuscon have gathered to protest Mike Johnson’s decision to not seat Adelita Grijalva. We need more of this. Everyone must share it 💯

You won’t believe what a TSA worker said to me

🚨BREAKING: A civil rights organization sued the Trump administration Saturday over a new policy barring nonprofits from helping new U.S. citizens register to vote. The lawsuit calls the policy part of a “broader effort to ensure that new Americans cannot exert their democratic will on the nation.”

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
