McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Kim Davis, the woman who is determined to get gay marriage overturned, has had three divorces. David Ermhold and David Moore, the couple who she refused to give a marriage licence to? They’re still together over a decade later.

EXCLUSIVE: Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie plan to hold another major press conference with Epstein survivors early next week at the U.S. Capitol

Name them.

A couple months back, I was curious as to how Bill Pulte was able to obtain Lisa Cook and Letitia James' mortgage documents. Today, the WSJ reports that he was actually under investigation for how he obtained them. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

WATCH: Barack Obama just surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

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

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally. If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

The art of folding a winning hand

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.

All of this

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

Never gets old seeing President Obama cheered on because he’s loved, missed and appreciated.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

Dear Senate Dems, Republicans don’t keep their promises…

Before ACA, many Americans couldn’t afford insurance Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Mom’s insurance at 26 He made 35k a year which was “too much” for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

We are being led by absolute cowards

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Cave once, and history will make you pay twice.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Mark Wolf, who's resigned as a senior Reagan-appointed judge, accused President Trump of "using the law for partisan purposes" in a scathing op-ed that The Atlantic published today.

Sen. Lucy Football (D-NH)

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

For the price of a cup of coffee a day you can sponsor and American. 🙄😅

It should be that simple.

Tonight was a very bad night.
