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.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Idea: Tell Durbin to retire early. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Absolute queen shit

I feel that way about the entire regime at the moment. They’re living large on my money. They’re helping themselves and their pals to our collective wealth and treating us like we’re all morons for choosing not to be thugs and criminals like themselves.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. newrepublic.com/article/2023...

25th amendment time!

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

Of course it's a drop in the bucket. But I don't want the idea of a privately-funded U.S. military to gain the least bit of traction - or precedent.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our Special Little Boy tore down half the White House. What a scamp.

Is it really possible that Karoline Leavitt didn't get *one* question today from reporters about Trump corruptly attempting to get his former personal lawyer at DOJ to hand over $230 million in taxpayer money?

The US government: Well, we might have zip-tied children and/or shot them with rubber bullets, but not the young ones! (not a joke or an exaggeration)

So, let me get this straight… the #EastWing of the White House is just gone now? Poof 💨 Gone 🫰 Just wiped off the face of the Earth? And it’s never coming back? Just like… it no longer exists? Only past tense existence for the EAST WING OF THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE? Am I correct?

This is very good

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents? Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

Cartoon

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Exactly.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Join ICE today!! 🤡🎯

The President of the United States just opened the door to pardoning one of the most notorious child sex traffickers in history. This should NOT even be under consideration. What is he hiding? Release the Epstein files.

The people who are sincerely in favor of freedom of expression will speak out now for the reporters.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

The person who did all of these things was called a “tyrant…unfit to be the ruler of a free people” in 1776. Yup. Give it a read…

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

In the last 6 hours, Trump has imposed: - A 100% tariff on medicine unless its producer starts building a new U.S. factory in the next 5 days - A 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities - A 30% tariff on upholstered furniture - A 25% tariff on “Heavy (Big!) Trucks”

Another day, another paper discussing "confounding" without reference to causality

By the way, when Ingraham asks Homan about the 50 K in a bag, and he doesn’t deny it but just says I did nothing illegal, it’s pretty obvious that it or something very much like it happened. And if it did, crazy to shut down investigation so soon. Pretty clear administration isn’t being straight.

In his entire answer he notably never once denies taking the $50,000.

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

At least Trump's dropped the pretense that this is about Charlie Kirk and is instead really just about him not wanting to be made fun of.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit
