80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

If “Moderate” democratic senators vote to open the govt w/out healthcare promises, they’ll hereby be called Liberal MAGA! 🤬

DO NOT CAVE!

@bwlib.bsky.social Would you please rt Still looking for some last minute items for the food boxes Cereal is $3 Can anyone help us www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Damn these pictures released by Getty look bad. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

An entire Russian brigade has been paralyzed with dysentery. Moscow admits that it can't keep up with the losses. NATO has won the production war producing more ammunition than Russia, who’s military, industrial, economic & political structures are NOW collapsing! 🇺🇦✊ www.youtube.com/watch?v=re6g...

Tell me more about ‘Sleepy Joe.’

That Texas gerrymander isn’t looking so smart anymore, now is it? Oops.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Burchett is Burchetting again.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I hope you discuss what Marco Rubio did with El Salvador. I hope it stops getting covered up.

When I see or hear Breaking News that’s exactly what I think

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network has officially been named the #1 publisher in the country and The MeidasTouch Podcast the #1 podcast overall according to new industry data released by Podscribe, the leading independent audio and video analytics firm.

@moneyquotes.bsky.social Too bad too many humans think that life us all about money.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

The is literally nothing more American and patriotic than declaring: No Kings.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

How much did you pay them?

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

Good lord. @apnews.com

As the government shutdown moves into its second week, air travelers can expect longer airport security lines—as TSA employees call out sick in higher numbers.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

I agree

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

This is very, very bad.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"
