Hundreds of Thousands of Anonymous Deportees Amid the president’s fast-moving deportation campaign, the stories of most people being swept up are missed www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Researchers behind a new study say that the methods used to evaluate AI systems’ capabilities routinely oversell AI performance.

There is no excuse for giving in to a bad deal — especially after voters turned out in record numbers last week to elect Democrats on the promise that they would stand up and fight for working families.

We oppose this deal and call on the House of Representatives to vote against it.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies. Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal

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.

I don’t know folks. We talk about getting the country back. But it can’t be given back to these people either.

"This is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time." - Neville Chamberlain, 1938 "Reopen our government, and then we can find a way to lower our costs about health care." - John Fetterrman, 2025

the returns from tuesday made it very clear who most people blame for the shutdown, so the caving from democrats at a time when people are hungry for a party that's willing to meaningfully fight republicans is comical

Fight don’t fold.

Might as well primary Schumer I guess. The campaign slogans would be so funny.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

Durbin‘s office offers only a recording that says it’s not fielding calls or taking messages outside of “business hours.” What a waste of a Senate seat he’s been during this fascist assault on our country.

And here I thought the Giants game was going to be the worst display of fumbling and dropped balls I would watch today. But there's always the Democratic Party.

What do you call a leader with no followers? Just a guy taking a walk. He's not just a senator. He's the *leader*. His job isn't his personal vote. His job is to unify and lead his caucus against the regime.

Tim Kaine is a chump who believes Republican promises. Call him and yell at him if he's your senator. Phone numbers here: www.kaine.senate.gov/contact/offi...

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

Aged like roadkill in RFK’s trunk.

Ngl the loud booing for Pete Hesgeth at the Lions/Commanders game felt real good

Exactly this — caving for nothing makes all that pain for nothing. Further, them caving lends credence to this being just some political scrum when it’s actually much more fundamental than that! Call those senators, please.

Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.

THIS!

Any Democrat who folds is in their last term before they are ousted in the next primary. There is no spin, there is no rationalization, there is no apology that will save their careers.

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands. (202) 224-3121

DO NOT CAVE!

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

This is remarkable.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

The ADL has dropped the pretense that its mission is anything besides whatever director Jonathan Greenblatt cares about. defector.com/the-adl-is-h...

The feds have declared "no more prayer" and are banning religious gatherings outside the ICE detention center near Chicago. The fake Christians keep getting more fake.

Text from a low income neighbor. His family hasn’t eaten in 2 days because they didn’t get their SNAP benefits He works 60 hour weeks at a min wage job & it just isn’t enough. He has young children. This is the horrific cruelty Trump is imposing on ordinary Americans😓 (We bought them 2 weeks food)

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
