She made us proud to be Democrats, and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and your friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in this next chapter.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Trump thinks his America is “respected again”, that it wasn’t under Joe Biden and Barak Obama.

Canada is also ridiculing Trump. So much for “America is respected under me”.

Republicanism hasn't changed, it's just become more obvious about its priorities. Remember when McConnell slapped democracy in the face by stealing a Supreme Court seat and not only did no Republicans stand up for democracy, they reveled in the attack on democratic values.

The imperious Rs no longer bother to negotiate; they just take what they want. Why TF do Dems embolden them? By yielding again and again, Dems sustain the presumption of R power, which deepens the GOP’s conviction that they are entitled to rule, while Trump grows darker with every act of surrender 🤬

From the high of our well earned victory on Tuesday, to the low of ceding that victory tonight.

The bumper says 'rugged working man'. But the cargo bed says ‘cosplay builder with soft hands’. Time to ban these fragile-man-mobiles from our cities.

It’s clear that the imperious Republicans would not negotiate, no matter how long the shutdown. As we come to grips with skyrocketing ACA premiums, it becomes even more paramount that we win the midterms. And if we win the midterms, I predict we will win a filibuster proof Senate in 2028.

Trump pitted hungry children against sick children. - Sen Maggie Hassan

It’s Epstein time 👊🤬

Trump’s cruelty prevailed. See you in the midterms, fucker 👊🤬

Her included.

When I look at Bondi, I see someone who is utterly corrupt. It seems pathological: I suspect she has been amoral her entire life. Not a hint of guilt, empathy or compassion in her: she has the eyes of a souless predator, eyes that belong on a shark or a spider, rather than on a human being.

“Pathetic.” to quote @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

So @schumer.senate.gov says no deal, but his own Senate are not following his “lead”. Great, a weak leader when we need a strong leader the most. 🤬 Nice one Senate Democrats. Pussies! Meeeooow! @democrats.senate.gov

We lost in March, we’re going to lose again 🤬🤬

If the Dems cave, not only will the Rs renege on their promise to negotiate on the ACA later, but Trump will never sign off on any new bill. He will have succeeded in destroying the ACA. We need to hold on to what we have now. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!! @democrats.senate.gov

After a month of asserting ourselves in this shutdown fight, it’s maddening that we have given our advantage away. So much for a different fighting Democratic Party. We are weak after all. 🤬🤬🤬 @commerce.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I bet @fetterman.senate.gov is caving the fake Democrat that he is 🤬

Democrats CANNOT LOSE THIS SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN. That will undo Tuesday’s win, will deflate the spirit of Democrats. Back to square one 🤬

I don’t know if I can trust @cbsnews.com with anything anymore, because of David Ellison and Bari Weiss. That’s devastating to say.

Trump is trying to buy support by paying off voters with a $2000 stimulus check, and with the “Hundred of Billions of Dollars” that should be sent to THE PEOPLE instead of to the money sucking Insurance Companies to “save the bad Healthcare provided by Obamacare”. Still no plan to replace the ACA

@schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov @fetterman.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social

It’s a Republican bait and switch. Trump wants to dismantle the ACA, still without a health plan to replace it.

👀😧

THIS.

So now Trump is trying to help Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian dictator, to win his election next year by helping with Hungary’s economic crisis of higher prices by allowing Hungary to import Russian oil, and by endorsing Orbán ahead of the election. Hopefully, the “Trump effect” will doom Orbán.

No. A single, powerful word, aimed at Trump.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

So it seems that instead of holding out for an actual deal, not a promise of a deal, Dems are taking a win for the APPEARANCE of a win in that they have shown America how far they will go for them. It will then place pressure on Johnson to open the House and swear in Grijalva, the 218th vote.

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny. Some decry this view as "socialism." I call it fair.

You all need to hear this. Mellissa Slotkin is warning us that Trump is redefining the use of violence within the autocratic playbook to seize absolute power, that things will quickly escalate. This warning is deadly serious.

All serious sex offenders should be placed in Club Feds around the country. What’s good for Ghislaine Maxwell is good for all other harcore child rapists. And if not, their lawyers should sue the government for a two-tier system of justice. 🤷‍♂️

Trump is trying to repeal and replace Obamacare, again, and has no concept of a plan, again. Bring on the midterms!

A new idea has been embraced in the Dem Party, started by AOC, which I love. She said there are many factions in the party and they all have a place in the every growing Dem tent. Mamdani is a socialist, Sherrill and Spanberger are centrists. United we stand to defend democracy, divided we fail 🇺🇸 .

Sounds like Senate Democrats are going to accept a promise that Republicans will fund ACA subsidies (with our money). Trump wants to dismantle the ACA, 10 Senate Democrats are in talks with Republicans. What does that mean for the ACA?

So did all the rich people move out of NYC yet?

WOW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom gets a rock star welcome in Houston, Texas — greeted by cheering crowds lined up outside his rally today.

The most interesting about Trump springing George Santos from prison is that Trump is still in the Epstein Files.

Looks like the Russians like his Russia tie. It’s not red-white-blue either. It’s red-blue-white. Like the Russian flag. For a meeting with Zelensky.

If your savings account can’t buy you a yacht, maybe stop voting like it can.
