This Republican shutdown isn’t about responsible governance. It’s about cruelty and control — and a president who treats hunger as a weapon against his own people.

The federal government shutdown has entered its 36th day, becoming the longest shutdown in U.S. history.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 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.

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

A KKK endorsed POTUS just called Jewish people in NYC "stupid." No condemnation from Fox News and other mainstream media. No one on those networks is going to say that he's anti-Semitic. The double standard in our media is wild.

Joe Rogan is a coward and a highly paid right wing operative. He never invites people on his show that really disagree with him.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts. This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

But thank god we remodeled the Oval Office to look like a Saudi palace, right?

There’s a lot of excitement following Zohran Mamdani and Democrats’ big victories. There are a lot of takes, too. Here are some of the most interesting ones.

New York City's CEOs and other billionaires spent more than $40 million trying to defeat the mayor-elect. Now they have to live with him. n.pr/4qJe29O

The GOP kicked out Kevin McCarthy because he wasn't willing to screw over the troops workers and not pay them. It should not be so hard for Dems to convey this message. It's a true story.

Asked if he voted for Cuomo or Mamdani, Chuck Schumer replies: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City."

NEW: Amid concerns over the Biden administration's regulation of the crypto industry, billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen, a longtime Democrat, donated more than $5 million to groups supporting Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Since then, he's gotten what he called for: a hollowed-out CFPB.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

"Mamdani’s victory, above all, is a rebuke to the conventional strategies of the Democratic party. Democratic congressional leadership seems to have replaced the work of politics with a sort of learned helplessness," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

"The most memorable line from Mamdani’s victory speech last night, the one that got the loudest cheers, was this: 'New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants—and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.'” www.thebulwark.com/p/vive-la-re...

🔥🔥🔥🔥

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

BTW, Bill Ackman and the rest of the billionaires can fuck off. NYC proved it was not for sale. Bravo!!

Zorhan Mamdani challenges the Trump regime directly during his victory speech: “Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Government shutdown enters 36th day, breaking record set during Trump’s first term as impact spreads nationwide.

I’ve decided this guy’s the president now

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

“TURN THE VOLUME UP!” Banger of a line from Mamdani

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: TURN THE VOLUME UP."

“Donald Trump - since I know you’re listening - I have four words for you. TURN THE VOLUME UP.” - Mamdani

Mamdani: So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

Zohran Mamdani Drags the Democratic Party Into the Future #Trump

The results are in — congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 👏 With a platform to make the city more affordable, he’s made history as New York’s first-ever Muslim mayor and the youngest to hold the office since 1917. A milestone moment for the city. 🗽

Blowout. Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

It’s time for Democratic Party leaders and consultants to recognize what is happening and what Mamdani accomplished tonight. Turn left for the future.

NYC rings in the future of the Democratic Party.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.
