Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

Priorities.

We need a combo of the New Deal and Reconstruction In TURBO drive

Trump would never have been elected if so many Americans cared about sexual assault. His voters knew his history and elected him anyway. They listened to him say he grabbed women by the p*ssy. jesspiper.substack.com/p/excusing-a...

This is what losing the trade war looks like

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.

They shut down the government for nothing. Literally nothing.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

We just f@&king won it all on Tuesday. What a perfect time to piss it all away.

They caved on the ONE THING they were demanding: an extension of the expanded ACA subsidies. Absolutely pathetic.

And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Next time I’m talking to a young voter and they ask me how they can trust Democrats to fight for them, what the actual fuck am I supposed to say? Oh they’ll fight for you until Chuck no longer feels like it?

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

We just won on Tuesday… JFC

The most corrupt administration in American history.

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."

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich. American capitalism is off the rails.

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.

Trump said he’d be “the jobs president.” Turns out he meant job cuts. Nearly a million Americans out of work, and he’s bragging about marble bathrooms and his gilded ballroom.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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.

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

Should have been the end right here for decency and compassionate minded folks. This is a man of zero character and a Liar and Thief...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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.

Last week: -Trump pardoned Binance's founder after a $2B deal with his crypto firm -Hegseth awards a DoD contract to a Don Jr.-backed firm -Trump orders his DOJ cronies pay him $230M in "compensation" We must not become numb to this. https://popular.info/p/3-scandals-in-4-days-that-would-define

MAGA: “We shouldn’t be sending money to Ukraine, we should help Americans first.” Trump: “Argentina is fighting for their lives.” (Sends 40 billion) MAGA: “Crickets”

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

This really was one of my main takeaways

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.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of George Santos, according to a Truth Social post.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days. Epstein Shutdown.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
