On these points, I agree 110% with Josh Marshall at TPM...

No one is really talking about this Pardon abuse. Child-Rapist Trump has let it be known by these Pardons that anyone involved in Criminal activity can receive one if they donate money and swear fealty to him. It's as immoral an act as I've ever seen. It's revolting, Trump is revolting. VOTE people

This is so spot on!

Near Boise. We have a problem, Idaho #GOP.

One important result of the Dems' surrender on the shutdown: It is already producing a rebellion from the party's base. Which is a good thing! Anger is the most powerful force in politics. I explore in my latest for Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/shutdown-d...

This….is why it’s a BIG fucking deal.

#Boise tonight. #IdahoEscape

This is always how it works, it's why they have a whip.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely. *If all goes by the regular schedule

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different. Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t. Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet. If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator. The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.

In which I applaud moderate Democrats for bravely folding to avoid helping any of their voters. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

None of the Dem Senators (or Democratic-caucusing) who voted yes on the CR are worried about reelection: • Dick Durbin – IL – Retiring 2026 • Catherine Cortez Masto – NV – Up 2028 • Jacky Rosen – NV – Up 2030 • John Fetterman – PA – Up 2028 • Maggie Hassan – NH – Up 2028 1/2

Democrats: "Vote for us so we can fight Trump" People: "Ok." Democrats: "It's too hard. But send us more money and we'll do better!" People: "No, fuck you." Democrats: "Why won't the stupid voters vote for us? It's their fault this is happening."

Go fuck yourself, "Senator" Whorehouse...

Only when the easy money stops rolling in.

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo sees a massive pile of Democratic Party horseshit in his living room and is sure a pony is hiding somewhere nearby. Uh-huh, yeah, suuurrrre...

And it is like Ground Hog Day again!

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Ain't THAT the truth...

Every single Idahoan should read this from @pfannyyy.bsky.social and the @idahocapitalsun.com ! #Idaho #IdahoHealth

Idaho would’ve been able to step up and help their citizens with SNAP. Now, the reality is Idaho cannot even begin to balance their budget. They went from a $2B+ “nest egg” in 2023 to -$100+M black hole. Corporations got their tax breaks at taxpayers expense!

Reminder that last night's deal was a vote to advance the bill, now Senators have to agree on how long to debate before voting on the final bill. You can STILL call your senators and tell them exactly how you feel about all of this. Just throwing that out there.

Voter accountability was not on their minds. None of the 8 senators will be running for reelection in 26, with the earliest set to face voters again in 28. Two are retiring next year. The agreement is almost as fragile as a Gaza Ceasefire. They'd do well to remember there's no honor among thieves.

The pathetic vibes are off the charts.

Huh. So Trump gets what he wants with the 8 Senate Dem Defectors capitulating, & he responds by issuing a raft of pardons for GOP anti-democracy miscreants 😒 Can you hear me now? Capitulation = Collaboration CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!

OMG 🤬 I get airports are fun & easy places for reporters to hang out, but get your lazy privileged asses (back) out to food banks & health care enrollment meetings, ffs 🤬 (1/2)

Pay to Play is a Wilks Bros wet dream. Watch for it in an #idgop #idleg hearing in the near future. wyofile.com/wyoming-to-a...

This is where your logic fails. Second post. We're not fighting each other. We're fighting you and you are abandoning us. You all do not know how to fight and cannot identify things worth fighting for. We must find people who can and will choose to fight for us. That is obviously not you all.

Bingo.

This is what I'm saying. Democrats have done so much to erode nearly all trust in the party. Their actions tonight gutted what little was left. You want to rebuild trust? Come clean about this and demand Schumer be removed.

There's a reason I agree with @ezralevin.bsky.social 99+% of the time.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

In theory this deal is days away from getting out of the senate unless they all agree to unanimous consent. So this isn't over yet. Just don't send the senators any fucking thank yous for standing strong if you are calling them. My god.

STUPID FUCKING TWATS!!!!! 🤬🖕

Once again, the Democrats snatch defeat/surrender/failure from the jaws of victory.

It's not Democrats vs. Republicans, it's the rich vs. the rest of us. Democrats like Chuck Schumer were never on our side.

A “promise of a vote” isn’t a win. It’s a setup. We’ve seen this play before. The people always pay the price. No more pinky promises from con men‼️ @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

🤣🤣🤣👍

The old guard Democrats are terrified of progressives getting attention.

Somebody let me know if Chuck Schumer gets trapped in a fire. I'll happily pitch in for a tanker of gasoline...

My blind/disabled daughter receives SNAP benefits. We are willing to wait for the remaining 35% of her disbursement so families like ours aren’t permanently saddled with doubling or more of our healthcare/insurance costs. Don’t let our sacrifice be for nothing.

FUCK CHUCK. Hey, Senate Dems — do you want to ever see another dime from me? Ever? Then, DON'T CAVE on this, and dump the fucking traitor Chuck Schumer. Otherwise, I've got plenty of other places to send my money, and I bet'cha tons of other Democrats do, too. Assholes...

Hey Democrats, your fund raising emails will be blocked, your fundraising snail mail will not be opened. GFYs
