It is wild the degree to which the formerly capitalist free market anti-socialism cohort in American politics has been absolutely silent about Trump behaving like the CCP and having the government essentially force giant companies to make the state a co-owner and give Trump a management say. Wild.

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader. So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader. Here's what they said. @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

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. 👇

Vought holds one of the most powerful jobs in D.C., and he’s used his position to wage a quiet war to change the shape of the entire U.S. government. Here's what you should know about Trump’s shadow president.

"In 2010, he quit Congress and helped launch an offshoot of the Heritage Foundation think tank called Heritage Action for America, which was tasked with strong-arming congressional Republicans to act more conservatively."

In case it's not obvious, none of this is true. He's either innumerate, or lying.

Sheesh zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say. New at @zeteo.com w/ @swin24.bsky.social @premthakker.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : "You know what would be a better message than what Angus King is saying? MAGA podcaster Tim Dillon saying nobody's life is better since Trump took office, and maybe we should focus on helping people."

Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️ Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

Momentum builds for new leadership!

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

They never fail to disappoint.

Who imposed tariffs? Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce? Who undermined the Fed? Who halted renewable energy? Who's running deficits?

Billionaire ballroom builder crypto grifter and Gatsby party thrower Trump dismisses affordability concerns as “a con job by the Dems” and lies that “costs are way down”

Oh, there’s a con job going on all right

Latest admin deportation deal and misuse of funds. Mind boggling apnews.com/article/equa...

The Trump administration State Department is taking money that's supposed to be used for helping vulnerable refugees around the world and using it to bribe corrupt governments into taking people that ICE can't deport to their home countries.

"The Appeasement Eight gave Republicans bipartisan cover, and established another point of leverage Trump has over Congressional Dems...in a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Therefore, preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move." Yep:

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

TRUMP: The economy is as strong as it's ever been INGRAHAM: Then why are people saying they're anxious about the economy? TRUMP: I don't know they are saying that. The polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we've ever had

⚡️ JUST NOW — Speaker Johnson will NOT guarantee a vote on ACA subsidies even if it passes the senate (after the Schumer-orchestrated cave)👇🏽

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I can confirm that Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI and my co-host on the UnJustified podcast, has received a subpoena in this case. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/u...

Update: In 3 recent editorials, WaPo failed to disclose owner Jeff Bezos's interest in the matter under discussion. WaPo added one disclosure after @bgrueskin.bsky.social called it out. Two weeks after my story, the other two editorials still have none. And the paper still won't say why

“Everyone is on pins and needles," sources said, referring to prosecutors who fear being asked by the U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones, or his leadership team, to work on a case that Trump has said should lead to the arrests of an expansive list of individuals, including Barack Obama and John Brennan.

They got the HR guy to sign off on the subpoenas because the line prosecutors refused.

Breaking MSNBC: The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

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.

"If Democrats didn't exist, it would be necessary for Republicans to invent them." -- Elie Voltaire.

Since Trump and his aides keep lying about grocery prices, here are the facts: Food inflation in Biden's last year: 1.8 pct. Food inflation since Trump began his trade war: 3.1 pct. Trump has nearly doubled grocery inflation. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump refers to Democrats as "the enemy"

In July 2024, Roberts authored the majority opinion in Trump v. United States -- which ruled that a former president is immune from prosecution for official acts carried out during their presidency. In short, Roberts basically gave a blank check to a mad man dictator to do whatever he wants.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.

Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said. He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

"If you’re a Republican official convicted of corruption, your odds of receiving clemency from Trump are roughly 100%... "The latest move seems intended to deliver a political message: Those who assist Trump with his schemes need not worry about legal consequences..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

If Durbin weren't retiring, he would be primaried, and he would lose.

We have a special election in TN that we can win and excitement was off the charts after last Tuesday—they killed that buzz. Hopefully the candidate can build it back, but early vote starts in 2 days. I can’t stand cowards.

Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats suppress the vote when they cave like this
