History will remember Donald Trump as a treasonous sexual predator and felonious conman.

Yay! A federal judge has again halted Trump’s attempt to shut down Voice of America. Judge Paul L. Friedman blocked Trump’s August order canceling the union’s collective-bargaining agreements.

He's always been a vile piece of shit. Nothing he says surprises me. What does surprise me is that people are still giving his vile ass a pass.

Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats kicked Thune's ass today. Now the Epstein bill is onto Trump;s desk for signing. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

This is... Surprising? ktla.com/news/local-n...

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

The kudos to MTG are a bit off base. Her position is that Trump should not oppose release of the files because, in her view, they don't show he's done anything wrong. So other than disagreeing on release of the files, she's still supporting Trump.

Seriously @megynkelly? Are you implying it is ok to rape a 15 year old? Are you using your platform to create a defense for someone who may have raped a 15 year old? Are you mentally ill and deranged?

The October jobs numbers are being hidden for the same reason the Epstein Files are being hidden: They make Donald look really bad.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

😶‍🌫️

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Obviously this person is very dangerous.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015. The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server. Support independent media.

As they should... www.scmp.com/news/asia/ea...

Newsom Slams ‘Pathetic’ Shutdown Deal as ‘Surrender’ Gavin Newsom and other prominent Democrats are blasting the Senate’s tentative deal to end the government shutdown. www.thedailybeast.com/gavin-newsom...

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown. There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.

I know there's no chance this will change. But the current two party system leaves the majority of Americans with exactly... Nothing.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

People were donating to food banks in communities across the country. Many SNAP recipients who were struggling felt the momentum. They too need healthcare & many didn't want us to cave. 7M of us didn't march to cave. We didn't win every election last week to cave. Shame on the cavers. Vote them out.

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Schumer

Tonight was a very bad night.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

The 8 Dems who surrendered: @SenAngusKing @timkaine @SenCortezMasto @JohnFetterman @SenatorDurbin @SenatorHassan @SenatorShaheen @SenJackyRosen

The people are demanding Democrats who are fighters. The folders must step aside.

Primary every Dem Senator that just caved to Trump.

Americans deserved a better deal than this one.

Schumer is spreading the word he was against the deal. But he is the leader. So he either tacitly let it happen or he failed as a leader. No excuse works for him. This is a fail.

To be clear: D senators trusting R senators who promise a vote on ACA subsidies at some future point is nothing more that a liar convincing a sucker. A sucker for believing the lie, and for believing that Johnson will ever bring it up in the House.

I voted no tonight. But the next phase of Democrats’ health care affordability fight is starting. While I personally don’t believe Republicans will keep their promise to work with us on lowering health care costs, I would be thrilled to be wrong.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

Yep!

NO DEAL SURRENDER NO DEAL SURRENDER 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 AND SCHUMER IS WEAK WASTED ALL THIS TIME FOR NO DEAL

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Tim Kaine (VA) John Fetterman (PA) Dick Durbin (IL) Maggie Hassan (NH) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) Jackie Rosen (NV) Angus King (ME) They do not support the concept of a fundamental right to healthcare. They sold the American people out. They must be primaried and stay gone. Chuck Schumer too.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line. I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

Senator Jon Ossoff, who is vulnerable in his re-election bid next year, just voted no on ending the filibuster to reopen the government.

It should be that simple.

What Democratic voter is excited about the Democratic vote to reopen the government without guarantees on the ACA? Let me know.

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
