GOP goes nuclear in Senate, changing rules to speed confirmation of Trump nominees after negotiations with Democrats collapse | CNN Politics Republicans jammed through a change to Senate rules on Thursday that will allow them to more quickly confirm many of President Donald Trump’s nominees.

The GOP-lead Senate is willing to go nuclear to get judges seated, but not to end the shutdown. Think about that for a minute. www.cnn.com/2025/09/11/p...

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

A couple living in Rep. Mike Lawler's (R-NY) district earning $82,800 annually would see an increase in costs of $13,459 every year. 😬

Brutal. Constituents in Jim Jordan's (R-OH) district would have to fork up an additional $16,846 every year to keep their coverage.

And we need people to step up and lead. Where are all of the leaders on the left? There are some people making some noise, but I don't see any leadership in the face of this authoritarian regime that is currently in power in the US.

Festering Carcass by: Oliver Kornetzke

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

Someone posted this on another site and I had to share. Powerful words to describe our so-called president. It’s almost impossible to believe that this is America in 2025.

Could data privacy in the US be any weaker? This is just another veiled attempt at the US to not comply with data privacy laws outside of the US.

If you are a resident of Boston, there is a municipal election on September 9th. I URGE YOU NOT TO VOTE FOR WILL ONUOHA. He does not support cycling, bike lanes, or alternative transportation. He wants to just push Mass & Cass residents aside. I received this message from his campaign. #boston

100%. I sent him a message asking him to step aside. I didn't get a response. He is the Democrat's leader in the Senate so we are all his constituents. If he can't acknowledge this, it is even more evidence that he needs to go. @schumer.senate.gov grow a pair or step aside and shut up.
