I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Thanks to a tip, we have just found possibly the funniest photo of CU TPUSA Secretary Nathan Ellis, and confirmed his membership in a third hate group: Asatru Folk Assembly.

Today is Day 10 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.
3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

This is why Democrats need to keep the shutdown going indefinitely.
The administration is acting lawlessly. There’s no check from Congress and no effort to find a middle ground.
Refusal to cooperate is the only response.

At Darrell Issa’s office in CA-48, protestors tried to deliver the message: “Cancel the Cuts, Lower the Costs, Save Healthcare” before Republicans shut down the government Tues nite.
Issa was in, but wouldn’t meet with his constituents.
He can be defeated when we pass Prop 50 in CA.

GREAT showing at Darrell Issa’s office Friday to protest his govt shutdown & demand changes to his Big Ugly Bill. The message was “Cancel the Cuts, Lower the Costs, Save Healthcare.”
Thanks to Senior Caucus Chair Mike Thaller for getting this going.
Bye Bye Issa in ‘26!

Kevin Kiley in CA-03 is one of the worst MAGA Congressmen because he’s both *young* & misguided!
He voted to take healthcare away from 17 million people & now he’ll shut down the govt Tuesday.
These protestors at his office told Kiley: “Cancel the cuts, Lower the Costs, Save Healthcare!”

Trump must be impeached the second Democrats take the House for a zillion high crimes, but high among them is the completely illegal release of Mikie Sherrill’s military records.

This would be a hard “no”. Republicans had plenty of opportunity to extend ACA premium subsidies before they shut down the government. They can politely agree to extend the subsidies now & Senate Democrats would probably agree & vote to open, since it’s the most immediate health care need.

When The Dictator & his lackeys end the ACA subsidies, 20 MILLION PLUS Americans will see a massive hike in their heath care premiums. 5 million or so won’t be able to afford coverage at all.
Is it worth fighting to stop this?
YOU BET!!! GO DEMOCRATS!!!

Democrats & their Congressional leadership are doing such a horrible job that in the WaPo poll Republicans are being blamed for this shutdown by a 17-point margin.

The Dictator Trump is a pathological liar whose lies are legion.
But one of the biggest during his campaign was “I’ve never heard of Project 2025.”
You are living the implementation of that 900-page monstrosity & America may never recover unless you stop it—— NOW!!!

The “president” is not just unhinged & unwell. He is also a colossal vindictive asshole and a completely incompetent moron.

He has no fire, no pizzazz. When I watch him speak from a stage, it just looks like he’s trying to channel Obama, with the coolness and the sweeping his head one side to the other. He’s not Obama. I don’t know what he is. A nice guy I guess. We need someone at least a little inspiring. Raskin maybe.

Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era
Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Also: More court pushback.
Judge William Young ruled on Tuesday that Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem’s student deportation effort violates the First Amendment, but he also had important messages for Donald Trump, John Roberts — and all Americans.
At Law Dork, I explain.

Good. They need to do the same with the already appropriated green energy project money.

It’s a refrain, a strategic frame, and a call for action. Expect the rank and file right to start collecting “evidence” (producing content) to support the “health care for illegal aliens” frame.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.
Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.
What happened to the art of the deal?
