Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit.

Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

We must stand up to bullies!

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Yay! Thank you, @democracydocket.com and thank you, @markelias.bsky.social

Wonderful! Lovely, lovely video.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Sen. Schiff, please do not back down on the shut down. Please encourage House Democrats to not to use all their hard won leverage (even if only psychological leverage) over House Republicans to extend Obamacare and bring those premiums down. Thank you.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

If you are in line before the polls close, stay in line.

It is your right to vote. If you have any trouble casting your ballot, call our Voter Assistance Hotline: 877-321-8683. #yeson50

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Hysterical

What the heck is he talking about?

@sifill.bsky.social Can't SCOTUS eliminate immunity clause for the president?

Their website looks like propaganda.

This man is utterly disgusting. This is who shepherded Trump’s judicial nominees through confirmation. That should tell you A LOT.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "President Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact that the government is closed because he thinks he can exercise king-like powers."

Democrats should challenge the speaker's position. Orchestrate a vote of no confidence. Also, the 25th Amendment on taco is an option by smart republicans.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

So no terrorism then?

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
