WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate passes bill to end the now-41-day government shutdown, sending it to the House for a final vote this week.

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

So, we're fucked.

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

Madi Diaz Releases Enema Of The State Covers Album Benefitting Immigration Legal Aid - Stereogum Enema Of The State was a crucial album to a lot of us growing up, and Madi Diaz is no exception.

No shit…

The President pardoned members of his private militia after they failed to overturn an election; they, in turn, pledge their support to him and urge him to use them to police civil society.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially "docked." For those Air Traffic Controllers who who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn't take ANY TIME OFF for the "Democrat Shutdown Hoax," I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, 1 am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn't step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last "Administration" wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated "junk." They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I won't be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

In a new post, President Trump makes various threats and promises to air traffic controllers who have very, very difficult jobs and hold the safety of air travel in their hands.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

"Too pathetically craven for the New York Times op-ed page to swallow" is a sign from God to reconsider all your choices up to this point.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Phew. Almost thought good things could happen for a second there.

Agree.

Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."

This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???

BREAKING: Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has said: "Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced"

Well those couple of days feeling hope were pleasant.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Guaranteeing a vote on extending the tax credits is not guaranteeing the tax credits.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Did Tuesday night even happen?

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This right here.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!

That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

A still from The Simpsons featuring characters at a Democratic Convention. Banners say "We hate life and ourselves" and "We can't govern!"

Never fails to be relevant.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.
