“Caved Too Soon”: Ro Khanna on Senate Shutdown Deal, Why Schumer Should Step Down & Epstein Files The longest U.S. federal government shutdown in history has entered its 43rd day. The House of Representatives is returning to session today to vote on a short-term funding bill to end the shutdown. T...

“The President was panicking. He realized that he had lost the election over this. We caved too soon.”

Why Democrats are undisciplined and Republicans are regimented The asymmetry explained

Chuck Schumer couldn’t hold his senators together at a time when their unity was essential. Yet Trump gets all Republicans to do his bidding.

Why are Democrats so undisciplined and Republicans so regimented?

Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-democrats-are-undisciplined-and

Whoa— it’s so off brand for the GOP to try and slip something in without consent.

Key amendments GOP voted NO on:

1. Use $40B from Argentina funds to extend ACA tax credits for 2 years
2. Remove $500K lawsuit perk for GOP senators whose phones were seized
3. Block $350M taxpayer-funded ballroom

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Sarah Kendzior speaks truth to power.If Bluesky can’t handle that, it’s not the open forum it claims to be. Silencing independent journalists is cowardly and dangerous to democracy.Censorship of critical voices isn’t a show of strength it’s a confession of fear. We need more accountability, not less

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Mike Johnson is clearly complicit in covering-up a global childhood sex trafficking ring which absolutely includes Donald Trump.

PROOF the election was stolen from Harris.
No wonder Trump told Republicans they didn't even have to vote because he was going to win anyway.
He knew the fix was in.
No wonder Ivanka Trump supplied the voting machines from China.
They were programmed to turn Harris votes into Trump votes.

YES!!!!!!

Newspaper Union in Pittsburgh just told Fetterman to get fucked.
👏 👏 👏
Glad to see some journalistic integrity.

Republican elected leaders want to be able to sue to get taxpayer money because they were investigated for communicating with Donald Trump when he was conspiring to overthrow our constitutional order before, on & after Jan. 6th. REMEMBER THIS!

Your employees showed up to work today after eight weeks of work from home. But that one file has been sitting on their desk in the US House of Representatives the whole time. The file marked Epstein.

It’s not a cult

Normal isn't coming back so get off your knees and fight back - what they have planned for us is far worse than anything they've already done.

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, pedophilia, homophobia, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

Imagine loving your job so much that you are willing to inflict significant and possibly permanent damage to our country like the GQP members of Congress who refuse to stand up to the 34x felon-psychopath for fear of losing his precious support.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

HER DAUGHTER IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS AND SHE STILL DID THIS?!

Yep. All BBC has to do is hire Jack Smith as a consultant. Then do DISCOVERY, and it will be clear that Trump INTENDED to send the mob to the Capitol to stop the transfer of power to Biden. Plus, just read his ENTIRE speech, not just pieces of it. Together, it is clear what his purpose was.

💀

Liberal elites who ostracize their pro-Trump relatives have clearly forgotten what Thanksgiving is all about, which is sharing your bountiful harvest with people who are different than you & who eventually plan to destroy you: ⬇️

We’re heading into dark times. This is how to be your own light in the Age of Trump Having studied authoritarian states for over a decade, I would never exaggerate the severity of the threat we now face. But an American kleptocracy is exactly where president-elect Trump and his backe...

‪“Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave — and it is often hard to be brave — be kind.”
