Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

As the Senate advances a plan to end the government shutdown, what happens now? As the shutdown continued, the pieces were in place for Democrats to stand firm in support of a popular cause. Eight Senate Democrats folded anyway.

OPINION by @stevebenen.com:

“GOP leaders, in the White House and on Capitol Hill, assumed that just enough Senate Democrats would cave under pressure. Those assumptions proved true.”

Democrats reveal whistleblower details of Ghislaine Maxwell prison ‘luxuries’ In a letter to the president, House Democrats say Maxwell’s treatment as she prepares a clemency request makes the convicted sex offender look like a “guest at a Trump hotel.”

“Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on ‘hand and foot’ by the staff at her minimum security prison camp while she prepares a request that President Donald Trump commute her sentence, according to whistleblower revelations made public on Monday by House Democrats.”

"If you’re a Republican official convicted of corruption, your odds of receiving clemency from Trump are roughly 100%...

"The latest move seems intended to deliver a political message: Those who assist Trump with his schemes need not worry about legal consequences..."

Ohio’s Planned Parenthood cuts are a master class in dismantling public health: Leila Atassi Ohio’s decision to cut Planned Parenthood from Medicaid isn’t about abortion—it’s a political choice that will predictably harm public health, driving up disease, maternal deaths and costs, while stripping essential care from those who can least afford to lose it.

COLUMN: "The pattern is as familiar as it is grim. When Planned Parenthood loses funding, clinics close, disease rates rise, unintended pregnancies increase, and costs to taxpayers climb."

A wide photo of a large shelf of cloud hiding a massive mountain, like a giant mushroom cap on it's top. Above is blue sky with very high thin clouds. Below the cap of cloud looks very turbulent and much less light, but dark streaks of rocky mountainside are seen radiating downslope, contrasting with white lanes of snow, also radiating downward. Below the bare snowy, and rocky slopes are vast tracks of dark forest, with snow peeking through the trees. The big cloud cap stretches all the way across the image. The mountain in hiding is Mount Shasta California, US. It's a large volcanic mountain that stands over 14,000 feet high.

Late submission for the #Stunday prompt today. I was out chasing around the Oregon Coast today.
More on that later!
This massive cloud cap couldn't hide all of #MountShasta, but the upper elevations over 10,000 feet were shrouded.

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I voted NO on this funding bill. The last thing American families need right now is skyrocketing health care premiums as they struggle to keep up with rising costs — but that’s exactly what they’re facing because of Trump and Republicans.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future.
Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!!

Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

50 years ago today, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior during a violent storm. From 1958-75, this Great Lakes freighter carried iron ore from Duluth to Detroit, Toledo, and other Great Lakes ports. Today, we remember and honor the life and legacy of the 29 souls lost.

People want results.

In their lives.

Only in DC does getting a promise that “we get to vote on something” get categorized as progress.

"They're going to have to explain themselves."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) speaks to the press after a group of Senate Democrats teamed up with Republicans to pass an agreement to reopen the government.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Trust me said the spider to the fly

Trump found yet another distasteful way to profit from the presidency Coast Guard members were given the opportunity to line the commander-in-chief's pockets directly by purchasing his branded alcohol.

OPINION by @hayesbrown.bsky.social:

“The gauzy patina of separation between the president’s day job and his side hustles has grown thinner over the course of this year.”

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

812,000 Arizonans don't have a representative right now because Republicans refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The GOP must stop playing games with our democracy.

Throughout my nearly 40-year career as a doctor, I’ve seen patient after patient struggle with the cost of healthcare.

As governor, I will fight to keep rural hospitals open, relive medical debt, expand access to affordable care, and stand up to any cuts to Medicaid coming from Washington.
