Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight. They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more. Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

Take off the masks‼️ We don’t have secret police in America‼️ Americans aren’t safe when it’s acceptable for people in masks, who don’t identify themselves, to drag them into cars and take them away‼️ If you’re too scared to show your face, you know what you’re doing is WRONG‼️

The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

Trump pardons top allies who aided bid to subvert the 2020 election Pardon recipients include Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman and dozens more.

Trump's pardon of allies who helped him try to subvert the 2020 election is important. It's a permission slip--no, it's an encouragement, even an order--to allies to be ready to try to subvert the elections in 2026, and 2028.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Hakeem Jeffries sends a message to the Senate: “I don't think that the House Democratic Caucus is prepared to support a promise, a wink & a prayer, from folks who have been devastating the health care of the American people for years.”

A whistleblower tells House Judiciary Democrats that convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell is in the process of seeking a commutation of her 20-year prison sentence from Donald Trump. tinyurl.com/582addcc

I was wondering this week whether the airlines were lobbying behind the scenes.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation?

Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date…

Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law.

Shaheen: There was never a guarantee that it would be become law.

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.

I will not support this bill that completely fails to help Americans afford their health care.

Trump and R’s have more than doubled Americans’ health care premiums, and for 40 days they have refused to lift a finger to do a thing about it. In fact, they’ve made it worse by taking food from kids.

That’s not small potatoes. “Operation Fox Hunt” wasn’t a movie plot; it was a real effort to silence dissidents abroad. Pardoning him sends a dangerous message that as long as you wear a badge and claim ignorance, you’re absolved.

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

Tell Chuck Schumer to grow a spine and hold the line…

There should be no deal that leaves working families behind.

No health care, no deal.

I agree…..

I'm interested to know what you think about this deal. Please respond below with your thoughts.

Did you know: Congressmen and women have been paid twice (they’re paid monthly) since the govt shut down. $30,000 gross each. Meanwhile Trump trying to stop food stamp payments while he has parties. And @SpeakerJohnson still has everyone on vacay

They are probably going to have to read it pretty loud.

#GVerse Another look - #Shit4Brains just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game. 🤣
Once is good, twice is hilarious! 🖕 #FuckTrump 🖕

Trump dining with billionaire Steve Wynn at Mar-a-Lago. Wynn was accused of pressuring workers to perform sex acts.

It’s a coup at some point when one party doesn’t want to work for the people to worship a king🤬

WELKER: Should the 300,000 Oklahomas who rely on ACA subsidies be prepared for their costs to skyrocket?

LANKFORD: We're trying to find a way to be able to help

(That's a yes!)

Reductions in Force not required by shutdowns, have never happened in any previous shutdown, and a judge has ruled they are illegal.
The shutdown is an excuse, not a reason, for them to do what they wanted to do: destroy government.
