Trump-Appointed Federal Judges Could Lock In GOP House Advantage Read more here.

EXCLUSIVE: As the 2026 midterms near, the battle over GOP gerrymandering is moving from state legislatures to federal courts. Notably, 48% of judges overseeing these redistricting cases, which could shape control of the House, happen to be Trump appointees.

Dems are too scared to ruin air travel via the holidays (corporate interest pacs). Dems agreed to a 2 month CR which then gives them some leverage again in 2 months (yes, which they may squander) if they don’t get the ACA subsidies. I would’ve rather them hold out but … centrists 🤑🤮

That $21 trillion must still be in the mail. 🤡

Yup. My preference would’ve been holdout for what they said they wanted: ACA subsidies. Democratic members are rarely willing to scrap. The establishment dems have lost me.

I believe this is a roughly 49 day cr though. It’s only through January 30th, 2026.

As someone angry at a lack of fighting democratic senators, this is a valid point.

Respectfully, it’s not “centrists vs progressives.” That’s the old way of thinking. It’s “institutionalists/establishment” vs “populists/fighters.”

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

This right here.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

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.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

This is BRUTAL.

Trump LOUDLY BOOED at the Commanders game.

America lets him know exactly how they feel — to his face.

Tuesday night was a total repudiation of Trumpism. Democrats are showing what a real big-tent party looks like: Spanberger to Mamdani. That’s how you build a majority.

True … you tell me …. seems like a corrupt GOP manoeuvre

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Man just sorting Alex Thompson's stories, its so clear how much of a right wing hack he is. Just consistent fanning of flames around democrats. Zero reporting on the GOP.
