Boston's Mayor Wu playing with Yo-Yo Ma at Symphony Hall

I think the thing that Mamdani has here that other Dems don't is that he owes no loyalty to the old guard. A lot of Trump's mortal enemies actively tried to stop Mamdani. With a big smile, he beat the Dems that Trump hates and made them sad on TV. That's all Trump cares about.

It genuinely might be one of the funniest press conferences of his entire Presidency, he's just absolutely DELIGHTED to be around Mamdani and his charisma

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

BREAKING: Senator Chuck Schumer asked for unanimous consent to pass the resolution to force the DOJ to release Epstein files the second it is sent over by the House. No one objected and it will now pass the Senate as soon as it arrives.

Gomez: "Is this an appropriate time to point that the Republicans named children's savings accounts in their one big beautiful bill after Donald Trump, someone connected to one of the most notorious pedophiles in this country, or that the speaker just lied on the floor!"

Lots of great non-Starbucks options for your coffee! Pay them a visit until the greedy Starbucks owners decide to treat their workers with dignity.

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Prescient

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

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

@schumer.senate.gov let people go weeks without paychecks, let families lose access to SNAP and vital programs, all for nothing. No concessions, no vision, no fight.

And now they’ll ask us to work tirelessly to flip Congress next year, but why should anyone trust they’ll do better?

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Dear Senate Dems,

Republicans don’t keep their promises…

Any statement from @abigailspanberger.com yet?

Hey @schumer.senate.gov

You suck at this.

Ro Khanna calls for Schumer‘ ouster

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.

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.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

At least Republicans learned a valuable lesson:

If they hold out long enough, Democrats will always cave.

He's apparently just as happy to be the 51st vote for the GOP too it looks like. Every time so far.

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

As Governor Gavin Newsom just said

PATHETIC
(regarding senate vote)

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

Don’t fold !! People know who is to blame for the shutdown. It will all be for nothing if you don’t get something. Kicking the can down the road is not getting something. Extending the aca subsidies is. Hold out for that.
