Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Mike Johnson says it's "futile" to bring House back during shutdown The speaker signaled he's willing to blow through the November deadline.

Mike Johnson just said there’s “no point” in bringing the House back to work during the shutdown.

That’s not leadership—it’s surrender.

Compared to Johnson, Kevin McCarthy looks like Profiles in Courage.

Americans deserve leaders who show up, not ones who give up.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Appeals court will reconsider whether Trump can send troops to Portland A three-judge appeals court panel had ruled in Trump’s favor on deploying National Guard forces. Now a larger panel will reconsider the case.

A federal appeals court said it would take a second look at whether President Trump can send National Guard troops to Portland, tossing out a ruling from a three-judge panel that had authorized the deployment.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Regular Americans Are About to Take It On The Chin But Congress isn’t moved.

"The story of Trump’s authoritarian takeover is primarily a story of what Trump and his executive branch apparatchiks have done. But it wouldn’t be happening without an extraordinary degree of complicity, collaboration, and cowardice of congressional Republicans."

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

Thanks John Roberts!

The lede here is what you would see in the first scene of a movie about a serial killer.

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

Trump’s Mar-a-White House The president is desecrating a symbol of liberal democracy and replacing it with a tacky, bloated eyesore.

"No, destroying the White House is not as bad as blowing up boats carrying possibly innocent people. It’s not as bad as corrupting the Justice Department. It’s not as menacing as sending troops into American cities. And yet, this hurt is sharp."

Trump orders lying ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos released from prison: ‘Have a great life!’ The lying Long Island pol defrauded donors to his 2022 campaign and used the names of dozens of others — including family and friends — to also falsely inflate his number of contributor…

Trump has commuted the sentence of lying fraudster Fmr. Rep. George Santos (R-NY). This is a man who stole from the homeless to buy himself Prada.

There is no bottom.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @Acyn , Acyn, posted 3 hours ago, stating, "Question: Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th? Pelosi: Turns Around Shut up. I did not refuse the National Guard. The President didn’t send it! Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you are a serious journalist?" The post includes a video still from Lindell TV showing a confrontation: a woman in a green jacket (Pelosi) speaking into a microphone held by a man in a blue suit, with another man in a suit and a background of parked cars and a government building.

Nancy Pelosi is sick of their bullshit.

Shorter Mike Johnson:

Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

LOL
you KNOW he was !
