We're officially live. It's incredibly important to have a real record of how our public servants are behaving and this database will be a powerful tool for researchers, reporters, and ordinary Americans.

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The β€œunwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a β€œdrubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates - scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person the world."

Truly it was out of curiosity: why a person with unlimited resources exhibits so little appreciation or even awareness of the things that most people value as giving meaning to life. Just minimally well to do people donate to charities, local museums & libraries & the like; they support the commonweal. & unlike the very wealthy these people pay high income taxes.

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think β€œI’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Emily Wilkins post on X:

"Kaine said while only 8 D's voted with R's, more wanted to see the shutdown end.

" I can tell you this, there were a lot more than 8 that were really happy that the 8 of us voted them the way we did."

"But I'm not going to put words in anybody's mouth.""

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.

If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

You can’t be online or watch TV for 5 minutes without a sports betting ad and AI is telling teenagers to commit suicide but weed gummies are amongst the greatest threats to the American way of life apparently

Senate Dems are out here posting noise like "omg the Senate GOP just voted against healthcare subsidies and are trying to sneak a bunch of terrible shit into the funding bill" β€” and people are flooding their mentions with "bitch, please, GTFOH"

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

It's Ms not Mister. Seeing how I'm already suffering, I'd at least want something out of it that would improve the status quo. It didn't.

this kind of seems like proof that donors and senators whining about their Thanksgiving travel was, actually, the motivation behind everything

"Zeteo reached out to dozens of Democratic offices on Monday to gauge whether Democratic senators have confidence that Schumer is the right person to lead their caucus. None had anything to say."
