Trying to escape accountability for something you did wrong by pointing towards something someone else may have done wrong is something most of us grew out of in elementary school.

I think most judges know that the courts are useless under a dictatorship and will do whatever they can to prevent that from happening.

If he somehow cancelled the next election, the entire House and a third of the Senate would be termed out of office the following January. He'd have zero congressional support for this. It may be the one thing that Republicans consider an impeachable offense.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

The regime reeks of desperation right now, y'all. This is like how your abusive ex was his most controlling and dangerous right before you broke free of him. These are scary times bc they are desperate to scare us. They see the American people rising in opposition and they're panicking.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% have about $4 trillion.

I guess he found a way to make it worthy of his time.

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

"Our racism is hilarious. Get over it."

Further proof that the loudest person in the room is the weakest person in the room.

That Schumer thinks Republicans still have any "good faith" is further proof that he is not the person to meet this moment as a leader of the Democratic party.

Republicans shut down the government in 2013 because they didn't want people to be able to get healthcare. That didn't work, so now they're shutting it down now because they want to make that healthcare unaffordable.

I don't know if people -- in general -- know what "authoritarianism" is.

I don't know if they really know what "fascism" is.

But I think they're far clearer on what a dictator is.
Choice of words is very important right now.

I'm hoping that the generals in that room are well aware that "I was just following orders" is not a valid defense.

Is he saying we're responsible for saving healthcare? I thought we elected people to do that.

And they spend all their time watching Fox "news" and are fed a stream of comforting lies about how incredibly popular all their actions are.

Never thought I'd see the day where an American president tells the military to turn around and point their guns inward, towards the American people.

The best part is how he keeps pausing after what he thinks are amazing applause lines and is met with total silence.

This has been their stated plan for 45+ years. Run up the debt while in charge and force Democrats to address the debt when they're not.

Imagine being forced to fly across the world so an arrogant cable "news" host can tell you that you're fat.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

This is the ONLY power Democrats have in DC right now. If they don't use it, we're in trouble.

Its insane that American politics now more or less revolves around infrequently passing a single comically large overstuffed money bill instead of like... normal legislation

Democrats are still trying to play nice with a party that is intent on grinding their faces into the dirt.

Imagine working your way up to becoming Speaker of the House and learning that your only job is to say whatever the president tells you to say.

"We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical-left lunatics. And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the National Guard. Or, if really necessary, by the military.” ~ Trump, 10/13/24

He also doesn't like to pardon people that don't serve him any future purpose. He had no interest in pardoning the 1/6 people until he thought he could maybe use them during his second term.

Maybe, but they'd likely also be facing state charges for any such crimes.
