The Democrats who gave in may have acted out of genuine concern for the suffering caused by the shutdown, but this is a textbook example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. By appeasing a political monster,

I would take their narco-trafficking BS seriously if Trump hadn't pardoned the guy who ran the largest dark web drug market

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are.

When you have all the momentum and the public behind you, surrender. Way to go.

Bessent: The $2,000 divided could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases

Translation: You’re never getting those $2,000 checks.

She is a coward and a liar. @shaheen.senate.gov thinks voters are stupid...but we are not stupid. We have seen this game before and Dems lose every time.

These Democrats are co-conspirators with Trump and the GOP to deprive millions of Americans affordable access to healthcare.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.

What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.

We're paying for the torture of children.

I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

On tonight's Sunday story, a saga of ACA insurance premium subsidies...

The story goes a little like this:

1. Subsidies end.
2. Insurance premiums go up.
3. You can't afford insurance.
4. You get sick.
5. You end up in the emergency room because you have no other option... 1/🧵

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

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.
