In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

What is happening in the Senate tonight is a travesty and betrayal for every person who depends on ACA subsidies.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

@democrats.senate.gov the ACA subsidies are too important to cave now for empty Republican promises. DO NOT DO IT! 🀬✊🏼

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this β€œdeal.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump SCREWS His OWN DOJ as WHISTLEBLOWER REVEALS All
YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump SCREWS His OWN DOJ as WHISTLEBLOWER REVEALS All

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused.

My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust.

The Texas redistricting hearing started on Wednesday in El Paso. Democracy Docket is covering it every day like it is the most important case for free and for elections in the country -- because it is. Legacy media is no where to be found.

Resignation letter from ousted longtime federal prosecutor in Eastern District of Virginia

It issues a scathing rebuke of Justice Dept leadership:

"The leadership is more concerned with punishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security"

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

Garcia condemns DOJ's piecemeal release of the Epstein files, saying it "just continues this White House cover-up."

"Handpicked, partial productions are wholly insufficient and potentially misleading, especially after AG Bondi bragged about having the entirety of the Epstein files on her desk."
