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.

The vote is live now. Get on their socials and let them know now to cave. No one on the phones on Sunday during shutdown

The only Dem senators voting to cave on the shutdown fight are either retiring or not up for reelection this cycle.

Might be Dems' most beautifully synchronized cave yet

Zohran Mamdani drags the Democratic Party into the future This was a local race with national implications, whether the party's leaders liked it or not.

"This was a local race with national implications. I know that because national Democrats couldn’t stop offering unsolicited advice about what to do about Mamdani."

Zohran Mamdani, a New York State Assembly member and Democratic Socialist, has won the New York City mayoral election, per Decision Desk HQ.

Mamdani is expected to win decisively, and Decision Desk called the race just three minutes after the polls closed.

Those who remember Dick Cheney as better than Trump are forgetting all of the people he killed in other countries…and the many ways in which the Bush regime paved the way for this one.

Tell SF Supervisors Not to Gut Surveillance Ordinance A proposal to eliminate the attorney fee provision would gut public enforcement and leave the government to police itself.

San Francisco’s surveillance oversight is on the line.

Removing attorney fee protections means the city polices itself and history shows that doesn’t work.

The viral videos show horrifying events, but do not capture the fact that they were EVERYWHERE and took people from at least 3 separate neighborhoods. This was not a one street, one incident event. It was a military style siege stretching from Calvary cemetery to Skokie.

Between this and tech oligarchs stepping in to talk Trump down from deploying troops to San Francisco it's very telling who has power as the government is shut down.
