Thank you, Senators. This is why youโ€™ll continue to have the support of the people.

You ask why the media runs with headlines repeating tRump's ludicrous statements. Gee I haven't a clue.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

No way. Bessent is โ€œWe, we, we have a plan, Iโ€™m a farmer, you donโ€™t understandโ€.

Nutlick is โ€œeverything is about to go boom! Trump is the best!โ€™

Hassett is โ€œI just want to say itโ€™s all fantastic, please believe meโ€

Kegsbreath would just say โ€œBomb SCOTUS warrior ethos!โ€

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

I sure would like to have a president who represents us, and not one who bosses us and wants to rule us.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

It most definitely was a mistake. They all know it. We just sacrificed the entire shutdown & gave them a historic win during elections, & they used us.

40+ days of free campaigning, letting us think they were really fighting 4 ACA.

We asked 4 ONE THING. Give those people health care

They failed

That's how the caucus decided, collectively, who would take the hit. Vulnerable senators up soon, esp those in tight races, were allowed to vote no and stay on their base's good side by acting outraged. Behind closed doors, most D senators favored this (๐Ÿ˜ก), or it wouldn't have happened.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.
