Folks, I BEG of you. Do not fall for Axios ragebait. This isn't even their normal full-time ragebait correspondent, Andrew Solender. It is Pool Boy and Mike Allen.

The single Dem quoted is Jeffries (and the entire article is inconsistent with months of what Jeffries has done).

This is a GOP story.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

Trump is speaking at the event in Miami (alongside Messi, Will Smith, Infantino, etc). Currently he is talking about “Scammy Newscum”, complaining about the gov shutdown and “left extremism”, claiming the ACA “is the greatest scam”.. this was received by a round of applause

Excellent job Rep Houlahan (D-PA), call them out to their faces every chance you get. Trump’s little Johnson (R-LA) gets mad when confronted and asked if he has reached out to the other side to end this Republican government shutdown. Love to see Democrats keeping up the fight🔥

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter"

Democratic leaders ask Trump for meeting to end shutdown

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
