Trump to FAA workers: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” The irony is, most are retiring, so good luck finding replacements.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

👀 Speaker Johnson what say you ?

“.. As the raids have continued, consumers have started to question whether the company’s silence makes it an accomplice to the sweeps rather than merely the backdrop. .. A backlash is coming for the company.”

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Even after the government shutdown ends, U.S. flight cancellations are expected to drag on The Senate took a first step toward ending the shutdown Sunday, but final passage could still be several days away.

Air travelers should expect worsening cancellations and delays this week even if the government shutdown ends, as the Federal Aviation Administration moves ahead with deeper cuts to flights at 40 of the busiest U.S. airports, officials said Monday.

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: It's a bad deal. Everyday life - making it better and more affordable - must always be our bottom line. For months, I’ve been hearing from people bracing for their health insurance bills to skyrocket - so much that some will lose coverage altogether. Some say they simply haven't even opened their letter yet, dreading the bad news. Any deal that fails to address this directly is a bad deal.

Because the cruelty is the point and it was never about deporting criminals, it was about deporting non-white immigrants. And maybe some non-white citizens but they haven’t figured out a way to do that yet that isn’t completely illegal (spoiler alert: because there isn’t one). 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Time to swear in Adelita Grijalva, let her cast the final vote to release the Epstein files!

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.

💯. It wasn't about just the ACA subsides—it was about those and … everything else.

Over 8,500 Flights Disrupted Sunday As Government Shutdown Snarls Air Travel Hundreds of flights out of major airports were delayed Sunday, including in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

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.

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.

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.

We want this #shutdown to end as much as anyone, but giving in to promises of a future vote on ACA subsidies is weak sauce. The House pen won’t even allow it and we can do this shutdown dance again in January. 😩

Senators, don’t make all this pain for nothing. Be bold. HOLD. THE. LINE.

More here:

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Shut us down for good reason.

Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed.

You want us to have confidence in you?

You want us to think YOU can lead US?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

Last night we vented a lot about them caving, but here’s hoping there’s at least something positive to come from it.

Supreme Court ruled that a duly elected member cannot be denied their seat, meaning a judge could step in to administer the oath or order the House to allow it. In other words, once the government reopens, Johnson will no longer be able to act as the gatekeeper.

Once the government reopens, precedent has already been set, if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizona’s 7th District, someone else will. In Powell v. McCormack (1969), the
