Years ago, people cut articles out of newspapers and kept them in a scrapbook, to be able to document the events of the day. This is my electronic scrapbook. I don't read responses to what I save. I don't chat. All this is, is a scrapbook.

A few are calling on Chuck Schumer to resign.

Another quick comment on the Democrats and the Shutdown...🫣

-Oct 18, more than 7 million Americans stand up and stand together.

-Nov 4, millions of Dems turn out for landslide wins in VA, NJ, NY, CA, GA, many other places.

-Nov 9, eight "Dems" say "Oh, this nice Mike Johnson and Mr. Trump say they care about health. If they don't, well shame on them..."

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

It's a pity that there was no way predict that Thanksgiving was coming. But sometimes it's these kind of unforeseeable contingencies that matter for politics.

I honestly can’t wait until traitor trash Chuck Schumer is cast out of the Democratic Party once and for all. He cowers to the powerful and we the people are the ones who suffer for it. He continues to be a disgrace.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

BREAKING

The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.

The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

This "deal" is SO much worse than people understand because now Republicans know that Dems will cave, even when they have a Royal Flush in their hand.

Rs will use shutdowns to get everything they want. And give up nothing in return.

Well done, #SelloutCaucus.

Notice how quickly people cave when their own travel plans are interrupted. Yes be annoyed, yes be disappointed, yes be angry AF this was all for nothing…
but also take note of what actually moves lawmakers to β€œdo something.” Make it hurt personally, get results it seems.

The INHUMANITY in Project 2025 (that Trump DENIED, lying of course, knowing nothing about) is just SO GOP; that is their trademark.

With all this BS happening about health insurance....

What if NONE OF US gave any of the health insurance companies a penny next year.

None of us renew our plans.

No one.

What would they do? They would have no revenue. They would need to shut down.

Medicare for All time!

Relatedly, in case you missed it: My colleague @rparloff.bsky.social wrote an excellent play-by-play of last Wednesday’s hearing in the Comey case.

You won’t find coverage this detailed in any other media outlet.

The Heritage Foundation goes from MAGA to MEGA β€” Make Europe Great Again On the agenda: pro-natalism, freedom of expression, opposing trans rights and fighting Chinese influence.

The Heritage Foundation, the intellectual engine behind the 922-page blueprint that has become the key policy manual for Donald Trump’s second term, is partnering with a constellation of European nationalist far-right movements to export its playbook.

have heard from nearly 40 DEMS in last hour, all ALL of them enraged by capitulation--schumer's betrayal of Party & Country.

half of these lifelong Democrats said they were changing their registration to Independent this week

the outrage will not be quelled

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Donald Trump booed heavily at Washington Commanders game Video showed the President getting a chilly reception during the game.

As Joe Biden would say,

Shut-Up Man 😐

Trump booed heavily at Washington Commanders game

β€œHoly (expletive) this is brutal,” Dean Withers wrote on X. β€œI’ve never seen him get booed this much. Americans are turning against Trump, and they’re letting him know.”

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The administration manufactured an air travel crisis to make life painful for American who have travel plans for work or pleasure.

Which would seem terrible if they weren’t already forcing Americans to go hungry or choose between healthcare or bankruptcy.
