The most dangerous people you can be spending time around at this point, are those who say, "I'll never quit fighting," but then, the moment something "bad" happens...instantly step into, "OMG. We're f*cked. It's all over." These people are like poison to your mind and emotions. Stay away.

I assume Schumer knows this is the end of his political career?

I'm going to make so many calls this week I hope my phone burns its circuits out because it got so hot. Consider doing the same. Have a sensible "script" written out...so you make sense, but do it while you're pissed off. It feels better, and the person taking your message WILL feel your intensity.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Trump has been copiously booed by the crowd at todayโ€™s game. Make him feel unwelcome everywhere.

They betrayed us for not getting ACA subsidies!!! They trust these GOP pirates more than those of us out here fighting for working families.

Itโ€™s time to primary those on this list not retiring, especially Fetterman.

Never forget who sold us out:

The only way I would ever support a short term funding bill is if Adelita Grijalva is immediately sworn in first thing tomorrow morning, SNAP is fully funded, federal workers get back pay, and a vote is passed to release the Epstein files before January. Otherwiseโ€ฆNo.

Java Joey spewing pablum again.

He thinks heโ€™s the smartest guy in the room, as always. Perhaps he should debate @governor.ca.gov on air?

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.

Tonightโ€™s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

I recall the orange convicted felon once saying people would stand in long lines begging for food if Kamala Harris became President.

Now in 2025 people are seen in Cleveland and other cities standing in long lines for food due to his cruelty.

Endless projection. I hate him.

WELKER: Should the 300,000 Oklahomas who rely on ACA subsidies be prepared for their costs to skyrocket?

What Comes Next After the 2025 Elections Read more here.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous โ€” and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.

Hereโ€™s what we all need to prepare for.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.
