Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

๐ŸšจA new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows that on the economy โ€” the issue that carried Trump back to the White House โ€” only 37% of Americans approve of his performance, compared to 62% who disapprove. This is in line with other recent polls.

This is a very serious problem for Republicans.

Hi Bradley, Iโ€™ve just had a notification from @listifications.app that Iโ€™m in your Sunday Funday Resistors pack but I havenโ€™t been able to find it other than by clicking the link.
I canโ€™t comment at the bottom using it so this is a big thank you!๐Ÿ’™

Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but thereโ€™s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.

โ€œThereโ€™s too many Americans on SNAP!โ€

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they donโ€™t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a countryโ€™s population, we have a very serious problem.

#TCMParty All The President's Men is airing and I am torn between loving every dry, irascible moment of Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, marvelling at the non-confirmation confirmations, and mourning the loss of a great newspaper in our present era.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Graph showing opposition to and favor for tariffs.

64% of Americans oppose tariffs.
34% of Americans approveโ€ฆand, they donโ€™t understand how tariffs work or what they are. Period.

Tariffs are a strategic trade tool when used correctly; but, theyโ€™re devastating when weaponized by a blithering fool.

Weโ€™re living the latter scenario.

Laws are for the little people For Trump's friends, everything; for his enemies, Pam Bondi.

Trump gave $25k to Pam Bondi and she refused to investigate him. Sheโ€™s now his AG, refusing to prosecute and proposing pardons for his donors.

Immigrants with no criminal records are rotting in foreign prisons, while rich criminals are offering bribes.

Thatโ€™s Trumpโ€™s version of โ€œlaw and order.โ€
