Breaking: Mike Johnson just announced that he'll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades.

In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?”

They were skeptical.

this needs to known far and wide

Also, think about which Dems are voting to end cloture. They are the ones with nothing to lose. This whole thing could be gaining Dems a strategic advantage.

I'm changing my mind about the wisdom of this vote after reading David Cooper's essay here:

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

It’s never a fair fight when you’re forced to legislate with evil, soulless bastards.

‘Thrown Into the Air’: NYPD Cops Swerved Into Black Man on Scooter, Then Tried to Blame Him with a Bizarre Lie Until the Video Dropped, Lawsuit Claims "Shocking video reveals NYPD cops' deceitful act as they swerve into Black man on scooter. Lawsuit exposes disturbing truth. #PoliceBruta...

“thrown into the air”

NYPD cops swerved *into* a Black man on a scooter, and then tried to blame him… until the video dropped

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House?

GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DAY 39 SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER D-New York • Minority Leader

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

Trump is threatening the basic needs of poor Americans. How low he has sunk | Robert Reich The president has put Snap benefits in jeopardy amid a fight over Medicaid. The nation has lost its moral authority

It is the responsibility of all of us to return the nation to a path that is morally sustainable.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Actually, if you're an American, you have a right to believe as you choose.

The Trump admin is making the planes run on time in the same way that Mussolini made the trains run on time—by not actually doing it, but by pressuring everyone to just say that’s what’s happening.

It’s a helluva “flex” to lie about Thanksgiving dinner being cheaper when you’re literally letting 42 million people starve.

Over a dozen dead head of cattle piled up in a grass field.

Oil regulators claim Oklahoma's wastewater incidents are under control.

But our reporting with @readfrontier.bsky.social shows the state is still dealing with dozens of instances of toxic waste spewing out of the ground, one of which killed about two dozen cows in Sept.

The best way to think about SNAP is as a big corporate subsidy.

Kansas Republicans drop push to enter nation's widening redistricting battle Top Kansas Republicans have given up for now on forcing a special session of the Legislature to redraw the state’s U.S.

apnews.com/article/redi...

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas’ Republican House leader on Tuesday dropped efforts to force a redraw of U.S. House districts that would have thrust the state into a widening national battle for partisan advantage in the 2026 elections.

We have run out of ways to describe their gaslighting and projection

There is not one face of the Democratic Party. Tonight proved there are many faces, but each with a commitment to fight back against the reckless failure of the Trump regime and actually serve people.

Thank goodness.
