My statement on the Senate proposal.

MAGA GOP laments hardships on Fed workers during the shutdown. This GOP said NOTHING when we were illegally fired and threatened. When tRump decided DEI was an attack on Christian Nationalists the Fed workforce received a threatening email requiring them to report any DEI actions or lose their jobs.

At this point the shutdown has done all the damage is could for the next week or so

I would like to see the Supreme Court be forced to make the SNAP payment decision so we can see if they are willing to starve 41 million Americans to appease tRump.

I believe that the man who ran for the Senate no longer exists. John Fetterman has been a different person since his stroke.

Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Has the Supreme Court finally realized that Project 2025 will destroy America?

It seems that they may be back to making decisions that actually conform to our real Constitution.

ICE pours large canister of pepper spray directly into family car, hitting 1-year-old baby.

"They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said Matt, who filmed this video.

"ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside, where their baby and 16-year-old sister sat."

The removal of the memorial is sadly true, but We The People will fight back.

Ummm no. We are not saying that, Zeldin.

We're saying that rightwingers need to learn to mind their own f*cking business.

What does gender identity have to do with the Mayor of NYC?
These MAGA GOP have really gone off the deep end.

I feel bad for these guys since they're apparently afraid of anything that isn't from a sermon at a Evangelical Mega Church.

Drawn 133 years ago, and the con hasn't changed one bit.

Once Scrutinized By The Government, Rick Scott Soon Will Govern For years, Florida's Gov.-elect Scott ran the biggest and brashest chain of hospitals in the land. But there was trouble, as government investigations ultimately revealed. After Scott left the chain...

Saturday the Senate was debating the budget. I laughed out loud when Sen Ron Johnson introduced Sen Rick Scott saying "he knows more about healthcare probably maybe than anyone in America. Certainly more than anyone in this body"
Rick Scott's company pled guilty to fraud

In this era of manufactured offenses it does appear that we need to rely on the youngest, (and least jaded), among us. This admin can manufacture a criminal offense for most adults, but they would be hard pressed to find a skeleton in a six-year-old's closet!

The children will be our saviors!!

Precisely this.

How much is tRump giving us?

When will Dems get to vote on the 'amazing' GOP Healthcare plan to replace the ACA? Republicans promised a replacement that never materialized even before the 2013 Government shutdown. We've been waiting almost a decade for tRump's version

Without another option there's no 'negotiating'

Karoline forgot to put on her 'I'm a martyr' necklace today.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law.

Senator Cassidy doesn't understands healthcare/insurance. He thinks an HSA replaces insurance but he's sorely mistaken. His argument that people with employer provided insurance already use an HSA is laughable. Employers cover 70%-90% of premiums. Dems want all Americans to get that same benefit.

I like when you know they saw the post on twitter

@repmcgovern.bsky.social: “Trump is doing this because he is a bad person. He’s a lousy president and an even worse human being. He’s weaponizing hunger and trying to rip food away from more than 40M Americans including 16M children for sadisitic political leverage”

🚨 BREAKING: In response to ICE’s refusal to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo XIV is calling out the Trump–Vance administration.

He’s demanding that they respect the dignity and religious liberty of migrants in U.S. custody. ✊💙

It’s been 48 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected, and Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
This is a disgrace to democracy.

The Federal. Government should have to pay to remove and re-pour that slab because if you don't work cement properly immediately it doesn't cure right and has to be redone.

#TheCrueltyIsThePoint

A shout out to people in OR and IL being abused by tRump's thugs. We're so proud of your restraint. Keep it up. Don't let ICE/CBP provoke violence. Every video that shows these goons being aggressors lowers support for tRump's cronies. We'll win the war because we're on the right side of history.

Abbott did this in 2022 to exacerbate the US inflation that was caused by the Covid supply chain interruptions and the rise in energy prices due to Russia invading Ukraine. Abbott is constantly messing with our livelihoods with impunity.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.
