The Secret Podcast: @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social break down why Republicans are in full disarray, how Trump’s SNAP showdown is backfiring, and what new polling says about the road ahead.

No One Matters to Trump But Trump His self-serving treatment of last week’s elections shows his disregard for his party.

"Any other president might have had the grace to praise his party’s candidates or at least keep his mouth shut. Not Trump. He viewed the GOP’s debacle as an opportunity to promote himself." As ever, ungracious in defeat.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS:

“If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

There are cases like this happening every day. Trump is the most pro-criminal president in history - if you are wealthy and have connections. Spare us the “Law and Order” bs.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump needs to get off the golf course and get back to the negotiating table

Trump posts literal fake news about Obama from a satire site

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."
