Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

CBS News Poll: Americans say vaccines should be made more available, but many say RFK Jr. making them less Large majorities say COVID vaccines should be more available to those who want them, but many say Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s policies are making vaccines less available.

So, 96% of Americans want the government to continue making vaccines available. Why are Trump and RFK Jr. , with no evidence or public support, making them less available? www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but I refuse to be silent. I’m canceling Hulu (owned by Disney, who also owns ABC) until ABC reinstates Jimmy Kimmel. #BoycottDisneyABC

Wasn’t Trump found liable for mortgage fraud? Seems like lying to lenders about the square footage of your apartment to get lower interest rates constitutes mortgage fraud.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.
