Pelosi would not have let this happen. Harry Reid would not have let this happen. Any effective Democratic leader would not have let this happen.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

Why does chuck schumer still have a job?

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told. This is the package: - CR thru Jan 30 - A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill - Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Yeah but, Sleepy Joe Biden....."

It doesn't make sense. Congressman Warlock does.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

This is how a real President is supposed to act

You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry.

Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

CBS = Complete Bull Shit

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

Keystone Kash needed a distraction from the story that he took another private govt jet to watch his girlfriend sing. apnews.com/article/detr...

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

Mike Johnson describes Trump’s mental decline and unhinged behavior.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.

Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.

They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

I’m curious how the Supreme Court Justices feel watching the East Wing get torn to rumble this week. They unleashed a tyrant and I’m not even sure they knew how bad it would be.

Opulence and oppression often go hand in hand... #southern #country #YHFTL

This made me laugh. They’re so stupid. Hearing the stupid catalogued like this just makes it so stark.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

My favorite sign today said “our healthcare has been deported to Argentina.”
