See those 8 empty seats? That’s where Republicans should have been sitting.

But they didn’t even have the decency to debate us while taking healthcare away from millions of people after they shoveled tax break after tax break to billionaires.

Lazy, heartless & cruel.

Let me emphasize the importance of high-quality journalism that distinguish information from commentary —accountable and prepared to defend its reporting in court if necessary.

Only this standard can restore confidence in professionally trained media.

The U.S. imposed tariffs intended to substantially reduce the competitiveness of foreign firms relative to their domestic manufacturers.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are trying to amend the Senate’s funding bill to protect Americans’ healthcare and take out the poison pills.

@houserepublicans.bsky.social can’t even bother to show up to debate it.

Supreme Court Extends Pause Ordering Trump Administration To Pay SNAP Benefits The ruling means Americans on food stamps likely will not see benefits until the government funding bill is approved by the House and President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign the measure this week.

If I could vote against the raw deal twice, I would.

A “deal” that requires Republicans to concede nothing and Democrats to concede everything is not a deal. It is an unconditional surrender.

That is not a negotiation. It’s a complete capitulation.

After mistaken deportation, US asks judge to let it send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia U.S. government attorneys say they have cleared all the hurdles needed to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia.

Abrego Garcia should sue the US government for taking retaliatory action and violating his due process protections. He represents all of us - regardless of citizen or non-citizen status - no one deserves this sort of ongoing selective and vindictive prosecution.

Robert Reich What Democrats SHOULD Be Doing

Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the steps I lay out in this video.

And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.

#BREAKING: Over a public dissent from Justice Jackson, #SCOTUS *extends* the temporary pause of the district court’s order that had mandated full SNAP payments for November—keeping that ruling (and those payments) on hold through the end of the day this Thursday:

The agreement between Senate Republicans and a few Democratic defectors is a raw deal for 24 million American families who are about to see their health care premiums more than double.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Got a copy of this just to bring home for Thanksgiving and wield influence in political arguments.

🚨BREAKING: At long last, Mike Johnson will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4 pm ET.

Welp!

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

"Pro-democracy Americans should use 2026 to primary any Democrat from the Don’t Fight caucus and demand new Congressional leadership ahead of the bigger fight in 2028, when there’s a risk the Trump regime has consolidated enough authoritarian power that elections are not free and fair."

House Minority Leader Jeffries: I will oppose Stopgap bill without ACA subsidies - CNN Interview

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.

And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.

The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.

The agreement between Senate Republicans and a few Democratic defectors represents a raw deal, one that dooms working families to a massive health care premium shock.

Unconditional surrender to Donald Trump is not only bad policy—it’s bad politics.

Supreme Court to decide whether states can count ballots that arrive after Election Day About 30 states authorize counting mail-in ballots after Election Day.

The GOP is using legal shenanigans to go after mail-in voting again.

Let's make one thing clear: refusing to count ballots postmarked by Election Day is an attempt to silence voters whose mail is delayed—most egregiously the brave service members casting votes from overseas.

The 2026 Summit: America 250 - Principles First Restoring principled conservatism in America.

From hosting On the Contrary to his sharp political analysis on MSNBC, @sykescharlie.bsky.social has been one of the most consistent voices defending truth and democracy. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to the Summit stage.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.
