Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

If youโ€™re a conservative whoโ€™s triggered by the new Ken Burns documentary on The American Revolution, youโ€™re a fragile punk-ass weakling. Go run home to your momma and cry on her knee. Donโ€™t bother the rest of us with your insecurity.

Do you know who is paying for Trumpโ€™s ballroom?

Amazon
Google
Apple
Meta

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.

So are these companies getting special favors in return? Iโ€™m pressing for answers.

Again, the only possible explanation is that MTG was recently visited overnight by three ghosts.

This is horrific.

@citizencohn.bsky.social talks to @agawande.bsky.social about the real consequences of Trump cutting USAID funding.

Rep. Massie is being polite, as he should be, and is trying to get more Republican votes for the discharge petition, as he should be doing.

But the truth is, I think, that Trump is trying to protect himself.

I still canโ€™t believe anyone supports this bloated, orange clown. ๐Ÿคก

He isnโ€™t smart, or savvy, or anything remotely resembling a leader. Heโ€™s just a sad, cruel, petty, vindictive man who embarrasses this country every single time he opens his mouth.

RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES!

Democrats Are So Angry, One Senator Faces Blowback From Her Daughter

Ds universally furious at 8 senators who helped broker the shutdown-ending deal without any concessions, as well as at partyโ€™s leadership over perception it failed to stop the deal. ...There are calls for political retribution and resignations.... WTF did they expect?

A while ago, I was at the grocery store, and picked up one of the 2lb packs of store brand hamburger, and looked at the price. I sort of whispered under my breath "Jesus Christ.." and the people on each side of me looked up at the same time and said "I KNOW."

Just solidarity in the grocery store.

What a bunch of bullshit โ€” voting to reopen the government based on a โ€˜promiseโ€™ to talk about the ACA at a later date? Unbelievable. Does anyone really think we can trust Republicans to operate in good faith? They donโ€™t care about us & you canโ€™t trust a word they say. Infuriating and embarrassing.

Tonightโ€™s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.

They don't need to be in these positions anymore.

They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.

Demand more and better, folks.

When I cannot afford the health insurance that i need to LIVE, I assure you that I will curse and blame every Senator who voted for this shit bill -- INCLUDING Democrats.

I am a lifelong Dem, so don't you DARE come for me. But if you just fucked me over and left me to die: Fuck YOU.

Everyone who voted for that shit bill to reopen the government, including every Democrat, just delivered the message to Trump that "yes, you are the king, and you control us."

Do not DARE come for me. When I cannot afford the healthcare to save my life, I will curse you with my dying breath.

10.11.2025 03:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 90    ๐Ÿ” 15    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 4    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

After everything, Senate Democrats still havenโ€™t figured out that surrendering to Trump Republicans will end badly? Unbelievable.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.

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 ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

I may just declare myself an independent who may vote with the Democrats but give my finger to the GOP every time. Not sure (about the Democrats, sure about GOP). But I am definitely pissed. The Democrats betrayed my trust and I won't forget it.
