I salute moderate Democrats who bravely caved in government shutdown fight | Opinion I had just finished wiring money to a Nigerian prince when I heard centrist Democrats in the U.S. Senate caved to the GOP on the government shutdown.

"The Democratic Party is fresh off a wildly successful election. For centrist Democrats like myself, it spelled a perfect time for unconditional surrender!" @rexhuppke.bsky.social satirizes the shutdown "deal" and the quaint negotiating customs of moderate Dems. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.

Also the fact that he has no fiction on his reading list speaks volumes. People who read nonfiction exclusively are like the people who only listen to podcasts instead of music

MAGA went down in flames in every state where there was an election last week in an overwhelming rebuke of the party in power, and 8 Senate Dems still caved to them despite getting nothing in return. Absolutely zero political awareness

That's what I was thinking, even if they change one sentence in the CR the house has to gavel back into session to pass it. Meaning Adelita has to be sworn in, meaning she signs the discharge petition, meaning every republican now has to go on record on the Epstein files ahead of the midterms

My inner social democrat enjoyed Mamdani quoting Eugene Debs last night. I recall my even-more-suppressed inner social democrat being pleased in 1990 when Debs was inducted during the first Bush administration into the Labor Department's Hall of Honor.

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.
