They love to cite John Lewis & piously say “cause good trouble” but they have no idea what it means. Once Johnson gets into his office, get a delegation of Democrats & stage a sit-in in Johnson’s office. Bring a Bible & the newly elected AZ congressperson. Get her sworn in. Chant about the shutdown.

TUR: Have you met with Mike Johnson?

JEFFRIES: No

Republicans are kicking children, veterans, and seniors off of their health insurance — to give tax cuts to billionaires.

It is perversely fascinating how utterly fragile the American democracy has turned out to be. Checks and balances? Bill of rights? Nonsense. The Constitution is made of tissue paper.

The third largest company in the world capitulating without a fight in a move that assists the most brutal part of the Trump regime. I hope employees rise up over this.

Mike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."

Watched “Tall Story”, a very mediocre 1960 movie starring Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda. Started to look up some background and came across a weird factoid: Anthony Perkins went to Rollins College where he acted in a play with — Fred Rogers. That Fred Rogers.

This Hegseth “all hands on deck” meeting of admirals and generals has a “Seven Days in May” vibe where they will be required to take a new oath - not to the Constitution- but to Trump.

“Trump seeks to cripple the public health system. We asked for a meeting. A strongly-worded letter is next. That will show him.”

Trump Always Chickens Out.

Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer.

The extremists want to shut down the government because they are unwilling to address the Republican healthcare crisis that is devastating America.

Hold the line.
