On Day 8 of the Republican shutdown I want to be clear: Democrats are still here. We are still at the table. And we are still ready to work together on a deal to reopen the government and address this health care crisis.

Think of the 79 year olds in your life. How would you feel? I am shaking.

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.

I condemn Charlie Kirk’s murder. Political violence has no place in the U.S. It is sickening. I extend condolences to Charlie Kirk’s family as they grieve this tragic loss.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Canadians have HEART!
So much heart:
Before Wednesday night's game in Toronto between their Blue Jays vs our Minnesota Twins, the whole stadium, (42,000+), observed a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Church and School in south Minneapolis.
Thank you Canada!

We only rate dogs. This is a southern sleepy seal pup. Please read her a short but comforting bedtime story, and only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (credit Brie the Chi)
a long, light brown creature rests on her back. her eyes are drooping closed, her tongue sticks out a teeny bit, and she has no visible ears. her front paws (flippers?) are tucked up close to her body like a t-rex’s arms. the long noodle body has no other appendages within frame. (it's a chihuahua, or so we're told, but we would also have bought "potato" or "sea otter.")

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

“We cannot claim to be the party of law and order while turning a blind eye to financial crimes committed under the banner of Republican leadership,” Kremer said.

Correct but that list of crimes needs to be much longer: Epstein, Jan 6, lying to congress, defying judges….

Drumroll, please... The first new Amtrak Cascades train is leaving the Siemens manufacturing facility in Sacramento today and heading to Pueblo, CO for testing! Following a year-long testing journey, they’ll arrive home to the PNW in 2026—stay tuned for more photos! #trains #PNW
A newly manufactured Amtrak Cascades locomotive waits to leave the factory in California. The frame around the windshield is gold. The nose is evergreen to represent the PNW trees and most of the locomotive is cream, the white color representing the cream in your coffee. The updated Amtrak Cascades logo is large inside the cream portion. Blue sky and thin white clouds create the backdrop. A new Amtrak Cascades Business Train Car waits to leave the manufacturing facility for testing. Cascade mountains are featured on both ends of the car. BUSINESS is printed on the top middle portion of the evergreen background. The mocha color frames the plentiful windows and there's a stripe of cream color below the windows. The Business Car sports a gold door which matches the mountains in the Amtrak Cascades logo. The door is open and the steps are down, waiting for you to hop onboard! Interior photo of a new Amtrak Cascades Business Car showing two seats on one side of the car. The leather seats appear comfy with tall, puffy headrests. Some seats are facing and have tables between them. You can see the edge of a table on the single seating opposite side of the car. The windows are large to view the spectacular Northwest scenery. The floors are carpeted. The end wall has wood paneling with a white Amtrak Cascades logo. New spacious Amtrak Cascades Cafe Car features windows on both sides. A large service counter sits in the middle. Evergreen and cream colors with gold accents match the Amtrak Cascades logo, a reflection of the Pacific Northwest. White and green shadow lighting create lovely hues on the ceiling.
