Oh my goodness. U.S. bishops IN YOUR FACE, standing up for immigrants. That they made a statement is not surprising; that they made a video—including my own Archdiocese of Newark’s Cardinal Joseph Tobin—kicks it up about ten notches. GOD BLESS POPE LEO!!!

"The biggest takeaway from all this is that Donald Trump learns another lesson in the virtues of brazening it out. He is willing to shoot the hostage, and the Democrats are not. This ultimately strengthens his negotiating hand."
Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

It's snowing here. The forecast is wildly fluctuating between nothing and 7 inches, because we're right on the edge of a lake effect snow band.

If we don’t hold them accountable, we become this ourselves. There’s no third option.
40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

Elise Stefanik called J6 insurrectionists “hostages,” voted to strip healthcare from 1.5M New Yorkers, and backed Trump’s cuts to our hospitals and counterterrorism funds.

Now she wants to bring that extremism to Albany. NY deserves better than Trump’s self-described “top ally.”

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

That the executive can't spend money, and thus do stuff, without the regular and periodic approval of a representative legislature isn't some incidental hiccup. It is the core premise of the power of the purse, the most bedrock foundation of Anglo-American constitutionalism from time immemorial.
The American people expect Congress to get the hard work done.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.
