MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Do you hear us, Democrats?
For 35 years, GOP has been repeating the trope that Dems are “soft on crime.”
Despite both Clinton & Obama cracking down completely.
NEVER let your adversary define you.
WHY haven’t you fought back?

So many of them have been arrested for domestic violence & child molestation. You'd THINK the DNC or some democratic leader would have a an organized database of this wholly predictable dynamic & make a giant issue of this. but that would be smart & effective messaging, so...

“As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”
As if it needed to be repeated, the dismantling of USAID will go down in history as one of the modern world’s greatest moral failures.

Tyranny doesn’t steal power all at once. It starves it, vote by vote, truth by truth, until silence feels normal. Today, we still have a voice. Use it before legitimate elections become a memory whispered about in the dark. #Vote

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off."
A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

I'm not sure we're able to even begin really solving things until we stop treating poverty and hunger as problems created by personal failures rather than systemic ones
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
