The work of democracy is never over. We need to keep pressing. And as the current shutdown moment shows, pushing for one side to “win” isn’t enough; we have to push, together, through both the high points and the setbacks, for what matters.

ALERT: We might have to make sure mail-in ballots are in before election day! Plan now, reach out for help.
Unfortunately I am here to tell you: it's time to worry about what the Supreme Court is going to do to mail ballots postmarked by election day that arrive after election day, in states across the country. This could be enormous.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

A little bit of what's going on here.
NOTE:
(1/3) This handshake deal is for a Continuing Resolution (CR) that would extend government funding only through 1/30/26, with a "minibus" of three full-year appropriations bills that would fund specific programs/agencies, including SNAP benefits, through 9/30/26.

Folks are so online they think performance is everything.
But the truth is that elections have consequences.
America gave control of the government to maga last year.
Scotus, White House, Congress.
That is the hard truth.
Keep the government open or closed.
Both options suck.

For those who still don't understand...the healthcare tax credits expire December 31, 2025. The Republican plan has ALWAYS been to let it expire.

People are starting to realize that their One Weird Trick isn't going to fix what's ailing the country, but rather than try something more productive, they're getting angry at elected officials who know that there is no secret button that will take them to before the 2024 election.

The Senate passing a bill that is NOT the House CR means the House has to also vote on it. Dems are doing harm reduction and forced the repubs to cave and pass a different bill than the House. Now let's see what House repubs do.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.
