Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises.
When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo

While Elon Musk blocks food-bank share links on his platform, he could feed 17 million Americans for a month using just 1% of his $491 billion fortune. 1%—that’s all.
Instead he chooses censorship and cruelty over compassion.

Last night's so-called deal was a tragically disappointing result for the millions of Americans who are facing higher health care costs next year, and for our efforts to confront this bully of a President. I voted no.

Two things:
1. I hope you’re not having a “wonderful” day. I hope you are seething…the red hot kind of seething.
2. I hope you choose to channel that into constructive action; the kind that puts a great deal of distance between you…and thoughts of “what’s the use?!”

People, don’t get complacent. The worse may be yet to come. The more pressure on this bastard, the more desperate and cruel he will become.

Lying awake wondering if squandering last Tuesday's victories is a feature not a bug for Senate Dems. Are they pitching themselves "this will reduce excitement by 18% and then we won't get more Mamdanis"?

PP is deeply unpopular not just within his own party, but across Canada. The real problem, particularly as it pertains to his leadership review in January, is that there doesn't seem to be anyone within the party willing to stand up and challenge PP's position, which itself feels very Trumpian.

I'm going to make so many calls this week I hope my phone burns its circuits out because it got so hot. Consider doing the same. Have a sensible "script" written out...so you make sense, but do it while you're pissed off. It feels better, and the person taking your message WILL feel your intensity.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.
