Cue Barber’s Adagio for Strings
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

This specific paragraph fills me with rage:
1) “issues like democracy” like it’s a run of the mill policy issue and not the whole goddamn ballgame
2) “moved towards the center” so one might also say that they moved… left 🤔

The actual winning strategy for Dems might be to never listen to anyone involved in this nonsense ever again.

You might not know someone who had a “Nazi phase,” but you do know someone who has made a racist remark at a meal or meeting with no consequence. These guys don’t exist in a vacuum and we have to look at how we may be contributing to the environment that produces them.

The President turning the military against Americans is a bigger story than the shutdown and media outlets should treat it accordingly.

Here’s a thought: rather than pointlessly asking someone else to do something, you instead focus on what you are going to do about it. Because this ain’t it.
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.
Here’s a thought.
Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

The way in which some people seem to be unable to understand that a belief in something for *all people* does not need to equal an endorsement of an individual’s actions within explains a lot about the public defender discourse that was happening on here a couple weeks ago.

Some folks in the comments need to realize even when they are saying things you agree with, it’s still a bad thing to have people being secretly paid mouthpieces for a lobbying group.
NEW: A dark money group Is secretly funding high-profile Democratic influencers, offering influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

Little tip for the fellas: do not start a conversation with a neighbor you have never once spoken to with “are you single?” Even if you mean well, it comes off as super creepy.

I hate that it’s probably going to take people’s favorite performers and athletes to start refusing to come to the US to get a sizeable chunk of the population to wake up to anything that is happening.

This clown is going to see an office printer and say it’s an autonomous idea generator.
The real bombshell is that he’s a sitting senator and just figuring out how our system works.
Where did he think the money came from? A money tree?
We print our own money. This means numbers in a computer go from one to the other. Welcome to the world, Ted.

I realize it’s not the most important thing in all of this, but I feel like it should not be ignored that the White House doesn’t seem to know what an aircraft carrier is.
NEW WH statement claims court order “had no lawful basis,” “was issued after…aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory”
“A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier full of [migrants] who were physically expelled from US soil”

Schumer really took one look at the hole he dug himself this week and said “Where’s my shovel?”
Trump removed $400 million from a university in Schumer's state. Schumer reiterates Trump's argument (its about antisemitism) and then says he does not know where the cuts were being made. He also said Khalil should be deported if he broke the law, he doesn't know.
C'mon man. How do you not know?

There are very legitimate reasons to avoid a shutdown. I think part of the anger is a the waffling. The constant instability created by the administration is shredding everyone’s nerves and now to have it come from Dem leadership is infuriating.

Gillibrand should be removed as chair from the DSCC immediately as any Dem who votes yes for cloture can probably kiss their re-election hopes goodbye. The very painful ship sailed several weeks ago for most of their constituents.
3. Gillibrand is right—Republicans plan on making it very, very painful for Democrats if there is a shutdown, and Gillibrand is now overseeing the DSCC, which means she’s responsible for all the Senate Democratic candidates running in this cycle.
