Everyone needs to think harder about how to drive attention to this giant Medicaid cut bill Republicans are on the verge of passing — it’s very unpopular, all factions of Democrats oppose it, and yet it’s barely present in the discourse.

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency. Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

This Administration is just🗑️& Hegseth needs to be fired for the Defense Breach on Yemen to the Atlantic Reporter…End of discussion…

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary ?

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.

Still accurate as fuck.

This is a disgrace!

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre. 🤣

Jared Moskowitz was asked by Axios about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to support the CR: "Amy Schumer was great in that movie 'Trainwreck.'" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.
