As a Christian on this day and all days I want to remind us all that Jesus message was simple: love your neighbor, feed people, don’t judge, humility, and pray in your closet so it’s not an act or a show. You’ve already lost the plot when you think feeding kids is bad.

We are witnessing the eradication of #disabled ppl. We will die w/o access to healthcare. We will die w/o the meager amount disability provides us to live. We will die w/o medical research to treat us. Kids won't get jobs w/o accessible schools. Good countries don't kill their disabled population.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Let's be clear: A symbolic vote against final passage of this extreme MAGA spending bill is meaningless after giving up real leverage on the cloture vote. The 10 Democrats who voted with the GOP think they can fool you with this performative resistance. All of them will have to answer for this vote.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.

They are supposed to be intrusive. They are designed to ferret out weaknesses that might make them susceptible to blackmail. But I guess you can assume that for anyone taking a job with this “administration” those conflicts would be seen as perks, not problems.

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.
