AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Congratulations to Mary Sheffield on her historic win to become Detroit’s next mayor, and the FIRST woman to ever lead the city. Mary’s leadership in Detroit and commitment to our community is inspiring.

So proud to celebrate this moment for Detroit, for women, and for the future of Michigan.

The national average price of gasoline at $3.096 per gallon is now *higher* than it was a year ago ($3.088/gal), but down 3c from a month ago.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that.

For the 32yrs I’ve been an RN, I’ve fought for universal healthcare!

It’s not only smarter but more cost effective!

My first degree is in economics.

This country has failed our citizens in every way possible in healthcare!
Period! The ACA was a good start, but it didn’t get changed enough…

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill”...has been one of the “single largest transfers of wealth upwards in decades”...

But...

"Policy reforms over the last 40 years, from cuts to taxes and the social safety net, to labor issues and beyond, really had the backing of both parties.”

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.

Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

Sorta seems like a problem.
