Do Senate Democrats really believe that Americans will hurt any less when the government is reopened and Trump and his sycophants can hack away at whatever programs they dislike?

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.
It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."
But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

1981: My immigrant father lost an election. He taught me that running for office, giving voters a choice, losing, & trying again are all critical parts of democracy.

Ali Velshi: Democracy is built by people who show up even when the odds say they shouldn’t
In 1981, Murad Velshi was running to represent his district in the Ontario Legislature. He never stood a chance, but he taught his 11-year-old son that running, losing, and trying again is what democracy is about. Six years later, Murad ran again— and won — becoming the first Muslim immigrant elected to Ontario’s Legislature, proving that democracy is often built at the margins long before it reaches the center. Decades later, in another major city, another Muslim immigrant has achieved the improbable: Zohran Mamdani, now the first Muslim and first South Asian immigrant elected Mayor of New York City— a reminder that democracy is sustained through courage, coalition-building, and showing up, especially when the odds say you shouldn’t.
