Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

As we reflect on the Supreme Court’s denial to hear Kim Davis’ challenge to Obergefell v Hodges, don’t forget that Davis must also pay $360,000 to the couple who’s marriage license she refused to grant. I hope they treat themselves to the best anniversary present that money can buy.

I still do not fully understand why they did it in the first place, what is their angle? Not what they say, what is the real reason. Durbin is my Senator, I don’t get why a lane duck does this?

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?”
TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

I have argued for the longest time that Chuck Schumer should resign as Dem leader in the Senate. That he can’t hold his caucus in line over the government shutdown proves I am right.

So we’ve got 10 Dems we need to primary. That means:
1. The majority are standing firm and fighting back.
2. We need to spend every moment spreading the message that every Republican just voted to gut healthcare and make it more expensive.
The GOP can’t hide from their lies.
