Our society’s conflation of wealth with virtue is the underlying problem. No kings. No slaves. No Nazis. Sometimes going to war is the right thing to do.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

There really should be a coordinated effort to force Schumer out as Minority Leader as a result of his failure here.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

The past 24 hours really exposed the Republicans’ non-plan on health care. Since they were unable to repeal the ACA, they intend to make health insurance premiums skyrocket so people can’t afford health care, which will ultimately make emergency rooms their primary care doctors.

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."
My latest, in @msnbc.com, on how ICE, CBP, and Bovino may be overplaying their hand in Chicago.
Also: this will only make hiring go ICE harder.
And: I hope ppl appreciate that the lying Judge Ellis calls out is NOT an aberration, but a very consistent problem w police claims.

A federal judge dealt federal agents a setback – and shed light on a much more persistent, deeper problem with policing.
