Thank YOU, Aftyn, for fighting the good fight, hopefully for just getting started! You’re a force to be reckoned with, so keep your head held up straight, face your foes straight on, and know your truth, THE Truth, will prevail! We have your back!
Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

OMFG!! This is despicable, shameful, completely unnecessary, and tragically sad!
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

New Justice Department filings reveal that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who chose to defy a federal court order by transferring more than 100 Venezuelan men into Salvadoran custody to be imprisoned.

GOOD NEWS!
I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Let’s not kid ourselves: Anyone who believes #thefiles won’t be completely scrubbed of every mention of the Orange one, (what do think P Bondi was doing last week, besides telling her boss it was “taken care of”?), is deep in denial of the truth.

Reality check.
Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.
Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.
Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.
But what about the Republicans?

My exact thoughts, too. I’m keeping the door of possibility open that we’ll still see the complete files, not redacted, maybe coming from a source in friendly country other than our own. I’ve heard they’re out there.
I have the sneaking suspicion that once the Epstein files are out they’ll be so redacted and whitewashed of Trump‘s name by his DOJ clowns that it’ll be a disappointment for everyone who’s been waiting for it.

“Hey, no ACA amendment, no yes vote!” All it takes is one of the 8 Dems who voted to pass the bill, to say “I vote NO. . .”, in both of the remaining “full-60-votes-needed-to-pass” Senate votes. Call, email or message any all of those turncoats and TELL them, politely but emphatically, of course.
There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

That’s my question, too.
An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??
