Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.
They are not.
They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Gave all their power and momentum away for absolutely nothing. This might not be their promised vote but it shows how it will go when it happens.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

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.

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.

Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Yes my two Senators are at the forefront of this but anyone who isn't paying attention and not seeing the 8 votes as retirees or safe for midterms needs to wake the fuck up and see the wool being pulled over your eyes. There were a lot of traitors allowed to vote no when they really didn't want to.

Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.
Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

@hassan.senate.gov You may not even have an opponent yet but the campaign to end your career starts now. I will dedicate whatever resource necessary to make sure you don't survive a 2028 primary. You will end your Senate career as you lived it, just another spineless centrist coward. #NHPolitics
