Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.
A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.
U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

Aside from the orange felon abusing pardon power to issue pardons to fellow criminals, he just issued dozens of pardons to MAGA officials who helped him commit sedition in 2020.
Giving a deranged criminal full power was a horrible idea and he won’t stop until it’s all destroyed.
