Once Again, Senate Democrats Show They Don’t Get
Who They Represent
The party was riding high on election wins, a fractured GOP, and a flailing Trump. And then the Senate Surrender Caucus handed Republicans a win.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Agree.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

The shutdown has essentially not impacted immigration enforcement in effectively any way. Not only did the admin declare all enforcement “essential” and require it to continue during a shutdown, but as a broader matter, ICE is tapping the $75 billion it got through the OBBBA to keep money flowing.
Any Dem reopening the government is helping Trump and Homan to kidnap more people. There is absolutely no benefit to re-opening the government. They're telling you every day that when ICE gets more money, it's gonna be full on disaster. If your Senator is offering up a CR, they're on Trump's side

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The so-called #FixOurForestsAct would lead to more calamitous clearcuts, more habitat-fragmenting roads, and worse water quality.

Today, Rep. Krajewski and I made it clear: Pennsylvania’s classrooms are not for sale. Our bill defends academic freedom — because no president, past or future, gets to control what our students learn.
Thank you Senator Williams and my other colleagues for your outspoken leadership!
