One of two things is true:

1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.

OR

2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?

SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Speaker Pelosi set the gold standard for effective governance, always doing what’s right for California and our country.

This may be the end of an era, but the policy and infrastructure she shepherded, her legacy, and leadership all leave us ready for what’s ahead.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

To Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Thank you for your courage, fearlessness and focus. You knew the issues like nobody else; you knew the challenges like nobody else: you got it done like nobody else; you were driven to make life better for the people without a voice. And thank you for being my friend.

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Old enough to remember when Dan Bongino was supposedly livid that the Epstein files weren’t being released and was on the verge of resigning. What happened to that?
