Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing.

Democratic leadership in Congress presided of losing the House, Senate, White House and popular vote to MAGA.
The Democratic Party currently has a 29% approval rating.
Senator Schumer is canceling public appearances, fearing protest.
Yet the entire leadership remains intact?!

I don’t believe MAGA regrets their vote much at all. I think what you’re seeing are outliers. It will take much longer than a month and a half for any sort of buyer’s remorse to emerge in large numbers

I cannot emphasize this enough: no one will remember the shutdown even happened when it’s time to vote next year. One way or the other!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

$1 billion in cuts, hurting American farmers and American children.
Yet, this President continues to send billions to Israel, while Netanyahu has an active arrest warrant.
I don’t ever want to hear “America First” from these fools ever again.

Newsom is an awful man without a single principled bone in his body but I am actually genuinely shocked by how terrible his political instincts are in this moment
the base is screaming for someone to stand up to this fascist kleptocracy and he thinks they want him to pal around with the fascists

I love how Gavin Newsom, a man I've long suspected to be an opportunistic sleaze, has finally revealed himself to the folks whose political bullshit detectors may not be as finely tuned. He's making it easy for everyone!

I can’t stand when conservatives call Social Security an “entitlement” as a negative.
Our seniors have paid into a system to ensure they have money later in life, you’re damn right folks entitled to that money.
