"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in:

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

JB Pritzker: “The president knows so little about the government and he cares so little about delivering anything that talking to him is a useless endeavor. I’m about delivering for the people of my state, he’s about delivering for himself.“

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Remember when they called us hysterical for correctly pointing out that Donald Trump is a corrupt, un-American wannabe dictator who doesn’t believe in the Constitution or the rule of law?!

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

The Judge's order blocking Trump from putting 2,200 USAID workers on administrative leave and reinstating the 500 that were already on administrative leave. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-nich...

Hey man that salute wasn’t what you think it was and the camps trump is gonna put immigrants in are definitely not concentration camps - Republicans right now.

From the very moment these fires in Los Angeles broke out, President Biden has been there for California.

I am deeply grateful for the President's continued support and commitment to help contain these wildfires and provide Californians the resources they need.
