Democrats, we need to talk.
These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight.

Something happened to Angus King in early 2025.
After calling Trump's actions "the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the US" and floating the idea of grinding things to a halt to bring MAGA to heel...he just melted.
Why? What's the story? #MEpolitics

Sorry but I still can't get over this.
Angus King on the Senate floor yesterday: "We could reclaim our power...by...holding the president’s nominees...until he ceases his attempts to make policy unilaterally."
The VERY SAME DAY he voted to confirm a Trump election denier nominee. #MEpolitics

Weird thing about this is Angus King caved from basically the beginning: He's one of the three (including Fetterman) who voted to capitulate a full month ago. (tinyurl.com/3y7v89zx)
So the idea that he 'got what we wanted' or there was some sophisticated calculus at work makes no sense. #MEpolitics

In other words, balanced reporting, which I find refreshing.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Condem gun violence in America, offer thoughts to families, pray to your gods of inaction, but realize the violence and killings are only going to escalate in this climate stoked by corruption, misinformation and injustice. I mourn for the country but not for those who have blood on their hands.
