Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

Republicans have created a health care crisis. Congress must act to save health care for millions of Americans.

Before working moms go broke from a cancer diagnosis.

Before community hospitals are forced to shut down.

Before your neighbor with the home health aide loses his care.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Air-traffic controllers are calling out sick and I support them. No one should be forced to work without pay while the people responsible for the shutdown still get their checks. Shut down Congress instead. Shutdown the entire country! Remind Trump: WE keep this country running.... #GeneralStrike

Pelosi: "Democrats who created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, all of that, are now being asked to reject that so we can give a tax cut to the rich. We're not doing it. It isn't a question of, 'let's come back together so we can discuss it.' That isn't going to happen."

Rep Swalwell (D-CA) tells Simon Rosenberg that Democrats are united and making sure the American people know that #TrumpShutUSDown All so he and MAGA Republicans can rob us of our healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Republicans don’t give a shit about working families.

Absolutely right. What will our military do? That is the question. We are here because too many people and institutionalists rationalized this behavior, being too afraid to confront it head on. This should have been stopped long ago.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.
