Hey @mbta.com WHY is the Red Line crawling into JFK? If I ever make it to DTX & switch to the Orange line, I might get motion sickness from the transition to such high speeds.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

The deal to end the shutdown would pave the way for senators to sue over phone searches.
Because the provision is retroactive to 2022, it would appear to make eligible the eight lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed by investigators for Mr. Smith...

Are you paying attention, @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us
@warnock.senate.gov knows what this shutdown fight is about. It’s a question of priorities.
He delivered a #CupOfJoe in a way where it’s EASY to SEE the truth. I’m disappointed that some Democrats abandoned our priorities.

Should be pretty clear that without House commitment on a vote on ACA extensions, it is purely symbolic as part of the Senate deal
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year.
All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Lead or get out of the way, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your crucible moment. #HoldTheLineforHealthcare
If Schumer can't whip enough votes to prevent a deal that will price millions of Americans out of healthcare, he needs to resign.
Schumer is voting No.
He can’t stop Fetterman from voting Yes.

Speaker Johnson has repeatedly said he won’t schedule a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies. So what good is a Senate deal to end the shutdown that hinges on them promising a vote? It would be pointless.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)
