Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.
When you see how excited Trump, Russ Vought, and Republicans are about the government shutdown, it becomes pretty obvious the reason why they refused to negotiate a compromise with Democrats is because they wanted this and they completely own this, regardless of their lies.
Word of the Day: OBLITERATED
Which is:
What America's airstrike did to Iran's nuclear stockpile
OR
What POTUS did to America's status in the world
We feed you.
They hunt us.
It’s not safe for athletes or spectators. If the committees don’t pivot, the world should boycott.
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
Yes!
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
hear me out
what if we *neither* unconstitutionally accepted jets from a foreign nation *nor* kept throwing the jets we already have in the ocean?
How much endless coverage on this flying palace are we going do? How about it’s illegal and unconstitutional…full stop? Then let us know when there are any consequences.
How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law
Two birds?
Telling my boss that I've written 200 beautiful emails and I'll be revealing them very strongly in the next few weeks. I can't say who I sent the emails to or what they were about but the response has been frankly very positive and I think you'll be very happy
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "You've got so much that's manufactured south of the border. And then the final assembly is done north of the border... Those relationships took decades to build. He's destroying them in real time. But he's destroying the most important commodity... and that's trust."
Open classified document, Copy, Paste.
The question still remains…did Trump really win by 15 pts?
This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:
Just going to say that accidentally adding @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social isn’t the main story: it’s how we *know* the story, which is:
1) not following OPSEC on any front
2) airstrikes as messaging
3) appalling disdain for our European allies
4) incompetence and stupidity
I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.
I love this for him.
Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
If you think the goal/inflection point is the midterms…start listening to the people—journalists, historians, nat sec experts—who say we do not have that time.
Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"
If Putin gets Ukraine, baby boy wants to get his toy, too.
