Acclaimed author Joyce Carol-Oates, 87, really got to Elon by pointing out he is a shell of a human with little of interest to say, has no original ideas and he clearly doesn't read. I have read many of Joyce Carol-Oates books but to me rattling Space Karen ranks up there with her greatest accomplishments.

Republicans have tried to destroy the Affordable Care Act for the last 15 years. Last night 7 Democrats and 1 independent helped them do it. The eight old white Senators below didn't re-open the government. They ended health care for millions of Americans. Learn their names.

this is their real agenda: stop government programs that help Americans who are struggling financially

This shutdown "deal" sucks. Trump’s federal firings were already illegal — that shouldn't have been leverage. And a "promise" of a vote on healthcare while risking 5m+ people losing it completely? A crock of BS. Vote. It. Down. Fight harder. Do your job.

Speaker Johnson could’ve done this WEEKS ago. The White House coverup is clear. It’s time to release the files and expose whatever the Donald Trump and Pam Bondi don’t want to come out.

Bernie Sanders just walked up to the podium after Susan Collins laughed along with Republicans about their bill and he said, "If this bill succeeds... for certain groups of people it would be tripled, their premiums... when you throw 15 million people off Healthcare, 50,000 Americans die unnecessarily... you think that's funny?"

.@SenFettermanPA @giselefetterman @JohnFetterman America needs to know this story.

Chuck Schumer voting no, while getting 8 Democrats who aren’t up for reelection to cave and vote yes is political cowardice and negligence. You can’t be an opposition leader if you continually bail out the opposition.

INDEED you are correct. A president has no such authority to pardon a person who’s been charged, indicted & guilty verdict(s) vis State Courts It is entirely reckless & reprehensible that Trump continues to obstruct justice By issuing these pardons, at least 4 attorneys were disbarred by their State Bar(s) but again POTUS’ pardon power is NOT absolute -at all. Again any pardon or clemency goes through the DOJ office of pardon SOURCE justice.gov/pardon BUT this is why no one can convince me that Bondi & Kash didn’t conspired with Trump to pardon SOURCE constitution.congress.gov/br…

They gave a child rapist a FUCKING PUPPY?!?!!!!!!?????!

If you are a House Dem, who is considering running a primary challenge against a Dem Senator whose time has come - reach out. There is a STRONG network of PACs, grassroots groups, and volunteer orgs who can make sure you are WELL funded even if you don’t have DCCC backing.

As a new Democrat, the disconnect is clear: 8 Dem senators failed to meet the moment. The base had one demand: FIGHT. Just freaking fight. #Democrats #Politics

If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, the state of New York must indict her. The problem is, she’s in a federal prison in Trump friendly Texas. Trump will help her immediately leave the country. She clearly has a dead man switch that exposes Trump if anything happens to her.

💯 this.

This isn’t just a statement, it’s a man who has spent his entire political career warning of this to be ignored over and over again. Well now, the rubber is about to meet the road and it seems to me a potential historic travesty that it is being aided and abetted by Democratic votes. The consequences are beyond comprehension. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdKFhoR1/

Johnson refuses to take questions as a reporter asks if he would bring ACA extensions to the floor

He’s not going to answer questions about a vote he’s not going to allow. And those eight Democrats need to be listening to him and take their votes back. Right now.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Angus King is 81 years old. The "independent" U.S. Senator from Maine has held elected office for a total of 30 YEARS. Old. White. Out of touch. Working against People of Color IMO And last night he did exactly what Trump wanted.

81% of the Democratic base in a poll last week said Congress should “refuse to approve a budget unless it includes extending these tax credits, even if it means the government remains shut down.” But even 81% of the Dem base is not enough to get all Senate Democrats on board. #Pathetic
