This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN

We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Story of many many Americans lives.. the medical stuff shouldn’t be political But somehow that has become Toxic too????

The problem is, even if there is a process, it relies on people being transparent and the senate enforcing the rules. And that is clearly not going to happen in this regime.

Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

A lifelong Republican just endorsed Mary Peltola because she understands working-class struggles better than the people supposedly on his own side. This is what happens when we build something bigger than party lines. Let’s keep that momentum going. #BlueWaveIn90Days #USDemocracy

Trump inherited one of the strongest economies in the world, yet 33% of Americans still think he inherited a disaster. The power of right wing propaganda. #BlueWaveIn90Days

“.. 15 companies with investment from President Donald Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments, and loans — most coming after Trump took office for the second time.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Trump continues to take lessons from Putin. This is what a mob run state looks like.

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

The IRA contained a massive tax credit for clean-energy. By Election Day, this policy, alongside other, smaller Biden-era programs, had driven $185 billion in announced private investment into factories that make solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles, among other clean technologies.

"The conventional wisdom today is that Biden’s bet [on the IRA] was a bust....Every part of that story, however, is at best incomplete and at worst simply wrong. The law did, in fact, deliver votes for Democrats. And key components of it are still on the books." – @leahstokes.bsky.social

Whenever I read something written by Republicans, I always assume there is a new writers strike.

What once would have been a pitch in a writers’ room for tastelessly edgy joke in a comedic satire of a deranged country full of greedy sociopaths is now our reality.

For all of Trump’s chest-thumping about the potency of his endorsements, especially in GOP primaries, three Trump-backed Republicans have lost in the last two months. The Amir Hassan example in Michigan, however, is clearly the most embarrassing. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump-endorsed candidate loses congressional primary to a rival who had quit the race

For the third time in two months, Republican primary voters simply ignored the president’s advice, despite weird boasts about his intraparty powers.

We're throwing people, many of whom have not committed crimes, into for-profit prisons where they will be starved and abused. In The United States of America. In 2026. Land of the free and home of the brave my ass.

ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.

First of all, this is a stupid lie. Second, Donald is intentionally *raising* the cost of prescriptions. He is cruelly about to cut Medicare subsidies for drugs.
