This is incredible. It’s like Cuomo is looking over his shoulder, worried Trump might think he’s saying something critical of him

Hello from the occupied West Bank. After careful consultation with my financial advisor, I’ve decided to abandon the work that paid my bills for 15 years and go full-time into the lucrative world of independent reporting. Please consider supporting my work on Substack! 🔗👇

one of the hallmarks of the current centrist movement is to pretend they haven't been running the show for the last decade. in fact, they've been in charge the whole time and drove us into the ditch.

Watch this.
People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

Pronatalists: a movement of weird and bad parents. From Musk to the Collinses, to JD Vance, here is a breakdown of every freak of this less than fringe ideology.

You can't do that, it violates the statute, but the Supreme Court has decided that nothing the president does is illegal, so they can cut any program or fire any worker they want whether there's a shutdown or not. What are we even talking about here
JUST NOW -- TRUMP on shutdown: "We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like. "And you know all you all know

Here's what's happening here: – Israel collects taxes from Palestinians – Under Oslo, Israel is required to transfer that money to the PA – Smotrich has unilaterally decided not to do that – In effect, Israel has stolen $600M from Palestinians and is strangling the WB economy
Israel's government began withholding unprecedented funds from the Palestinian Authority in June. The security cabinet seemingly never discussed the move – it was led by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich alone | @nati_tucker

Congressional Dems, March: here's a budget Trump/Vought: *withholds half of the non-defense discretionary spending* Congressional Dems, September: OK no budget until you REALLY promise to work with us this time
Dem Sen. Gary Peters says a commitment from GOP leaders to work on health care/ extending ACA subsidies could help keep the government open: “There's got to be some framework, not just, trust us, but also, actually a framework that's being discussed.”

Hell no. We don't need a delay and a pinky promise to negotiate -- we need a deal that keeps the government open and saves health care for Americans. I'm in D.C. ready to vote for that. Republicans have refused to come to the table for months. Why would Democrats acting weak
SCOOP: Chuck Schumer is sounding out his members about a spending bill to reopen the government for 7 to 10 days — if a shutdown is in fact triggered on Oct. 1

CACO Schumer can always be counted on to cave to Trump. Uniquely ill suited for the moment.

Schumer’s plan: We’re going to beat authoritarianism by deploying serious disappointment in our esteemed GOP colleagues!
Asked what he would do to stop the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Chuck Schumer replies: "I'd hope some of them [Republicans] would join us in legislation to prevent it from happening." "I know they're loyal to Trump and does whatever he wants but this is so far

Plotting in a wine cave to install your utterly uninspiring chosen candidate is a great way to signal that you don’t believe your own rhetoric about our democracy being in danger.
Politico reports that Senate Democrats are planning to spend the government shutdown holding a fundraiser at a Napa Valley luxury resort/spa and wine cave, where they will be bankrolling the conservative candidate that they are trying to buy Michigan's Democratic primary for.

The Supreme Court just enabled pocket rescissions. Trump is now free to make a deal that everyone knows he won't honor. Hard to come up with a rationale for playing along
🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP will meet with @SpeakerJohnson, @LeaderJohnThune, @SenSchumer and @RepJeffries MONDAY at the White House. The govt shuts down Tuesday. Trump canceled an earlier meeting with Schumer and Jeffries. Dems are demanding health care provisions get added to

It's so funny that Mamdani is supported by *exponentially* more Jews in NYC than is this genocidal, Nazi-defending piece of shit:
1/ I'm absolutely blown away by the sheer brazen audacity of @ZohranKMamdani, telling all of us in the Jewish community who does and doesn’t represent us.

Unsurprisingly, Bernie and AOC are more popular in Pelosi's district than she is and Saikat's "informed ballot" explicitly connects him to both of them.
