Mass. Senator Elizabeth Warren has sought to put her political muscle into action by elevating Democratic candidates nationwide who share her progressive populist vision. It’s not going the way she hoped.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social You should be ashamed as editor in chief that this tripe was published. Not only is it flawed and misleading (at best!), it is dangerous and minimizes the extreme threat to our democracy and its citizens that is obviously and overwhelmingly perpetrated by the right.
When Vought was in front of the Appropriations Committee earlier this week, I didn’t see or read of anyone (even the Dems) asking him why he was so confident in “DOGE” as an agency and an entity when it has fucked up everything it has touched. bsky.app/profile/wash...
Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.
@markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov Why did you vote to confirm this person? Please do not cast any vote that enables this administration again. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics. Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession. I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.
And 10 years after the McKinley tariff…
Newt Gingrich says the "McKinley Model" requires high tariffs over a three-year transition period. Notable: Three years after the 1890 McKinley tariff, the economy had fallen into a severe depression. The GDP shrank by 10% and unemployment hit 18%. Certainly not the economic model I'd be copying. 😳

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.
@samborden.bsky.social Thank you for a sad but beautiful remembrance of a wonderful and influential girl, and the impact she had on some truly good people.
