NEW: Expect some drama in House Dems’ meeting this AM over a vote to honor Charlie Kirk. Some members undecided. Others voting no or “present.” But some in the party fear anything but a unanimous vote for it will be a messaging coup for the GOP. @Axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/18/c...

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Seems the “far left” has spoken.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social making the point that a vote against Zohran is a vote for Trump, and Dem leaders refusing to back him can’t expect to ask for support for other races down the line. @repjeffries @senschumer

Anti-JB Pritzker comments can basically be put in 2 categories: 1:) "He removed toilets from his mansion." 2) "He's fat." He's been governor for 5 years at this point. Is that really the best ya'll got?

Great country we got here.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

If you help Judge Crawford win this race, it'll make Republicans much less scared of Elon Musk.

It’s the obvious I need to log off and play with my kitties for a while. So I leave you with these thought’s from Josh Marshall, one of America’s best political thinkers.

This whole thing was bleak throughout. And had it gone the other way it would have been only slightly less bleak. We face the worlds choices as they come. That's life. The one thing that came out of this that was to me a positive was a window of about 24 hrs when senators were cutting short ...

It’s awesome that Senate Democrats are voting to pass Trump’s budget while he’s at the DOJ calling them a bunch of criminals and saying newspapers and MSNBC should be illegal. That’s great, good job guys.
