a Wing & a Roar

@maureendowd Is there no one in your orbit who can burst your hermetically sealed pod of delusion and denial. Deal with your godamn daddy/mommy/self-loathing/Irish-Catholic bullshit or whatever the fk issues drive you to gain attention at any cost. Find a honest person who left the pod.

@americamag Dolan knows who butters his bread. Looks like Dolan been commissioned by his Napa Institute bros to apply some dispensation to their investment. He'll get a room upgrade at their resort and await his next assignment.

Cardinal Dolan said he “had a little tête-à-tête” with Vance sometime after “he suggested that bishops in the United States were pro-immigrant because we were making money.” americamagazine.org/news/2026/02/2…

@EdKrassen Question for Steve Bannon: What most terrifies you about going back to prison? The cuisine, the toilet, or the attire?

BREAKING: Steve Bannon, the guy who was being advised by Jeffrey Epstein in the Epstein files says: “We‘re gonna have ICE surround the polls…We’ll never again allow an election to be stolen.” How can anyone not view Steve Bannon and Donald Trump as part of the cabal? They will maintain power as long as they can no matter what it takes because if they don’t , they are going down!

@amnestyusa Bezos elite wedding guests don't give a shit:  Kim Kardashian & Kris, Kendall, Kylie, Khloé; Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, Eva Longoria, Barbra Streisand, Ellie Goulding, Jewel, Tom Brady, Usher, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Mick Jagger...

The Washington Post layoffs come at a moment when press freedom is already under assault by the Trump administration and journalists around the world face repression at the hands of their governments. With this massive cut to both international and local reporting, all of us, including policymakers in DC, will have access to fewer fact-checked investigations on the impacts of decisions made in Washington on human rights around the world.

@JonathanTurley Can't wait until you are evicted from your closet and your collection of creepy shit is cataloged, just like they did with the Nazis.

Many on the left appear to have a particular hatred for Robert Kennedy Jr. as a type of fallen angel, a progressive from an iconic Democratic family who rejected the party's intolerance and direction. Hell hath no fury like a party scorned...

@Martina Hey Mom, why did you invite Uncle DePlorable in the first place?

Happy Family Thanksgiving to everyone:?

@ChrisCuomo I've figured it out. You are mentally incapable of realizing your mother convinced you (and your brother) that you were special, brilliant, destined for greatness, and entitled to privileges, and although she believed it was true, it was a delusion, as you've demonstrated daily.

Finally...we can all agree ufo or uap transparency is warranted and real and needed.

Tonight is another example of why we need new leadership. If @ChuckSchumer were an effective leader, he would have united his caucus to vote ‘No’ tonight and hold the line on healthcare. Maybe now @EdMarkey will finally join me in pledging not to vote for Schumer?

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line. Not one House Democrat cracked. Not one House Democrat caved. I’m going to remember that.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

.@SenTimKaine ? Resign. Don't vote and then resign - RESIGN NOW. You are no longer a Democrat

@MeidasTouch Cowards all

NEWS: U.S. Senate advances bill to reopen the federal government in a 60-40 vote. Dems who votes yes: 🔵 Catherine Cortez Masto 🔵 Dick Durbin 🔵 John Fetterman 🔵 Maggie Hassan 🔵 Tim Kaine 🔵 Angus King 🔵 Jackie Rosen 🔵 Jeanne Shaheen Republicans who voted no: 🔴 Rand Paul

I'm voting no. In the richest country in the world, families shouldn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and their health care. But that’s exactly what Donald Trump has done to Americans with this shutdown. There should’ve never been a shutdown in the first place, and I worked to find a solution with Republicans and this administration. But Donald Trump has proven he doesn’t care about rising costs, skyrocketing health care premiums, or working families struggling to put food on the table. He has spent more time working on his ballroom than working to open the government. He sued to block food assistance for hungry families. I’ve spent the last month hearing from Arizonans worried they can’t afford health care and families who were going broke and hungry because the government was shut down. That’s who I’m fighting for. But Donald Trump rejected a straightforward compromise that would have best served all Americans by reopening the government and keeping health care from becoming unaffordable and out of reach for millions, including thousands of Arizonans. If he’s ready to get serious on a solution to keep health care premiums from spiking, I'm ready to work, but everything he’s done suggests he just doesn’t care.

Chuck it doesn’t matter how you vote. You failed to lead this caucus. Stand down as minority leader, pass the torch gracefully, or expect to be pushed out. You have a chance to salvage the last shred of dignity left in your legacy. Take it.

@SenatorBaldwin Right call, Tammy. Stay the course as your cowardly, capitulating Dem colleagues feel a tsunami of contempt before they are permanently shamed, shunned, and removed by the people they betrayed.

A wink and a nod to deal with this health care crisis later – with no actual guarantees – is just not enough for me or the Wisconsin families I work for. I refuse to sign off on a deal that doesn’t lower working families’ health care costs.

@NotAvgLiberal Let's have a perpetual loop of calls expressing our contempt for these capitulators.

These assholes right here turned their backs on millions of Americans. Vote. Them. Out.

IS THIS WHAT 11 MILLION “NO KINGS” PROTESTERS, PROTESTED FOR?! FOR CHUCK SCHUMER TO FUCK US OVER IN THE END?!

@lisa_liberal 24-7 Blast your contempt for these cowards.

If they don’t get anything, but a promise to vote later then how do Senate Democrats explain the last 40 days to the people who have suffered? The people were supportive of Dems efforts to fight for something, but what happens if the fight ends with nothing for the people?

@donwinslow Capitulating cowards

These 8 Senators voted last night to guarantee that *24 million Americans* will have their health care premiums skyrocket and that 4-5 million will lose health coverage completely. IMO 7 Democrats and 1 independent guaranteed you get fucked by Jan 1. Here are their names:

@RepSwalwell Let us communicate our disgust with the self-serving capitulators directly now.

Makes sense. Chapter 1 from the 48 LAWS OF POWER does say “When you hold all the cards, fold.”
