@SenSchumer @RepJeffries As a lifelong Democrat, I expect you to lead with urgency or step aside for those who will. Meet this moment: fight to make everyday life affordable and hold this administration accountable. Voters deserve action, not excuses.

Dr. Andrews and Dr. El-Sayed are in the building.
ALT An image of Senator-elect Dr. Annie Andrews and Senator-elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed talking to one another. Below a screenshot of a post from @polisciqueenn reads, "RFK Jr.'s worst nightmare."
You think so.. nah, Trump is easily manipulated with his ego. Bills will be named after him and he will sign them. 😂😂

Single bill legislation? If not, sit this one out. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats
Something @HouseGOP already voted to do in July, when we passed the Stop Insider Trading Act.
All 218 Republicans voted yes. 198 Democrats voted no, including you.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The July 2026 House vote on H.R. 7008 (Stop Insider Trading Act) passed 232-198, with all 218 Republicans and 13 Democrats voting yes; the bill also included a federal photo voter ID requirement for elections.

James Talarico tells Jimmy Kimmel what he thinks Jesus would say on the floor of the US Senate about food assistance, Medicaid and deportations
“Jesus Christ is the most famous victim of identity theft”
“Scripture tells us that you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse the immigrant. You can't love God and oppress the poor. You can't love God and bully the outcast.”
“I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate?”
“depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family.”

Stephen A. Smith DROPS the “Socialist” Question on Abdul El-Sayed — The Candidate Turns the Tables on Billionaires and Corporate Greed
Stephen A. Smith: Forgive the obvious question, but are you a socialist?
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: I’m not. I’m a capitalist who understands capitalism.
Adam Smith, who coined the term capitalism, said there is no market without morals. He also said the biggest danger to capitalism wasn’t government regulation, but monopoly.
Think about it. Your phone is probably made by one of two manufacturers. You have one of three major carriers.
If you fly to another state, you’re probably using one of three airlines and one of two aircraft manufacturers.
We have monopolies and oligopolies throughout our economy, and that’s anti-capitalist.
Capitalism is supposed to use supply and demand to allocate scarce resources. It was never meant to allow massive corporations to dominate entire markets.
Even worse, these corporations use their money to influence the politicians responsible for regulating them.
I believe in free markets. That’s exactly why we need to regulate corporations and stop them from buying politicians.
Tbh, LeBron not even in the conversations. Easily taking MJ, Kobe, and TD over him, as well as others. Bron just not a winner when it counts. You can't be in the GOAT conversation with a losing Finals record. Bron closer to Jerry West (same record in Finals games 22-33).
Stop forcing Kobe into the goat debate I get that he died a terrible death but enough is enough he’s closer to Tim Duncan talks than bron and Mike talks

We love you Joe! Keep fighting cancer! Sending well wishes to you. I will be picking up that book!
I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.
