Not every day that a case you worked on leads both @nytimes.com & @washingtonpost.com! Musk & DOGE unconstitutionally hijacked & destroyed USAID—our case w/my wonderful colleagues @sddaction.bsky.social & Marziani Stevens Gonzalez proved it

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

did i see that right that for Chuck Schumer it’s only a Constitutional Crisis when it comes from the Supreme Court region of Executive Branch Tyranny?

Democrats need to out-tea-party the Tea Party. Ya hear?

Let's go, resistance! Voters of Tomorrow @santiagomayer.com has made it easy for you to email all democratic senators. Keep pressuring them and reposting this post so others can see it and jump in to help! We can do this. LFG!

I see your not bothered by you're typo. Well that makes one of us

“Appease Putin at your peril.”

Republicans: “It’s not enough to let the children starve. We must starve the working animals, too."

Thoughts from a Dem House aide on Schumer's move: "I think our people need to see us fight for them and we correctly sensed that in the House and did it but the Senators got the fear."

I genuinely think we’re about to have a liberal Tea Party moment

ROUND TWO!! A second federal judge sees through the Trump administration’s illegal firing of probationary employees!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

CNN has descended into one endless version of Crossfire with Bill Maher’s roundtable.

I get pushing SEN DEMS to vote against cloture tomorrow to prevent Senate magas from adopting the House CR is against the odds, but the battle is NOT over. Schumer is over. Tomorrow has not yet happened. Sen DEMS can still vote NAY. I may be let down HARD! I don't care. I will not yet yield...

This is going to sound like a shitpost but it's a legitimate question: has anyone made the Senators from NY aware of this

The truly terrifying part is this is the risk you’d face in “normal” times being held in custody. Under the Trump regime I can’t even imagine what these numbers would actually look like.

In response to what Schumer is saying on TV: A: The government is ALREADY SHUT DOWN. They’ve been shutting it down since Jan 20, for black people. Perhaps Chuck could acknowledge that?? B: They already have the reins of power. Chuck wants it open so he can continue playing pretend!

Don't let Senate Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov cave to the MAGAs. Tell him we demand Democrats protect our veterans. Please respond and repost so others can find this information and participate by taking action now! We can do this, resisters. We, The People, have the power. Use it!🔥

Ummm. That’s very very concerning.

Democrats are not capable of being an opposition party. They like rules and working the levers of government. Put the progressive caucus out front and let them lead. The progressives thrive on opposition. They know how to fight an oligarchy. They were politically born for this moment.

They literally just told everyone in the dept of education to not come to work!!! They are already doing this!!!

100% All you have to do is stick to your principles. If you can’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

Watching Senate Democrats punch themselves in the dick for the guy they called Hitler is super fun ain’t it?

Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

I didn't realize this until now and the point is kind of technical. But it's significant. No one has actually filed for cloture on the bill itself. So that means that even if Dems fold tomorrow this is going to go past the deadline and into shutdown. Setting aside the weird words here's the deal:...

At this point I think even moderates would be somewhat receptive to Bernie Sanders appearing in a general's uniform and declaring republicans enemies of civilization

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

symbolism is a little on the nose here
