Drinks With Dems – Bellbrook Edition No speeches. Just real talk, community & good vibes. 📍 Bellbrook Brewing, OH 🗓️ Wed, June 11 | ⏰ 6–8PM 🍕 Food provided | 🍻 Drinks on you Pull up. Let’s build. 💙

As a House guy, it strikes me that the Senate’s innate chumminess blinds them to the defects of their colleagues that are obvious from the South end of the Capitol. Rosen makes a good point. But nothing is surprising about Rubio rolling over for Trump. It’s why he was chosen for the role.

Springsteen says: - [ ] In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.

"Springsteen didn’t pull any punches — no references to 'our national divide' or 'both sides' or 'polarization.' He was direct, angry and precise in his language." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

If passed, this bill will effectively cement the US position as technologically behind China for a decade or more in batteries and EVs. The US-based auto industry will shrink to a local market with high prices for outdated tech.

It’s actually insane that there’s an argument happening here over whether the plane grift is “corruption” What are we even doing?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Trump memes: 764,000 losses, 58 wins. #econsky

Hauled off to a detention center WEARING CHAINS AROUND HER WRISTS AND ANKLES and she'll be held there FOR A MONTH before she gets to see a judge, all because she made an illegal right turn on red. Jesus. And remember -- that ugliness is the due process that the Trump folks whine is too much.

I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion Can't no orange-toned woman make me walk the line If you see me comin' better step aside A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will

This is fucking vile.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB

Are you listening, @schumer.senate.gov? She's talking about you. And that crowd in Tempe, AZ agrees with what she's saying. For the good of the country and democracy, step down as Senate Minority Leader. It's clear you don't have the fight in you, and we need a leader who knows how to fight.

No longer can this be the face of our fight for democracy! Chuck needs to resign.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

There is only so much ‘We the People’ can do if the people we elect to protect us fail us every single time. Shut it down, @schumer.senate.gov

WTF, Chuck?!

What's good for the goose...

Unprovoked, illegal attacks are awful. Presumably Musk will agree to give up parts of X to Ukraine to stop the attacks. And why isn’t he more thankful?

I’m sure every Republican in Congress who was a military veteran will have the courage and integrity to call out Elon Musk for calling Mark Kelly a traitor because that’s how they roll.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

This is the court that said the president can break the law. I’m pleasantly surprised not paying bills doesn’t fall under the same category.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.
