Just so that we’re all clear what’s happening here: The United States is deporting people without due process, sending them to labor camps in El Salvador, and paying the Salvadoran government for it.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Even if you think your senator is already voicing your opinion, call them. Call them. Call them. If you’re “not political”, call them. If you have done nothing else to support your community, do this!! This is something! Your opinion matters and this app helps!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Dems leadership needs to go. This is not like a Reagan tax cut. This is not the past. This is an existential moment. And yet…they do nothing but compromise Dem values and priorities. I was a precinct captain for Obama in ‘08 @schumer.senate.gov just sold out everything we fought for. SHAME.

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.
