Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids. The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids. "Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel. Sigh.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

BREAKING: Israel is heavily bombing Gaza right now, once again violating the ceasefire. Israel is deliberately attacking Palestinians and relentlessly targeting them after 17+ months of genocide, mass killings, and forced starvation.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

I am struck by how fucking insane the Senate is behaving. They have done literally nothing of note to alter their schedules despite the most insane government crisis since the civil war.

The headline really sanitizes what they did to this guy. Getting stripped naked, inadequate food, sleep deprivation sounds more like war on terror ear rendition than "interrogation."

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters. They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

I also want to reiterate that it took every single Democratic Senator to agree to this deal. A single Democratic Senator could have denied unanimous consent, pushed this into Monday, allowed more time for the discontent to fester. Every Senate Democrat is complicit. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

This is what is upsetting me. You are correct Amy, they are using the complex rules to their advantage. You should demand from your senators that they vote no on everything, object to unanimous consent, and demand quorum calls until Trump is thrown out of office.

Lmaoooo. People have pierced the inner circle. This is genuinely hilarious.

Imagine being the 60th vote for the MAGA Murder Budget? We need a crowd funded Primary the Accomplices Fund - anyone who rubber stamps the hostile takeover of our government gets challenged next election.

Remember when Biden's inner circle swore up down left right he would not step down? Made battleground state Dem leaders put out a letter supporting him staying the DAY BEFORE he stepped down? Do not give up. This is not over & saying it is gives them cover. #NoOnMAGAMurderBudget

"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

“This is bullsh*t. This is not a real strategy. The reason why you do this is because you think your constituents are too dumb to understand how congressional procedure works.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Call your Democratic senators and urge them not to cave: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

Quite something that Schumer had his NYT op-ed justifying his surrender ready to go tonight while not informing the public (including his constituents) of his plans. He seems to think this is just an old-school pr battle. He's never been more wrong.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

I don’t really like to comment on political strategy but WTF are Schumer and Newsom, two of the most powerful leaders in the Democratic Party, doing right now?

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
