Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The Democrats are lucky to have a politician like @aoc.bsky.social in this moment.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

The Commerce Secretary is promoting a company’s stock on live TV, and not just any company’s - the company owned by a ‘special government employee’ and the president’s biggest donor. The corruption is the point.

Still mad, but also really funny

CNN reports that in a private meeting, Senator Michael Bennet erupted, accusing Democratic leadership of having "No strategy, no plan, and no message on this spending bill" (direct quote)

Disgusting democrats #democrats #schumer

#TeslaTakedown Chuck Schumer

Democrats need to expel anyone who votes for cloture from the Party. If you’re going to support Republican efforts, just put the fascist R next to your name. We’re tired of democrats being losers. @schumer.senate.gov #schumer #trump #congress @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov

Disgusting, a disgrace of a man, what a joke, if you’re not in opposition then you are complicit. #loserschumer @schumer.senate.gov

It's not too late. There's still a chance to stop this CR... and potentially humiliate Schumer out of leadership in the process, although no promises there. This backlash is very, very real though. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on cloture. 202-224-3121.

Ocasio-Cortez mobilizes Democrats against Schumer plan as colleagues privately urge her to consider primary challenge www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

The whole "but both options are bad!" rationale doesn't reckon with the fact that only one option can be mitigated. A shutdown creates a fight that could lead to a different solution; a cave just locks in the bad option.
