Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Grow a spine, Chuck.

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

I asked Schumer about this last night and his answer was basically that they’re wrong.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

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.

We have to support the Dems’ no vote and help republican voters to understand the stakes!

Feel the Bern!

Hampton Dellinger is my hero!

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

Don’t fly. Don’t buy.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Please be the leader we need even if it tanks your political future! You will land by on your feet. Someone has to lead us through this mess. Politics are gonna become irrelevant if we don’t fight with everything we have and expose what is happening. Think of Navalny!

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them. Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

Ukraine, Europe, and the rest of the free world should tell Trump & Vance and the U.S. to fuck off. Trump, Vance & the U.S. are siding with Putin. It is what it is.

Utterly despicable, cowardly behavior by Vance & Trump. I’m embarrassed to be an American today.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are Russian assets. Pass it on!
