Our campaign raised nearly $845,000 this filing period. We did it from 10,988 individual donors across almost every NYC zip code. And with $500,000+ matching eligible, we expect another $4+ million next month. We have the movement, the momentum and the money to win.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The eventual fate of the GOP

submitted 50 days ago • 2090 comments

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.

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!

Things are moving quickly, but it looks like these Sen's especially need calls from constituents to vote NO on cloture: Angus King (ME) Amy Klobuchar (MN) Jacky Rosen (NV) Brian Schatz (HI) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Gary Peters (MI) Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

There are so many betrayals in Chuck Schumer's vote for the CR, but perhaps none worse than going against the request of the federal workers who've been most harmed by the on-going coup. The largest federal workers union asked @schumer.senate.gov to vote against the CR and he just ignored them.

There are many Democrats who don’t agree with some or many of AOC’s policy ideas. But what she gets and more conventional Democrats do not is that political fight can be catalyzing and transformative. You can change the shape of the playing board in ways … www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

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.

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.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...
