If you claim to stand for freedom but work to limit it for others, you’re not defending freedom — you’re defending privilege.

The Democratic Party is now the party of free trade, national security, economic growth, and fiscal responsibility.

I spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum this morning. In a shifting global economy, strong and reliable partners matter. Canada and Mexico are focused on deepening our trade relations and building stronger economies, together.

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about inflation or the people who voted for him.

JD Vance just one more embarrassment.

What the actual fuck:

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

📌It fucking amazes me that EVERY country outside the U.S. understands that EVERYTHING Trump is doing benefits Russia -- EXCEPT the corporate, mainstream media. 📌Seriously, it blows my mind that this isn't in all their reporting. They are either complicit (possible), or incompetent (probable).

Schumer cancels his town halls

Moskowitz: As far as Pam Bondi is concerned—you know, don’t touch a Tesla. Why? Are the Epstein files in the Tesla?

It’s alright if it’s someone else

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited At the very least, Chuck Schumer should be primaried. It would be good if he would step down from leadership in the Senate. It’s time for some new, younger leadership in the Democratic Party. We need leaders willing to fight hard, our democracy is in crisis.

The US Director of National Intelligence reposting a Russian propagandist in Malaysia posting lies that track Kremlin propaganda about an organization that has been a beacon of light to people around the world since 1942. We are entering a very dark place.

What? You think I'm scared of you? Cool story bro. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Resistance backlash upends Chuck Schumer's book tour

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

The Republican Party is officially gone

How is this prediction going so far?

The eventual fate of the GOP

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

Schumer enabled GOP power plays, failed to protect democracy, and abandoned the people when it mattered most. He’s lost the fight—and our trust. It’s time for new leadership. @schumer.senate.gov Time To Step Down @dearlstephens.bsky.social lays out the case perfectly here 🔥 (link in thread)

I really like her

Sen. Mark Kelly: "I think it's probably the worst 50 days of any presidency I can think of in my life. It's been, you know, pretty much a shit show since day one" Full interview on the MeidasTouch Podcast 👇 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4UCi...

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.

Schumer is done as Senate minority leader. It’s only a matter of time.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES sound up 🎵 DAY 14 MARCH 2025 Tonight I Made This "VIDEO of SHAME" SHAME CHUCK SCHUMER, FETTERMAN, GILLIBRAND, DURBIN, HASSAN, CORTEZ MASTO, KING, SCHATZ, PETERS, SHAHEEN, &KING NOW VETERANS COULD DIE NOW TRUMP HAS UNLIMITED POWER SHAME ON THEM WE DESERVE BETTER

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

BREAKING: Millions of Americans have been betrayed by TEN SENATE DEMOCRATS who voted with Republicans to advance a GOP-crafted funding bill. Ultimately, the bill will give the Trump administration even greater control over the budget as Trump and Musk continue to dismantle and destroy the…

This is easy shi$ Democrats!! You have the majority of the people with you!! Stop messing it up!!

Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar will be voting no on the CR. Thank you, Senator!

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

I've been quiet lately for... a lot of reasons. But honestly: Fuck all this shit. Gloves off. Cowards to the back.

trump has bruises on his hands, he drags his leg and is stumbling on the fucking stairs, clown boy is falling apart. You know the media would be all over this if President Biden were falling with bruises and shit. WHERE IS THE COVERAGE?

Hm.

Schumer had 11 protesters ARRESTED! They were protesting peacefully in front of his office! What the fuck @schumer.senate.gov you ass!

The state of New York, you can do better!!!
