This breaks my heart. My salary at St. Jude was paid through our comprehensive cancer center grant. My wife's oncologist is at a comprehensive cancer center. Millions of children and adults with cancer get treatment in these 57 centers around the country. These are essential locations for research.🧪

Schumer needs to quit. He’s useless. Completely clueless.

If we are deporting all men who have extremist tattoos without hearings, this dude would be in El Salvador by now.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Musk doesn’t care. Neither do Trump and all his supporters. Even the ones who profess to be devout Christians.

If Vladimir Putin had a plan to foul our air and water, wreck public health and drive America over the cliff of irreversible lethal climate change, it would look exactly like Lee Zeldin’s plan. This is a plan for self-inflicted environmental disaster. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@raskin.house.gov

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.

Correct

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.

It’s been an awful long time since I’ve seen a man less made for a moment than @SenSchumer.

"Privately, House Democrats are so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging [AOC] to run against Schumer in a primary."

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Here’s the deal: @chuckschumer has gotta go. He just ain’t made for this moment. Come on Democrats. www.mediaite.com/tv/sorry-chu...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that she plans to mobilize her massive base of followers to oppose what she described as an “acquiesce” by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to accept the House GOP funding bill.

Tell Schumer and every Dem NO on CR

Schumer has chosen to not be a leader and the rest of Senate Dems should ratify *that*. We don’t have time to fuck around.

anti-establishment crusader uhhh Susan Rice

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

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

So Schumer wants to avoid a government shutdown so Trump and Musk can continue to shut down our government and bypass Congress.

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.

Sen Dems vote against CR. Then demand a new minority leader.

Never vote for a D who supports this. This is utterly pathetic

Spend every dime to win the house. Primary senators who sell out

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

#primarySchumer

Oh yeah Chuck, they’ll stand up to him any day now, just like they did after he fucking lost an election and was out of power

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

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.

Republicans control every part of the federal government. They’re unpopular people who have been doing unpopular things — if you can’t make the obvious case that any shutdown is yet another misstep of their own making, you should get the hell out of politics

If Gillibrand can't figure out how to help her members message who is actually at fault for the shutdown during campaign season, then maybe she shouldn't be the DSCC chair.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Calling all #Feds !

Check this out — American stocks were on par with global stocks up until late January — and have now dropped terribly since then Gosh I wonder what happened in late January?
