The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

The most surprising thing to me about Kate Miller leaving with Musk is that Stephen Miller is married. That poor woman.

This hits hard.

We need to as passionate about loving other people as they are about hating them.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

We cannot allow empathy to die.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Kristi Noem incorrectly defined habeas corpus as the president’s right to deport people. Huh? That’s… not even close.

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

Puppets…

Pete Hegseth is a liar. These are war plans. End of story. Hegseth is unfit for the job and should resign or be fired immediately.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Schumer is done. Get him out of there.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

The American people want to see Congress fight to restore government. Bending the knee to Trump and Musk at this moment does the opposite of that. Senate Democrats must hold firm against the CR. Do your job.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Predictably, the Russian reaction to the Ukrainian unconditional ceasefire offer is that Russia has a condition: that Ukraine concede its sovereignty to Russia. Now Russia will try to get the Americans to do for them things they cannot do for themselves.

Chuck Schumer is incapable of meeting this moment. He should resign and let someone who actually wants to fight lead his caucus.

Exactly f*cking this!

Chuck Schumer is exactly the wrong man for these times.

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!

@schumer.senate.gov is definitely compromised. Trump only praises those who have bent the knee.

Trump is plotting the invasion of multiple countries across North and Central America which includes Canada, Mexico, and Greenland. He's asked the military to start drawing up plans on how best invade Panama to steal the Panama canal. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-asks-m...

Having lived in an abusive home for much of my childhood I distinctly disagree. Having seen my friends cut off, having been shamed for the behavior of those I had to live with, I call you on your bs @schumer.senate.gov This sucks. You sold us out? To this?

F*ck Schumer's surrender math. Shut it down. And if you're a gov employee that truly givers a f*ck, show up and further shut 'em down! Stand up to the pigs of Trump and Musk. Don't let them in. Don't back down.

In chess, a tried and true strategy is to always think a few moves ahead. @schumer.senate.gov and the @democrats.org are revolutionizing this theory and turning it on its head by thinking 10 moves behind. The republicans won’t know what hit ‘em!

*chuck schumer sits down to play chess* *lays down king* "good game!"

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

The anger at Trump and Musk is bipartisan. Yet, dipsh*ts like @schumer.senate.gov want to concede to them. WTF?

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

"IF WE DON'T VOTE TO FUND THE GOVERNMENT, THE GUYS WHO'VE TAKEN OVER THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT!"

At this point, I am convinced @schumer.senate.gov and other old guard Democrats are compromised. It’s time to get them out of the way.

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.

Tomorrow morning, 8AM, Prospect Park West & President St, if you're mad at Schumer let's show it.

oh look y'all… a way to contact Schumer despite the fact he's doing his slimy, wiggly best to dodge the american people: SHARE WIDELY these are schumer's chief of staff and legislative director… two of the most critical staff positions:

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

Chuck Schumer as a hostage negotiator: All right, what if we tell him he can murder one of the hostages? Maybe then he'll get it out of his system.
