- Planes falling from the sky - Consumer confidence plummeting - Grocery prices soaring - Job losses mounting - Measles outbreaks - Major security snafus - Protests EVERYWHERE - Social Security threatened - Medicare & Medicaid threatened "Two perfect months" 🤡

Hard to say. I'm hoping there's at least one person in @schumer.senate.gov's office who understands that you don't just have to wait for a president's poll numbers to drop. You can actually challenge his vulnerable points, expose his flaws and *make* those poll numbers drop. Honest, it's true!

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

This would be a nightmare for anyone receiving social security. These tyrants simply do not care.

Clarification: He doesn't mean those who assaulted police officers on J6. Only those who are hurting Elon's wealth.

We’re literally closing libraries. Think about that

More bullshit. Donald Trump, you can’t shut down the Dept. of Education — and you know it. Fox News even knows it. So stop it. We know you’re just trying to wear us out. But for the record, I am not overwhelmed. My zone isn’t flooded. I will fight your illegal behavior until the cows come home.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Get a library card even if you don't plan on using it often. It helps the rest of us who can't afford to buy every book we want to read.

More erasure… In the next Trump press conference, reporters need to ask him to explain how Jackie Robinson’s military service had anything to do with DEI. When Robinson served in the Army during WWII, the military was segregated. He was drafted in 1942 & served until 1944. There was no inclusion!

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes: "The cruel irony is that thousands of transgender servicemembers have sacrificed — some risking their lives — to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them."

DOGE is plotting to cut Social Security phone support, according to leaked memo provided to Axios. The richest man in the word going after grandparents trying to get access to their own money is vile.

Pure evil!

3 situations where Republicans said “do X or else” and the entity gave in just to have the “or else” happen anyway: - Columbia with speech/ICE (defunded) - DC with the BLM mural (defunded) - Congressional Dems with the whole budget (defunded & they’re still shutting down the gov)

On the plus side, the healthy anti-vaxxers standing around waiting for their cod liver oil with people who have measles will soon learn how well the cod liver oil wards off disease.

We have lost mainstream media.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

No one ever made the world a better place by demeaning humans and restricting liberty.

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.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Not a SINGLE Democratic senator should vote for the Republican spending bill. Doing so would simply further embolden and empower Trump in his effort to destroy our government and the vital services it provides. STAND YOUR GROUND AND FIGHT — LIKE HOUSE DEMOCRATS DID!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

You know what to do. It’s time to Boycott Toyota, now…👇 Fuck Toyota and their shitty ugly cars! #BoycottToyota 🌈✨

Same!

@hickenlooper.bsky.social @bennet.senate.gov @degette.house.gov @joeneguse.bsky.social @crow.house.gov Please tell me you all already know this and are listening to your constituents!

All the Senate staffers who know what's up talk to Murshed. I'd take this list very seriously.

While SpaceX falters, Tesla crashes, Twitter has a global outage, and Washington grows weary of Musk's ongoing crime spree and attack on the federal government, the dude finds time to call a decorated American hero a traitor for standing up for Ukraine and our European allies.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: effective Monday Ontario is charging "25% more for electricity to 1.5 million Americans in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war." Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan. Are we winning yet? apnews.com/article/cana...

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

Seriously

Democrats, You don't need presidential aspirations to lead. You don't need the establishment's approval You don't need to have all the answers People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed Step up and lead.

At some point I need Democrats to also understand that nuance is dead. There is no room for a "nuanced" position on things that are black and white. I get these ten Dems that supported the censure of Al Green are "standing on their principles" but your opponents are not. Stop giving them wins

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

During tax season! Brilliant! 🙄

Why are Dems not screaming that Trump needs to rehire air traffic controllers, subsidize eggs, fire Musk's teenage hacker brigade, and apologize to Zelensky? And cancel his unofficial State of the Union speech and any further golfing until all that's done.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social @bennet.senate.gov DO. NOT AGREE. TO. FUND. DOGE!

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House. Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please! Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.
