I hate that the mainstream media keeps referring to a "partisan divide", as if what the GOP is doing is just politics and not FASCISM.

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government." WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Schumer reminds me of when Paul Ryan laid the groundwork for MAGA and then left politics, except Schumer is trying to ensure the "centrist", "pragmatic" Dems like Fetterman have more agency than AOC and Jasmine Crockett.

@chuckschumer.com Can't believe you are not standing strong. You are a coward too. We have no one in government that has the spine to fight back against this dictator. If I lose my ss I will lose my home, I guess I could get a job in politics you can be worthless and over 70 and still work there.

It's bewildering that Schumer thinks bowing to the GOP now would do anything more than encourage them to demand more subservience in the future.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

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!

7 Financial Traps to Avoid at All Costs: 1. Buying a car you can’t afford. 2. Paying the minimum on credit cards. 3. Relying on one source of income. 4. Not understanding taxes. 5. Letting fear stop you from investing. 6. Trying to time the market. 7. Thinking you’ll “figure it out later.” #finsky

I know some folks are hell bent on shifting to the right as a party but maybe we should consider BUILDING UP THE DEMOCRATIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE SOUTH WHERE A LARGE PART OF THE MOST RELIABLE BASE OF ANY PARTY LIVES? Voting Rights? Voter Outreach? Voter Education? Voter Registration?
