Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

Ah the party of free speech is at it again

Collaborators with the fascists.

Dick Durbin voted for the MAGA budget. Dick Durbin is up for re-election in 2026. Do with that information what you will.

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.

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?

John Ossoff, Rev. Warnock, Ruben Gallego, Mark Kelly, Jackie Rosen, Elissa Slotkin, and Tammy Baldwin all stood their ground against the MAGA budget. But safe D Senators, Schumer, Durbin, Gillibrand, and Schatz gave Republicans the votes they needed anyway.

These Democrats, on the excuse of least bad, handed Trump a fully financed government to do with as he pleases. We are watching. We won’t forget. #WeThePeople are #TheResistance 🗽

@cortezmasto.senate.gov doesn’t have any posts for me to comment on, so I will post here that she is a spineless traitor like all the other Dems who voted for this disastrous CR! #CatherineCortezMasto

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Thank you to the Democrats that held strong and voted against Donald Trump's budget. And my harshest condemnation to Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Kirsten Gillibrand, Maggie Hassan, Gary Peters, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jean Shaheen, Brian Schatz, & Dick Durbin for selling us out.

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!

Front page of Fox News right now…quite a look for Senate Democratic leadership! What a disappointment

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like? Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days? Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
