Not even 4 months in and we’re already at the "arresting judges" phase of fascism. We are seriously under-reacting.

Chuck Todd is culpable for where we are today. Many before him have admitted to changing their views but the but the only purpose that serves is salving a guilty conscience. We don’t forget what he said when he was still hosting important shows.

🚨The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

The fact that Witkoff was in the chat while being in Moscow means that russia knows everything that was being discussed there. But russia didn’t need Witkoff for that because Tulsi Gabbard was also in the group

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime. Keep sharing everywhere.

Brad Schimel Admitted to Having "Psychologically Beat the Daylights Out" Of His 8-Year-Old Daughter The Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate said he emotionally shut out his wife and kids meidasnews.com/news/brad-sc...

So @schumer.senate.gov’s plan is hope Chief Justice Roberts bolsters the courts Wait to see if Trump violates SCOTUS And then we’ll ALL protest THAT’S NOT LEADERSHIP THAT’S THE OPPOSITE OF LEADERSHIP What’s the strategy to STOP Trump from disobeying the Supreme Court Please, Senator Step down

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has canceled his book tour because he doesn't want to have to face the consequences of his actions from angry constituents.

"What happened today – that speech – was a desecration of the Justice Department of the Great Hall of Justice, where it was given."

On this day in 1965, President LBJ calls upon Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. Speech is commonly called the We Shall Overcome address. " Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right...

Congratulations to @schumer.senate.gov and the others who just played into the hands of an insane dictator who just said it's illegal for cnn and msnbc to criticize him

Working title for my new book: "Democracy dies in Decorum: How democrats ceded the Republic to oligarchs because they were too busy adhering to norms that nobody gives a smelly shit about anymore." It's a work in progress.

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.

As if decorum could defeat fascism.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

"When faced with two awful choices, pick the one that requires less courage." - The Art of Losing, by Chuck Schumer

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

There’s a big exhale in the Democratic Party right now. Everyone has been collectively holding their breath. And finally we get to exhale and say: Fuck Chuck Schumer.

@schumer.senate.gov you are a disgrace to all Americans. I am ashamed of you and your weak leadership.

@timkaineva.bsky.social @markwarner.bsky.social please vote NO on the CR cloture vote.

Senate Dems it is NOT true a shutdown will close the courts. You need to use your leverage NOW to rein in Musk. Don’t give your vote away especially on BS argument that you need to keep govt open to fund the courts

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!
