I will never obey in advance and you shouldn't either. There, I said it. We only lose if we stop fighting.

There is a Swasticar stock price below which Elon's holdings become insufficient collateral for the loans he took to buy Twitter and his other crap. Let's find it, shall we?

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

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

We can speculate all day about the potential perils of shutting down the government vs. give Trump/Elon a blank check CR to decimate it all, including our social security and Medicaid. It's a simpler choice. We can either go down fighting on our feet or compliant on our knees. I want the fight.

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

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

No longer can this be the face of our fight for democracy! Chuck needs to resign.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

Democrats, this is a strong national voice to lead the opposition against Trump’s dismantling of government and destruction of institutions. Our opposition has gained overwhelming urgency amid the rapid-fire pace of Trump’s efforts to execute his demolition agenda. Thank you, Sen. Mark Kelly.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

Sounds like Trump’s team spent a lot of the day trying to placate panicked GOP members of Congress. Republicans are freaking out about the market, a potential recession, and midterms. Ray Charles could have seen this coming.

Good on Congresswoman McBride for ignoring the asshole. Even better that Keating blew a gasket. Do not normalize these fascist fucks and their cruelty. Ever.

What's good for the goose...

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Going over to X now feels like having to check the mold infestation in your basement.

Amen

Trump’s 180 on aiding Russia instead of Ukraine is a disgrace and a tragedy. Depriving Ukraine of weapons & intelligence assets has already caused the death of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians & undermines Ukraine’s bargaining position. But that seems to be Trump’s goal. (1/2)

That is exactly true.

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

This is the truth behind the “tariffs” 👇

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

I miss John Lewis. I even miss John McCain. Fighters on opposing sides. ...but both lions who would crawl through a mile of broken glass to defend our nation against fascism.

Developing: Trump has suspended new tariffs on Mexico...not Canada...for the moment. We are watching a masterclass on how he ran 6 of his businesses into the ground.

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts. His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce. People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more. + labor shortages. The fuckening continues.

DONALD TRUMP: "My tariffs are gonna be great for America!" STOCK MARKET: "God, you're stupid."

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.
