Republicans are having their pictures taken in front of a building that houses thieves, rapists, pedophiles, and murderers. Then they are leaving the White House lawn and flying to El Salvador to pose in front of a prison.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

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.

You know that scene in Braveheart where Wallace is betrayed by the Scottish nobles and he chases one down and finds out it was Robert-the-Bruce. And then Wallace just lays on the ground in disbelief at the betrayal? That’s how I feel right now. Chuck Schumer is a weaker Robert the Bruce.

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

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.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

Republicans cut Democrats entirely out of their process for the CR, didn't want any of our input, and would have been blamed by a majority of the American public for a government shutdown. There was no reason to cave to them. Chuck Schumer has to go.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.
