The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

Is it really too much to ask?

Perfect. Felon-47s.

I found @chrislhayes.bsky.social's interview with Schumer to be eye-opening. Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

this is a golden age for walking out of your lab with a USB key in your pocket getting on a plane and going to Luxembourg

Ric Grenell's gaslighting is absurd. Boo this craven asshole every time he dares to set foot in this institution. Or anywhere else he goes. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

As far as I understand it, 10 Democrats voted for the Republican budget because, if they didn't vote for it, there might be a government shutdown which would give Trump the power to fire federal employees and shut down agencies -- TWO THINGS TRUMP AND MUSK ARE ALREADY DOING ON A DAILY BASIS

Every single one of these quislings needs to be primaried. The Democratic Party needs a major refit. Holy crap. What a disaster.

We went from a highly transparent system around vaccines to a closed one. The opposite of 'radical transparency' and giving people information to make their own decisions.

🔥🔥🔥

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process. Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

It isn't that @schumer.senate.gov and the Democratic leadership have no spine, it's that they do not know how to lead. They are so out of their depth in this moment of crisis and it means we have no one coming to our rescue in Congress. It's up to us. The Dems are feckless.

Chuck Schumer is a Republican. Pass it on.

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.

This. Schumer does not represent the party we need right now. Time to move on.

We’re going to have to do it ourselves.

I’ve got nothing but tough love for Ds right now. They’re still afraid of using hard rhetoric and elevating their one star @AOC while the other party just confirmed a cabinet that includes a guy with a brain worm, a Russian asset, and the human equivalent of Info Wars.

Some good news! 🙌🏻

It’s important to remember to step outside our US centric focus and remember that the US does not vaccinate chickens against HPAI because other countries will not accept the imported meat. These vaccines are not necessarily approved in other countries.

LIES. LIES. LIES. There are DECADES of proof that the measles vaccine is effective and SAFE. SHUT.YOUR.MOUTH.

I’m old enough to remember the Repubs in the Senate using the filibuster on things such as voting rights & reproductive rights! The Senate Dems should hear from their constituents ahead of the vote… the R’s should be forced to negotiate & the only way is if they filibuster and hold the line.

Nope. No thanks.

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

SHUT.YOUR.MOUTH.

Sorry fellas. Not fringe theories. False information and pseudoscience call it what it is.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Let’s cut to the chase…fear of losing their power and their celebrity status. I’ve never seen a bigger group of cowards than the GOP. #countryoverparty

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

Nothing to see here……👀😬

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

Names. Now. Flood their phones. Find primary challengers. We will not stand for traitors.

1. This is illegal 2. This is a direct attack on students and families across the country 3. It would make all of our lives much much worse in order to free up cash for Musk and Trump to hoover up for themselves and their fellow billionaires

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

These same Justices held Biden could not use a statute passed by Congress for student debt relief because the statute authorized it but needed to extra double authorize it. But for Trump, he can simply ignore statutes and appropriations entirely, Congress is irrelevant.

LFG!!!! 🙌🏻

these people are hopeless. i hope they all get tea partied next year

Jfc Warner. Just join the Republican Party already. Trump doesn’t respect the office so why should you?

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
