Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government." WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK

Well there’s 188k of you here now so let me introduce myself again. I’m Santiago Mayer, I’m 23 years old and the Executive Director of @votersoftomorrow.org. I have spent the last 6 years working to turn out Gen Z and stop MAGA, and I’m not stopping now. Can you RT and follow to help reach others?

We might’ve lost today, but I am incredibly proud of the OVER 80,000 emails that @votersoftomorrow.org sent to Democratic Senators today. Even if our leaders are failing, the grassroots keep proving that they are ready to fight. And fighters win.

Trump is standing on a stage right now in the Dept of Justice calling out attorneys like Marc Elias by name accusing them of trying to turn the U.S. into a “corrupt, communist, 3rd world country,” and praising Judge Cannon for “modeling everything that a judge should be.” Disgraceful & dangerous.

Really feel like only AOC, Pritzker, and Walz have more or less walked this tightrope, but plenty of Dems ARE figuring it out. It would be nice if that happened, you know, much more quickly.

I will 100% vote NO on House Republicans’ partisan slush funds bill that turns the government into a piggy bank for billionaires.

submitted 1 day ago • 398 comments

Let's be clear: House Republicans' funding bill is Congress rolling over for the billionaire arsonists by rolling out a slush-fund filled, year-long continuing resolution that empowers Trump and Musk to pick winners and losers with YOUR taxpayer dollars. I will vote NO.

The Trump administration has made painfully clear they are willing to extort people, even lawmakers, to their own ends—and let's be clear, that's exactly what House Republicans' slush fund bill would empower Trump and Elon to do. I will vote NO.

Good morning. I am a firm 100% NO on House Republicans' slush fund CR. I will NOT vote to let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers with your taxpayer dollars. Senators were not elected to beg Trump for federal resources.

What Republicans are pushing here is not a continuing resolution. In this case, C-R stands for Complete Resignation. Republicans are ceding more discretion to two billionaires to decide what does and does not, get funded in their states. It is a power grab CR. I will vote NO.

Remember: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If they refuse to put forward an offer that includes any Democratic input and they don’t get Democratic votes—that’s on Republicans. Americans rightly understand REPUBLICANS have pushed toward a shutdown.

Democrats didn’t write this bill, but if we did—we would have protected public schools. We'd put veterans first. We would have protected our public lands, your health care, and lifesaving cancer research, for god’s sake! I am voting NO on cloture, final passage—all of it.

A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country. Musk has said he wants a shutdown, and reporting has shown he is already making plans to use the shutdown to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services.

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.

I will just put this out there. If all the senators who are saying they want to block this bill really wanted to badly enough they could force Schumer's hand. This isn't 'if Mike Pence has courage'. A leader doesn't buck the overwhelming majority of his caucus. Doesn't happen.

if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?

At some point, even the rich dudes who elected Donald Trump have to admit he's intentionally crashing the economy. Then they have to decide if they're in the business business or the fascism business.

“Mo” is by FAR one of the best shows Netflix has ever streamed. Funny, heartwarming, truthful, and painful.
