Pelosi on Schumer: "Well, I'm concerned about the next time... I myself don’t give away anything for nothing, and I think that's what happened the other day... They may not have agreed to [a four-week CR], but at least the public would have seen they’re not agreeing to it."

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.

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.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Trump is now using Jews as human shields to justify his defunding of universities & deportation of people whose views he doesn’t like. All while he fosters antisemitism in his Administration— including trying to elect a Nazi-aligned party in Germany. Trump is making Jews less safe. Hard no.

Deporting lawful residents based not on a crime but rather their views is dangerous. I intensely disagree with a # of Khalil’s views, but deporting people based on their views sets in motion an authoritarian train wreck. This won’t end with Khalil & cheerleading his detention is playing with fire.

Same in California. The renters tax credit is only $60 ($120 for a couple), hasn't changed in decades, and is also restricted to low income taxpayers. Meanwhile, most tax savings from the mortgage interest deductions go to the richest homeowners.

Trans people are facing extreme danger at this moment in time — with a President & a political movement dedicated to eliminating them from public life. Now is the time for Democrats to stand firmly with trans people. The Governor’s remarks to Charlie Kirk do not meet that standard. My statement:

Doing shit like meeting with Charlie Kirk and engaging his ideas on merit isn't just selling out people who fall into numerous intersectional marginalizations as well as constituents and potential supporters to whom other humans actually matter, it's throwing them under the bus for nothing.

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.
