#HandsOFF Boston

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

@booker.senate.gov Why do you and all the other Senate Democrats continue to provide unanimous consent to nominees? Matthew Whittaker is a joke!!!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Wishing all my trans friends a life filled with the love, respect, acknowledgment, and support you deserve ❤️

Called his office to complain about this and was told that “because there were 60 votes, UC was reached.” I think that’s what we in the business call lying to your constituents.

Democrats, who are rightly being urged to fight, could grind all Senate proceedings to a halt until Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz resign. That's should be the ask, not hearings, though hearings are what they might end up with

If you don’t like this, u should tell partners at Paul Weiss what you think of it. Oh, look at that, their email addresses are right there on their website: www.paulweiss.com/professional...

Is he, by chance, a drag queen ??? minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/18/g....

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social, @ezralevin.bsky.social Why are the D senators not putting blanket holds on administration nominess? Why did they provide unanimous consent to the CR vote? These are 2 examples of something any 1 senator could do to resist.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

Glad Senate Democrats spent years not doing things to preserve the filibuster only to decide the savvy move is to not use it and give Republicans exactly what they want

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

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.

Reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, AND the House. If the government shuts down, it’s on them.
