@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Illinois Governor JB Pritzker delivered a speech last night in New Hampshire that I just think you need to hear a lot of… Because there is not a moment in this speech where he holds back.”

"This is a pattern. If one law firm capitulates, Trump goes after more. If one university, tech billionaire, media company capitulates, he goes after more. If we don't fight him now, when he’s only gone after one legal resident, then we can't act surprised when he ultimately goes after Americans."

Remove Pete Hegseth now.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Did you see the video of the elderly man who went to his Capitol to testify against trans kids but he ended up sitting in the overflow room and listened to two hours of testimony and completely changed his mind on trans kids? Some of them are still reachable.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

They act like they don't work for us. But they do. And we're going to make them remember.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House. Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Gillibrand Hassan King Peters Schatz Schumer Shaheen

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.

Chuck Schumer should have been replaced 8 years ago. One of the main reasons for the rise of American fascism is the cowardice from appeasement ‘centrists.’

They literally just told everyone in the dept of education to not come to work!!! They are already doing this!!!

I swear to god I will move back to New York just to primary Schumer if no one else steps up

Chuck Schumer is totally out of step with the vast majority of Senate Democrats. If he can’t lead, he should step aside for someone who will.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

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.

Governor Hochul, want a lifeline to make up the dumbest political malpractice in life? Get Schumer to resign and appoint AOC.

Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.

everyone agrees that trump would get even more power via the funding bill, but if the govt shuts down he'd get even more power anyway. so if it were me i would vote against giving him power and him taking it, which makes him the bad guy, as opposed to just giving him power, which makes me pathetic

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.

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

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

If this doesn’t anger you, I don’t know what will.

@schumer.senate.gov I was at a democratic town hall tonight. They were ALL so disappointed about how you’ve betrayed them! Musk and Trump have already shut down the government! One woman said you are the wrong man for this time

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!
