Democrats in the Senate need to understand: We have to see you fight. We have to see you willing to take a risk. Yes, it's fucked if the government shuts down. But it's fucked if it stays open with no way to restrict the bullshit being done. You need to inspire us in the base, so fight, goddamnit.

I completely understand Schumer wanting to avoid a shutdown - they’re destructive, and they harm a lot of folks who don’t deserve it. What I don’t understand is Schumer saying that Dems were unified in opposition only to change his mind a day later. He looks like a jackass.

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.

To all of surprised MAGA people saying, “We didn’t vote for Elon Musk,” I just want to say, “Yeah, you really fucking did, and it was clear that you were doing that long before November 5th. Stop worshiping the 1%. They hate you.”

To all @democrats.senate.gov, the answer is NO on the CR. Got it, Chuck Schumer and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @chuckschumer.com? This CR gives Trump too much power. Way too much. www.epi.org/policywatch/...

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Reported that if TESLA stock goes to 114, a margin call happens, which would be an automatic charge to his checking account. Or he'd have to sell assets. Latest TESLA close was 248. When recently asked how he's running his companies, he responded glumly, "with great difficulty."

We'd say that unelected billionaire Elon Musk should stick to making rockets... But he sucks at that, too. The fallout from the Muskification of America will be felt for years. #ProTip: NEVER TRUST BILLIONAIRES.

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

Trump is hoodwinking folks into thinking DEI is the safety risk, but he’s the one making us less safe! We don’t know exactly who’s to blame for the crash, but Trump & Musk set the stage for danger ahead. Trump knew it would look bad—he appointed an FAA Administrator hours AFTER the crash!

It seems that thanks to public pressure, the Trump Admin just backpedaled. This was a mess that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I’m still hearing how hard this has been on Minnesota vets and their families. And a lot is still unclear. This chaos was totally avoidable.
