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.

Just remember, Ukrainians don't have to drive the Russians out. They only have to make it too expensive for them to stay. It's why Trump is making that near impossible. Russia is going broke & their military in tatters. Without Trump, Russia can't smash anything.

To be honest, if you're an American and you're NOT angry about the current situation in America, I'm really not interested in your company, your opinion, or your vote.

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

If a miracle somehow occurs and cloture fails despite Chuck Schumer's capitulation, he's out as minority leader ASAP, yes? I mean, he should be out anyway, but there's no way he can continue to hold that position if his whole caucus tells him to fuck off, right?

It will be tremendously funny if Schumer gets publicly humiliated by an angry groundswell of Dem voters working their individual Senators who all bail on voting for cloture. There is no way he can continue in leadership if this happens, and it should.

Schumer announces he’s caving and will allow the Republican spending bill to pass, ending shutdown fight. He said a shutdown would be much worse than the bill. This should not be a surprise if you’ve been reading my feed or watching Democrats for the past several decades.

The guy who gave me shit yesterday for saying that Schumer and the Dems would cave just blocked me when I asked him how he was feelin’ now. Crazy.

@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.

the guy who got eddie gallagher pardoned appointing eddie gallagher's lawyer to reform the JAGs is a nightmare scenario. gallagher is not a soldier who committed a war crime. he is a serial killer who happened to be a soldier.

Absolute 🔥🔥 from Sarah McBride: "We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”

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

This from @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social is getting me, in the sense of understanding & giving my head a spin. I, too, have always been a "rule-follower" (Cutting in line? How DARE you!) But this is about navigating chaos and the powerful effect it is having on many, if not all of us. Great stuff.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity. He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud. Which of course is fucking crazy.

Just to be clear on the contempt with which this city council views us as a community - Valentina Bankhead is the Proud Boy-adjacent woman I mentioned earlier who came in at the end of the meeting and started disrupting things, and then was given a hug by the mayor.

These are bully lies. Yes, he’s incompetent and cognitively impaired, but trump’s lies are to demonstrate his power. He knows we know he’s lying and he doesn’t care. Gotchas DO NOT WORK ON TRUMP OR HIS FOLLOWERS.

Waiting for the political machine in Portland to move from "don't do anything that might cause Trump to send troops here" to "Trump is going to send troops here, let's get ready." When y'all start having that convo, you'll see me back in the mix.

How many city councilors does it take to fix a street light? More than Portland used to have. East Portland residents see some promise in the new district form of government after decades of being ignored.

Not sure how blame for a government shutdown will fall? If this CR doesn't pass, Donald Trump will immediately FLY TO FLORIDA FOR A WEEKEND OF GOLF. Help me figure that one out, pricey political consultants!

“We don’t have leverage but we have responsibility” is the epitome of Democratic Party brain damage. YOU DON’T HAVE RESPONSIBILITY! NO ONE IS GOING TO REWARD YOU FOR “ACTING RESPONSIBLE” IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DESTRUCTIVE REGIME FULLY CONTROLLED BY YOUR ENEMIES!

TWO GIRLS IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF MAINE! FEWER THAN 10 IN ALL OF THE NCAA! i know true believers can't be swayed, but i think hammering these numbers is important for the average person to understand that republicans are OBSESSSSSSED with such a minuscule group of people and it's fucking weird!

So many people in the Trump administration are young and are gonna be around for decades after Trump dies on a toilet (my prediction). I know the crisis is now, but later it's gonna be super important not to let these psychopaths launder their reputations and return to power.

Correct. The House can come back and pass something more realistic. They’re not gone forever.

In today's newsletter I got so incensed at a Boston Globe column that I emailed the columnist. You'll be shocked to learn that a guy who thinks civil rights are contingent on public opinion polling believes that nothing matters. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

Every single person in the United States who values the First Amendment should be speaking up now, regardless of their views on Israel and Palestine. The illegal detention of Mahmoud Khalil by the Trump administration is an assault on our rights to free speech and assembly. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

People should have learned their lesson by now about proclaiming Trump favorability collapse. Regardless, the more interesting polling to focus on is issue by issue -- actual policies and whether they are popular. And Trump is the ultimate front-runner. When support for a stance shifts, he notices.

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.
