“This is not right or left, it is right or wrong. This is not a partisan moment. It is a moral moment. Where do you stand?” - @booker.senate.gov -

In a world of Schumers, be a Booker - New cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social

🤣

Can @booker.senate.gov PLEASE replace @schumer.senate.gov starting TODAY‽ THIS is the 🔥 we need!!

Mr. Booker goes to Washington!!! Whether it accomplishes anything is beside the point. I, for one, am thrilled to see some fight and some heart from the Dems! THANK YOU, @booker.senate.gov !!

Early voting today in Wisconsin

Casar: "Let's stop investigating Cookie Monster and start investigating how the Trump administration lied about this & was trying to funnel money to their biggest political supporter. Maybe you're trying to defund NPR because they expose this type of corruption."

Reporter: No, I wasn’t asking you to describe yourself, GI Joke, I was asking how you FUBARed this so badly.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

DOGE is not efficient at all.

All you need to know about Twitter

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson: "They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

So … questions running round my 🧠 … why are we all just going to pay Federal Income Tax to fund this autocratic government on April 15 like it’s business as usual? What would happen if we ALL just … you know … didn’t? Serious answers will be appreciated. Non-serious ones will be enjoyed.

THIS is the vibe we need!! Thank you @aoc.bsky.social & @sanders.senate.gov !!

And I’m proud of you & ALL my Canadian family! 🍁 🇨🇦 #elbowsup

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

There’s a reason they want to keep their supporters ignorant of the truth. Because when people actually hear the truth & meet the people they’ve been taught to fear their hearts CAN be changed.

Democrats: “Oh no how do we reverse our losses among Latinos” Also Democrats: “We really can’t talk about how Donald Trump is shipping random Latinos to a foreign penal camp without even knowing who they are. Too controversial”

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

😂 If you don’t know my buddy @richsparks.bsky.social & his wackadoodle sensibilities, do yourself a favor and add him to your feed. Any bit of humor during this plague of insanity is good medicine!

Hot Tip for DOGE: Every time there is a school shooting, we're told to rely on thoughts and prayers, but it's not actually preventing future shootings. Sounds pretty inefficient to me. Time to stop giving tax exemptions to churches until they can start delivering results!

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.

Since my phone calls haven’t done much good, I guess I’ll have to tell Chuck to fight or step down in person when I pass him again here on the streets of Brooklyn. His inability to pivot his tactics or evolve in this critical moment show that he is unable to lead an opposition party effectively.

Thank you for speaking your truth, Vivian.

No one ever said they were creative.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

They could have just voted for Harris and given the money to charity and taken the tax deduction 🤷‍♀️

Yes!!! Nothing but respect for her and the Mexican people.

And already … the tipping point.

Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.

Bernie Sanders is packing rallies in red states against fascism and Project 2025 while our weak Democratic congressional leadership whines about its members who didn't show perfect decorum to Trump during his "speech" to Congress. I know which one I think is showing up for this moment in history.

A massive story in Canada is that damn near the entire country is turning on national God Wayne Gretzky because he refuses to stand up for Canadian sovereignty due to his desire to keep getting invites to Mar A Lago. An entire country choosing dignity over star-f*cking. We could take a lesson.

Now THIS is what I’m talking about 🔥 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Happy, Peaceful #caturday from Chilli & Jiminy!

From a Canadian sandwich shop. O, Canada 🇨🇦! We stand on guard for THEE! Keep the righteous snark coming!

At @standupforscience.bsky.social and the signs are statistically significantly excellent

Think I might still be in this stage …
