Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally. “Yeah, I don’t get cute with this shit.”

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.

Schumer wants you to believe both that he can’t do things when he has the majority because of the filibuster and that he can’t stop things when he is in the minority despite the filibuster. Stop trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

This is literally how Trump won both times

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Can you imagine 8 Republicans breaking ranks and voting for a Democratic CR with no seat at the negotiating table? Think about that.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

admittedly very funny for democrats to spend weeks saying “if only there was something we could do?!” and then immediately folding when confronted with the one thing they could do lol

Voters respect strength. They respect conviction. They respect having a backbone. You know what they don't respect? Weakness. Fear. Avoidance.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Standing up for Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security only to be stabbed in the back by ten of your colleagues. What kind of party is this? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

You cannot claim that what Trump and DOGE are doing is illegal and then support keeping the government open without serious guardrails. What are Fetterman, Warner, and Shaheen doing? punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Resign then, coward. Wouldn't be the first time you've back tracked on your "values"

Has there been any discernable change since Ken Martin took over? Seems like the same tired stuff that hasn't worked in 15 years bsky.app/profile/chri...
