Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

All caught up, now?! 🤚 Hope so. 😎✨

Have you ever heard the line you go out fighting not you go out hiding? Well fucking done @ossoff.bsky.social

Senate Democrats: time for a new leader. No later than fucking tomorrow. I don’t care how many headlines there are that say Democrats are in disarray. Get it done.

Rep. Mike Levin: I had the opportunity to have a hearing with the head of the Army Corps of Engineers. They were the ones who let two billion gallons of water flow down to a dry lake bed, where much of it simply evaporated. It never made its way to LA…

ENOUGH OF THE GAMES

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?

Grow a spine, Chuck.

Who could possibly benefit from the Unites States being currently sabotaged by two insane buffoons?

Same. WTF. I hope all Dem senators vote NO. Chuck Schumer is bringing paper and pencils to a freaking war. FIGHT.

BREAKING: MSPB member Cathy Harris (who trump tried to fire) GRANTED the stay requested by Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger (who Trump tried to fire) REINSTATING 5000 USDA employees (who Trump tried to fire.) osc.gov/News/Pages/P...

They have installed the wealthiest man in the world to dismantle the country for himself and his fellow oligarchs. They plan to burn the country down to pay rock-bottom prices for the ashes. A fire sale. jesspiper.substack.com/p/i-know-exa...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

538 tracking poll has Trump with a net negative for the first time since election. Note stronger movement in the disapproval (folks who voted for Trump but not fascism) and a steady decline in approvals.

DOD's deputy press secretary is an overt internet troll with a long history of bigoted, xenophobic, and deliberately provocative shitposting.

This is a deep red district

Facts 👇👇👇

Here’s my list of how to win back working class voters: Makes sure working class voters know which party butters their bread and which party closed their rural hospitals and turned their rural communities into ghost towns. That’s it. That’s the plan

Mike Johnson, a Kremlin spokesperson, had this to say today.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Outstanding ‼️

This fucking guy

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours: "We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests."

Crockett; When we wanted to subpoena Elon, Republicans shut it down Witt: Are they afraid to go up against Trump and Musk? Crockett: I don’t know if they’re afraid, I just think they’re wusses

Found on threads:

The realignment of the U.S. Republican Party with the Kremlin ... and I mean fully and openly ... is stunning to watch in real time.

Russian hackers infiltrate our system *every* day. They are constantly looking for persistence (long term access) in our critical infrastructure. If Hegseth thinks that they’re going to stop just because we do, he’s even more out of his depth than I thought.

Yep. This.

Not to mention, when we sent weapons to Ukraine, we made more here in the US to replenish our stockpiles. Arming Ukraine *supported* the industrialization of America. Biden's jobs record speaks for itself.

What does Putin have on Trump?!?

NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.

From a month ago and today.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Not surprisingly, the Trump and GOP budget has nothing about no tax on tips, nothing on no tax on overtime, and nothing on no tax on social security. It does have a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires however.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
