Time for Senate Dems to put up or shut up. Schumer's gotta go or our donation dollars do.

@ezralevin.bsky.social, @indivisible.org must call all @democrats.senate.gov to fire Schumer as leader immediately. Rally everyone to gather at local & DC Senate offices ASAP to drive the point home. You have a lot of pissed federal employees who still have 48 more hours of free time who’ll show.

Ask your senators: “Will you vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader?” We only need 23 Democratic or Independent senators. Let’s start counting. reps.fyi

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Any senate Democrat who supports keeping Schumer as leader should not get your vote. That needs to be the line you have to draw. Sorry, I realize that might seem hard; so is not being able to fucking afford healthcare.

Hey @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov: either you immediately call for Schumer’s removal from leadership, or you were in on it.

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

You can even send a free fax to your Senators to tell them to HOLD THE LINE.

Keep up the pressure folks. The folders are getting screamed at and realizing there won't be a shred of cover.

I know everyone is still holding out hope that Axios is wrong but there have been so many other reports from a variety of sources now. Nothing is done yet, but it seems like the Dems are preparing to fold for peanuts.

It's a total collapse by Democrats. - Extending the House CR until Jan. 30 - They would include that w 3 appropriations bills (Vets-MilCon, Ag, Leg Branch) - The key cloture vote (the one with the 60-vote threshold that needs Democrats) tonight

Even the corporatist Hill reporters are gobsmacked by how complete @schumer.senate.gov's collapse is: "And this does absolutely zero on Obamacare. The most Democrats get is a Senate vote. After 40 days."

calling your senator and telling them you're pissed at the possibility of caving for nothing is never a bad thing though.

This deal is a surrender. Two parties who say they care about high costs but none who will fight to deliver on it. Democrats fighting for affordable health care this past month was a huge boon to the brand and paid off in elections. If they reverse course now it will vanish—and they’ll deserve it.

Hey @murray.senate.gov & @cantwell.senate.gov, we know the caucus is behind Schumer and Schumer’s behind the surrender. We know you keep Chuck in place because he does what the caucus wants. We won’t be fooled by any fake “no” votes it if it passes with @democrats.senate.gov votes. Expect primaries.

The one time I got a human at the US Capitol Switchboard just now, I asked to be connected to Cantwell and she connected me to Schumer instead, lol. They hate that dude, too. But the caucus is behind Schumer and Schumer is behind the surrender. Again. Blow them ALL up and yell at ALL of them. Now.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Note: while the vote to give Trump everything will only have a minority of the Senate Ds voting for it, the ENTIRE caucus is aligned. You can tell because there is no opposition to Schumer's leadership.

ICE agent in Chicago draws and trains a firearm on protestors armed with iPhones. Trump's America in 2025.

so they're going to start arresting Catholic Bishops for praying?

I commend @governorferguson.bsky.social for being ready to pounce and getting SNAP benefits out to WA recipients while the Trump Admin briefly floundered last night! Now: Where the hell is our gerrymander??

Ah. I see.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

The difference between France in 1793 and the United States in 2025? Marie Antoinette was *indifferent* to people starving. But Donald Trump is using every trick at his disposal to *make sure* they do.

Just watched The Dead Don't Die. It was terrible.

You can tell how much money is tied up in chatbots because it's getting the kind of fearful leeway even as it demonstrably causes the deaths of children that we normally only allow for guns

Wow: California’s turnout rate was higher for Tuesday’s redistricting referendum than for the 2022 midterms

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

What do you think an ICE agent does after a full workday of snatching parents away from their children? Maybe they unwind by plucking the wings off of bats, or leaving out bowls of antifreeze for pets, before gooning to a simultaneous play of Hotel Rwanda and Come and See, muttering "I'm a good guy"

If Democrats somehow win back Congress and the presidency with majorities willing to pass wholesale reforms and rein in the Supreme Court, enacting proportional representation needs to be near the top of the agenda

In his own words to US generals, Trump said “that’s a war too”. He can argue what he likes in court, but he’s told commanders: this is a war on US cities. The facts don’t even need to speak for themselves; POTUS owns this characterization! He’s levying war on the United States. It’s treason.

Those internal primary polls must not have been looking good.

Hope is a fuel. Use it to burn down something terrible.

Trump's insane FY2026 budget proposed slashing Goddard's work force by 42%. Congress ignored that on a bipartisan basis. Russ Vought is blatantly, illegally moving forward with the plan anyway.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Incredible thread of incredible threads. Big wins for @democrats.org tonight. Even in Mississippi. Keep showing up, keep fighting, HOLD THE LINE, and toss the fascists out!

Heck yes. There is so much good news tonight out there for people who persevere and refuse to back down on their values. Feeding children is a good thing. We should do that.

Rachel Maddow: “Donald Trump has never been more unpopular than he is right now. His disapproval rating is higher than it was in the immediate aftermath of January 6th. 63% disapprove, only 37% approve of Trump. He is 26 points underwater. That’s astonishing”

Hear that, @democrats.senate.gov? You’re winning. So STOP TRYING TO SURRENDER!

You might think asking your Republican House member for a meeting isn’t worth it. You never know unless you ask!

Call your Democratic senators right now. They are plotting a surrender right now.

If the Senate Dems don't realize the kind of upper hand they have against Trump in this moment - and if they let a chunk of their caucus (8 Dems) fold after get a "a promised vote" from the Republicans - not sure what else is there to say.

Oh look, pundits and popularists wrong again: "Protecting democracy and constitutional rights is a top issue to voters, alongside costs...a majority of voters believe he’s done more to undermine the Constitution than defend it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Congrats to everyone who put Republicans in charge "for the economy," the first three quarters of 2025 already had more layoffs than any of the years in which Biden or Obama was President except 2009 (when Dems were still cleaning up the prior Republican mess). www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Questioning these losers’ Christianity to their faces is EXTREMELY effective. Watch what happens when you tell them you’ll pray for God to change their hearts.

this is the in the most conservative neighborhood in chicago

The perception that she can work with the FedSoc Six, and the legitimacy her acquiescence grants them. All Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson have now is their voice. They are speaking to the future, not the present. So speak loudly, and make sure your words are heard.

Did Clarence Thomas ever agonize about whether or not to speak his mind, even when in the minority? I think not. Justice Kagan is, frankly, kidding herself if she thinks she has any meaningful effect on this court other than at the very extreme margins. And that influence comes at a HUGE cost:
