lololol - Zohran getting him to pose in front of FDR is just <chef's kiss> - truly a god-tier level troll

What do you call a leader with no followers? Just a guy taking a walk. He's not just a senator. He's the *leader*. His job isn't his personal vote. His job is to unify and lead his caucus against the regime.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

"What if, hear me out, we aligned with & helped pass the agenda of the people voters just rejected Tuesday and sports fans are booing?"

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate. Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

Fighting back against Trump’s regime is the only thing that has improved Democrats’ approval rating. We cannot afford another “Schumer Surrender.” Tell your Democratic senators to continue holding the line to keep healthcare costs down and protect coverage for millions of Americans. 👇

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

#NoKingsNEPA, y’all. 🥹 Pics here from Sunbury, Tunkhannock, Stroudsburg, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Bloomsburg, and Williamsport! ❌👑 @indivisible.org

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

I need to watch this every morning for like a half an hour straight to set the right tone for tackling these hellscape days.

It's very obvious that the NYT has put people in editorial positions who view it as part of their job to upset the left. This is, in the bizarro, insular world of US elites, seen as a way to restore balance & regain the trust of the right. Putting aside the merits of the larger effort ...

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

The budget bill contains tens of billions to fund an army of 10,000 more ICE agents. This is a red alert moment for our democracy.

No one “gets over” losing access to care. Figuring out where their mom or dad goes if they can’t stay at their nursing home. Struggling to pay for their child’s life saving medicine. Deciding which is more important-making a doctor’s appointment or feeding their family. Medicaid saves lives.

Yessssssss

Or—and I know this sounds crazy—we could have just not thrown away the Iran nuclear deal.

The same guy who tells us LA is on fire is at the Kennedy Center watching Les Miserables, and if that isn't ironic, I don’t know what is.

Good morning Just a reminder

This will kill people

It’s on record.

It’s Tuesday! Grab some coffee!

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair. Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

🔥 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “I don’t work for you, sir.”

Minutes apart 👀

So stop doing Nazi shit, bro. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Every single NEPA Rep voted for this bill that will take healthcare away from thousands of their constituents. They campaigned on egg prices & voted to make it harder to afford groceries. But it’s cool, bc billionaires will get a tax cut to buy another private plane. Hold them all accountable.

We’re not letting up! This budget cannot pass with huge cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, so keep calling your reps. #handsoffmedicaid #handsoffsnap

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

elon musk is running an unlicensed pollution factory in a black neighborhood in memphis but sure, this is the real problem

To be clear: Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all. Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal. The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

THIS!
