WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

This was DER SPIEGEL’s cover on August 19, 2017. Feels like it has aged relatively well…

Just because they lifted the airspace closure at El Paso does not mean that nothing is going on. They just realized that declaring the closure was bad OPSEC. Shit is likely still going to happen. In Mexico.

@repvindman.bsky.social VOTE NO!!

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Are you paying attention? MAGA Republicans are stealing from you! The vote to reopen the government includes a multi-million dollar payoff a QUID PRO QUO to 8 senator conspirators who colluded with Trump during the January 6th insurrection.

“When we enlisted in the military, we were proud to serve our country. We never imagined that, after our service, we would have to fight for our own healthcare.” @tennesseelookout.com

Today is Veterans Day. I just watched several movies about WWII and was reminded that our nation (and much of the world) was then united against fascism. As a veteran myself, I am proud of my predecessors who stood against fascists. Thanks to my fellow veterans who served and continue to serve!

@repvindman.bsky.social Sir, As one of your constituents in VA’s 7th district, I am requesting two things of you: 1-Do NOT support the current Republican funding bill which will end ACA tax credits; and 2-Exert all possible pressure for the Speaker to swear in Adelita Grijalva immediately. V/R

My good-for-nothing Senator, @kaine.senate.gov, voted to pass the budget. That's giving a Green Light to #EmperorOrangeJulius to continue murdering ppl through stripping healthcare, kidnapping & beating them, disappearing them, taking away Civil Rights, etc. Lost my vote. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

The American people's 'approval' of Trump. #USDemocracy

@schumer.senate.gov We need to hold the line and DO NOT CAVE to Republicans on the shutdown! Continue to stand up up for SNAP and ACA, and convince fellow Democrats—ie Sen Tim Kaine et al—to stand with us!

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

@booker.senate.gov We need to hold the line and DO NOT CAVE to Republicans on the shutdown! Continue to stand up up for SNAP and ACA, and convince fellow Democrats—ie Sen Tim Kaine et al—to stand with us!

@markwarner.bsky.social As a constituent, a government contractor, and a veteran, I IMPLORE you to hold the line and DO NOT CAVE to Republicans on the shutdown!! And please reach out to Sen Tim Kaine and convince him that he needs to reverse course and hold with fellow Democrats on this!!

Dems. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

8 DEMOCRATIC QUISLINGS CAVE. EXPEL THEM - AND SCHUMER @durbin.senate.gov @anguskingiii.bsky.social @cortezmasto.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov Fetterman Rosen Cowards Fakes Frauds Enablers Folders Fools THE NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST IS LIVE: tinyurl.com/4kyehbm2

As I've always said, I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

Establishment Democrats have to go, even just for us to see what happens when we have real leadership That’s not working against the American people and with the obstructionist Republican side. Those who broke rank and voted with Republicans to end the Trump shut down have got to go expeditiously.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

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.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

@kaine.senate.gov As one of your constituents, a veteran, and a government contractor, I’m appalled that you have apparently capitulated to the Republicans without any meaningful gains re. SNAP and ACA. This is a slap in the face to those who have endured the shutdown hoping for positive changes.

Gayle King Katy Perry Be more like @realdollyparton.bsky.social Dolly Parton didn't spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children.

Jack, how agrees the devil and thee about thy soul that thou soldest him on Good Friday last, for a cup of Madeira and a cold capon’s leg?

Dear @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STOP telling America we are in a Constituional crisis (which we are) but ACTING like it’s politics as usual. IF IT’S A GDMF CRISIS, ACT LIKE IT! We don’t want to see more speeches & interviews. We want to see open rebellion from YOU!!

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.
