‘Schumer is no longer effective’: Dems outraged over shutdown deal Congressional Democrats are furious after eight colleagues voted with Republicans.

Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

Unconscionable: US plan to destroy $9.7 million of contraceptives MSF condemns the decision to destroy these critical medical supplies, which will have devastating consequences for the communities where we work.

The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

These are the times that try men’s souls.

It's Time for Democrats to Accept The Failure of Establishment Politics

If Democrats continue a top-down centrism that promises restoration while being beholden to billionaires & corporate donors, they'll continue losing elections & voters. Here's a better path.

❗️SHAME❗️Avelo Airlines signed a contract to run deportation flights for the Trump regime. Human rights & laws be damned, the Avelo CEO wants the 💰 from ICE flights.

This is apparently the best the official DOD “rapid response” account can do in response to the Houthi PC Small Group story.

Can you IMAGINE if Kamala Harris did something like this. Don't EVER say a WORD about DEI. So far we see a bunch of white male clowns making a mistake so egregious as likely to warrant a criminal investigation in a normal world. Imagine a lowly military grunt doing this.

"We shared top secret information with not just any journalist, but with an *untrustworthy* one" isn't the clever deflection Pete Hegseth thinks it is.

Don't tell me that was the *only* time current members of the Department of Defense discussed top secret information on a public app.

Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent, remembers a time when the United States was run by competent people and wasn't so easy to snoop on.

Multiple senior GOP sources in both chambers on the Hill and within the Trump administration were quick to blab to Rolling Stone about how thrilled they were at Schumer’s willingness to cave.

At this point, I think there needs to be a boycott of donations to all Senate Democrats until they force Chuck Schumer to step down as leader. Enough is enough.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Instead of Republicans taking jobs and programs away, they need to be investigating this—but OH RIGHT—they report to King Musk.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.

Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”

What?!

Trump and Musk "accidentally" fired government officials who were working to contain the bird flu—now they're scrambling to rehire them.

A complete and total shitshow.

Just a quick reminder
Everything these idiots are doing is illegal
The courts will catch up & they will be stopped

Question is
Why didn't democratic congressmen attend every rally in each of their respective states yesterday. Why didn't they promote those rallies.

Did Nazi that coming.

The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info.

And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.
