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”

Regardless of the era, there have ALWAYS been fools like Neville Chamberlain, @kaine.senate.gov, @hassan.senate.gov, @senangusking.bsky.social, @durbin.senate.gov, @shaheen.senate.gov, and @fetterman.senate.gov who lack the intestinal fortitude to stand up to bullies, psychopaths, and dictators.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.

Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.

Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.

Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.

But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

It’s okay. He has a concept of a plan.

This is one of the many reasons why most businesses don't allow a convicted felon to work the register.

Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

The art of folding a winning hand

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

81% of the Democratic base in a poll last week said Congress should “refuse to approve a budget unless it includes extending these tax credits, even if it means the government remains shut down.” But even 81% of the Dem base is not enough to get all Senate Democrats on board. #Pathetic

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie]

SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

US Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121 to express your views on this to your home state Senator.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

My statement on the spending legislation and Republican healthcare crisis.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

We have had enough winning.

by Senate Democrats

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.

Democrats snuffed out all the hope the voters expressed last Tuesday in less than a week.

Why TF should Americans voters stand up for @democrats.senate.gov when Senate Democrats won’t stand up for Americans? #weakness #gutless #useless

THAT, more than anything else, is the lesson of the Mamdani win.

We keep ignoring that NYC has public funding of primary elections, which is what allowed Zohran to have the money to compete.

THAT’S what leveled the playing field with Cuomo and everyone else.

We don’t have that in federal races

After the hope I felt after Tuesday's election, tonight feels like the air is being let out of the balloon.

DEMOCRATS

🏳️ {waving white flag}

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

These are the Senators that caved on the budget without getting any compromise on healthcare!

From God's lips to your ears.

It's the 1st step in culling the "useless eaters" from society. Hitler did it to everyone, not just Jews. The 4th Reich is here and is slowly turning up the heat on the people in the soup pot, the non oligarchy class.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:

Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

New WTF just dropped.
