Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards β and folded for no reason.

BREAKING NEWS: In a stunning act of betrayal to Black America, the National Baptist Convention, USA has accepted a $300,000 donation from @target. The leadership of this Black Baptist church denomination made no effort to talk with, consult, or reach out to the leaders of the Target boycott.

In my experience, it's not that they don't care. It's that the stakes aren't as high for them so they aren't compelled to put their necks on the line like others might be. That's not an indictment, just an observation.

I would love for the State of the Union if y'all could coordinate a walk out. One person walks out at each lie told until the only ones left are the "democrats" who voted to censure Al Green and John Fetterman. They've already proven they aren't interested in anything but keeping their jobs.

That's what is so frustrating. He would have been censured anyway given the balance in votes. Why make it clear that you're not going to support resistance on behalf of your voters? To me, it just seems like a really good way to get un-elected at the next vote.

I may be too late to the party, but what is up with some Dems voting to censure Al Green? I wish they would have applied that energy of eating their own to fighting the authoritarian and proto-fascist policies coming out of DC.
