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.

So many Americans are in a constant state of uncertainty and anxiety right now. Respectfully, I don't know if we'd classify the events of the last few months as 'exciting'.

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.

Trump Warned U.S. Automakers Not to Raise Prices in Response to Tariffs The threat came in a call earlier this month,Β leaving CEOs worried they would face punishment if prices go up.

Remember when the Republican Party was all about NOT having the government interfere in the pricing decisions of private corporations? We do. www.wsj.com/business/aut...

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

If they are so horrible, why is the Dems plan to pass that CR? We need to fight against the corruption, not co-sign it. Now is not the time to obey in advance. It is the time to fight. #rejecttheCR

If they weren't already doing that, I'd agree with you.

For the love of all that is holy, could you people grow a spine? Why is capitulation the only language Democrats understand? Can we get Nany Pelosi out of retirement? She'd know how to handle this mess we're in.

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.

House Censures Al Green for Heckling Trump During Speech to Congress Ten members of his party joined Republicans in voting to officially condemn the Texas Democrat after he was ejected from the president’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday. Mr. Green voted β€œpresent....

I wish elected Dems would apply that energy of eating their own to fighting authoritarianism and ensuring Americans don't lose their shirts with these whackadoo economic policies. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

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.

Exactly. I live in a major midwestern city where these kinds of meetings can get lost in the shuffle of all the stuff going on. But dadgumit if there has been anything other than crickets from the DNC or elected reps.

So I saw the text (not the photo) right after I saw Tim Walz' post about Minnesotans staying safe during the snowstorm and I was soooo confused. I am only slightly less confused after reading your post in full.

The last several years, when we signed up for cable TV, I specifically ordered the more expensive package so I could watch @msnbc.com . I am glad to get a better idea of their politics so we can save more money on our cable TV package. #representationmatters
