You loser! Why did you schedule a critical vote on tariffs when you knew Senator Whitehouse would be out of the country? We need to stop losing and stop winning. You need to resign!

Donald Trump not imposing *any* tariffs on Russia is all the more revealing as he is levying them on our closest ally, the United Kingdom.

Anything to win Putin's affection.

It doesn’t matter if you call / write your reps. If 10,000 people call, we win. Be one of the 10,000 instead of being useless.

It’s not complex. People can see with their eyes. He’s repellent to voters due to a toxic combination of exhausting amounts of cringe (see cheese head hat), desperate thirstiness (that fatal β€œhey, look at me mommy” vibe) and irritating arrogance (he’s not even from this school)

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Harms to the global and domestic HIV response from the mass firings and the elimination of entire structures within FDA, CDC, HHS, HRSA, NIH will be legion.

Gutting the positions and purging the people needed to drive a government HIV response means--there is no response, a 🧡 >>

The Window For Democrats To Fight Keeps Closing And the missed opportunities of the past loom large.

We got on this path way back in 2018 or so, when Dem leaders started really distancing themselves from the resistance and lowering expectations for accountability. It persisted through the Senate insurrection trial and the Garland appointment. It has been a huge failure.

Yeah, it's not up to them to declare the investigations into their colossal fuckup and the wider lapses in national security are all over.

Don't let this fade away.

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.
