and where did that money go? certainly not to veterans' health care, SNAP, school lunches, national parks, or anything that anyone actually cares about.

Call Schumer - tell him to do his job as leader, remove committee and leadership positions of the 8 and get at least 1 to vote no on the next two votes that require 60. Call the 8 flood their phones and demand the next 60 vote is no. We can still stop this stupidity.

Call any or all of the 8 - there are 2 more sets of votes that require 60 votes. I called Kaine, he is the most flexible (and least republican lite) and I messaged Schumer to do his job as leader and wrangle at least 1 of the 8 back to a no. We can turn this around if we act now and loudly.

NEVER in my lifetime would I believe that I had more in common with Rand Paul than a senator who was elected as a democrat, but here we are. So tired of centrist cowards and fetterman, who is all but republican and an a-hole.

@democrats.senate.gov - I promise to help ensure any of you who votes yes will get primaried. America needs senators who will fight for them, not cowards who give in to MAGA senators.

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov PLEASE do NOT give in to the republicans. Stand strong and hold for health care tax subsidies. Republicans won't negotiate after you give in and the election results gave democrats a mandate to fight.

AOC spilled the tea; it is just revenge for being told not to run for Senator. Politicians could learn a lot from AOC's communication style; she knows how to talk to the 16-28s.

Shout out to blue voters in red states who did amazing things too - like rejecting JD Vance's brother for mayor of Cincinnati; breaking the GOP supermajorities in MISS & Iowa; retaining the liberal supreme court in PA, & smaller local races in PA school boards, & GA public service commission.

cruelty, inhumanity, fascism aside; the children who are traumatized watching their families and beloved teachers being kidnapped by masked armed men may grow up to be very angry, very traumatized teens and young adults and how they will cope with that may be through violence.

ICE just kidnapped a toddler, basically at gun point. Family values party my ass.

so where is your money going? Green Party - they have no candidates and would have no power to change anything? Republicans - cause they are doing sh*t for America? Nobody - apathy and failure to participate is being complicit. Why not send it to democratic candidates who you like.

I can tell you that No Child Left Behind and the "accountability" push for education that forced schools to focus only on math and reading, has killed science and civics/government in a lot of schools - so students have no foundation. I have college students who can't name a supreme court justice.

or just maybe you can consider that their lives and story are a welcome break from the horrors of reality for 5 minutes and let other people enjoy a little celebrity news before going back out to fight for democracy and justice.

why would anyone tell you that? Politics impacts every aspect of your life, of course you have the right (I think it is a civic duty) to voice your opinion.

I don't think they can't not be tone deaf because then they would have empathy, critical thinking skills, compassion.... they would be woke and we would not be in this mess.

San Jose CA - my sign was not as witty as so many I saw today. But this man's sign both broke me and inspired me today.

Maine you have a choice - support fascism or support democracy. Choose wisely please, the rest of America is counting on you.

I really hope my friends and acquaintances who "are not political" wake the F*uck up before it is too late. This is great primer and hopefully helps those who think all of this is "just politics".
