Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

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.

Please join me.

Exactly this.

While I have plenty of ire for Trump and his administration, it's nonsense like this - obvious BS that barely requires a rudimentary capacity for critical thinking - that makes me furious toward so many of my fellow citizens.

This stuff falls into the "no brainer" category.

You're 100% correct, but also the OP is calling out the disparity not the reason behind it.

i.e. you're both right and the OP isn't necessarily missing anything.

Tedious to point this out, but:

- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.

-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

Trump is now being ratio’ed on his own website for telling his supporters to stop caring about the Epstein files.

Is Superman woke? Always has been.

Oooh and Klaus is in it too!

An observation I've made over the years - if a story makes me care about the characters, I will let A LOT slide in other aspects of the storytelling.

Conversely, if I don't care about the characters, everything else can be flawless and it won't matter.

Imagine. If. Biden. Said. This.

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Voters have a greater direct impact on mid-term elections, even at the federal level. It's an important thing to keep in mind – if all these evil little homunculi who voted for you to lose your healthcare are replaced, there's a chance the BBB can be overturned or mitigated.

SOUTHWEST AZ‼️‼️We can make history electing the first GenZ woman to Congress with DEJA FOXX in AZ-7 @Deja_Foxx

She has surged 25 POINTS in the last month and is now within 8 POINTS OF WINNING. Help us TURNOUT before her election on July 15

Facts are bad for business.

Capitalism ruins everything. Everything.

I know Trump's senility is a feature and Biden's was a bug, but WOW this should be a bigger news story. He has the question REPEATED for him and he doesn't understand it.

Schumer and Jeffries should condemn this and demand an apology from the President - or they should resign, or be primaried.

For 6 months, Dem leaders have downplayed or refused to frontally address many of Trump's worst abuses by saying those are "distractions" from the Dems focusing on economic issues. But as Trump's tax bill is being voted on, Jeffries is attacking a Dem ...over a phrase that Dem doesn't even use.

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

Some serious real talk and truth bombs in here. Good things to reflect on.

This is the energy everyone should have for ICE and everyone enabling them.

Abolish ICE.

I blocked him as soon as I learned he was here. He can gloat into the void.
