There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

@cortezmasto.senate.gov and @rosen.senate.gov Don’t you dare give up the fight for nothing.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Don’t you dare!

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

THIS!!

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

My daughter’s 9th birthday, how I found my on-ramp, a horrible thing Lindsey Graham said and an inspiring thing Dr. Seuss said.

Mike Don’t Know

2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Me too. The rest of his actions make me feel a lot of things but this one is just sadness.

Washington Post: White House begins destroying East wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Another week in Washington and Republicans are still on recess, boycotting negotiations - while the government is shut down. Now, Trump is moving money around to pay only the employees he favors - another sign that he wants the government shut down so he can act like a king.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Horrifying.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
