Find your balls, spine, guts and brain, before it's too late.
We will NOT forget this betrayal. Stop listening to the craven political consultants. What the fuck did you think we were telling you last Tuesday?

Betrayed again. For the first time in a year I was feeling like we had a fighting chance to protect our healthcare. Schumer get out and take your 8 traitors with you. You have no stomach for this fight and we need a leader. And I won’t send another penny to the democrats—they don’t care about us.

I would happily see you run for Minority Leader if you choose to keep fighting. But first Schumer and Durbin have to go.

I think the only thing that will save our party is new leadership right now.

I've been a Democrat for 65 years. I'm 73 and was 8 when I met JFK. Think of what I've seen & been involved in, as a party volunteer, committeeperson, ward chair, candidate & other roles.
You're about the only Dem officeholder I trust anymore. Please hear me: Schumer has to go, now. Voters demand it

You have to lead to change leadership. It may be hard but it’s time to stand. You’ll have huge public support which will turn Dem Senators who may not support you initially.

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.

A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Looks like the strategy worked! A federal appeals court late Sunday rejected yet another attempt by the Trump administration to block full federal funding for food stamps. The decision may not take effect until late Tuesday, following guidance previously issued by the Supreme Court.

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’ Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is

I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy.

Anyone wanna explain that?

Trading American's access to healthcare for a pat on the head & a pinky promise isn't "taking action to protect healthcare for tens of millions of Americans" no matter how much these 8 senators shout these empty words.

Just to clarify, Mr or Ms 'expert', I presume what you REALLY meant was the OMB, otherwise known as the Office of Management and Budget.
If not, please explain what you think the OBM is.

SCOTUS declined to hear the challenge meant to overturn Obergefell. Which means marriage equality stays. Heritage Foundation and other Christian nationalists were counting on this case to roll back rights. Welp…Not today!

Supreme Court declines to revisit gay marriage decision The challenge to the court's 2015 ruling came from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue same-sex licenses after the court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
