Deporting her is pure evil.

Merkley: "The best time to take on a tyrant is as early as possible. And this is the moment."

Schumer’s cowardly decision is just another example of how the Democratic Party is neither equipped nor willing to stand up to this tyrannical administration. We can’t rely on them. It’s on us.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

The tweet is a quote tweet of another tweet from General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn), which alleges that Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive large amounts of taxpayer money and claims that religion is being used as a money laundering operation. Below Flynn's tweet, there is an image of a spreadsheet containing financial data related to these transactions. The Twitter interface shows engagement metrics, including 4K comments, 12K retweets, 55K likes, and 5.3 million views. A "Rate proposed Community Notes" button is also visible.
