Xan the plan

I don't see any evidence that they betrayed their donors.

...oh, you meant us...

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

@schumer.senate.gov and the Democrats are officially controlled opposition. The death of the party is the only chance for democracy to survive.

Schumer, burn in hell. Your constant capitulation will be the subject of future classes titled: "pretending to resist fascism."

Get him an AIPAC branded, oil-based dildo and he will probably do it himself.

It’s this simple

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Considering that this is the first time EVER that snap has been disrupted, AND the Republicans have been breaking the law left and right, there isn't anything that is a bridge too far on this.

@schumer.senate.gov deciding to surrender all leverage, the kind of leverage that crosses the aisles, to get a "promise" of an ACA vote means that I need to quit teaching and find a new job now. It isn't even possible for me to keep my insurance as a teacher without the ACA credits.

I agree entirely. US racial justice and relations have been making progress, with starts and stops, for a century. Then, this year, they sprinted backward.
Who knows why.

In the bookshop this morning:

PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.”

CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *

CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

Agreed

Fox News:

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

You know, it is no coincidence that the senate, part of the entity that can undo these tariffs, is out of session because of one pissy republican.

Big Law in America is abandoning
"We the People"
They aren't even challenging the EOs in court
(an easy task - given that it's their job.)
They comply in advance
They prioritize big money over justice
They knowingly choose to support fascism
They certainly do not advocate for "Justice for All"

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

“I’ll be 10 min late sorry!!!”

-ashamed
-fragile
-unreliable

“A thousand apologies. The relentless slog of time has overtaken my faculties.”

-powerful
-commanding
-honest

Dude is scrambling.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

"Temper-tariffs" 🤣

Thou shalt not have a devil as your leader, a men or a woman😇

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside
