Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

How did he know about this news? He's too busy avoiding knowing any news to have come across this news.

oh I shared that fact widely on Monday, completely trusting you. Today friends are acting like we didn't have a conversation about and they're sharing breaking news with me. Thank you for your tireless and amazing work.

I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin.

Don't. Here's why.

THAT’S exactly how you use your platform‼️

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

I thought most were accounted for at fort bliss and a couple of other places.

YouTube video by National Women's Law Center "We Have Your Back:" A Message to Trans Students from State Attorneys General

State AGs have released a video saying that they "will do whatever it takes" to protect trans people in their states.

While the message is admirable, they need to take the one step they have not yet:

Sue the hospitals that capitulate to Trump, violating state law.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

Monday I took 3 kids & self to get the covid shot before they restricted use. We got the last 4 CVS had on hand. As I filled out info online, it said CVS was waiting for the updated vax. I hesitated & wanted to wait for the update. Ultimately, went w/ it bc I didn't trust availability going fwd.

At least he admits a federal take over would be bad for DC.

(Note also the keffiyeh they’re all wearing.)

Isn't this confirmation of what Newsom said trump wanted to talk about on the call before sending in troops to LA? How cool his hats were?

Everything is a confession.

This whole thread, right to the end, is exactly where I’m at. Also no fun at parties.

Joni Ernst just brushed off an Iowa mom concerned about her son's Medicaid coverage that – thanks to Joni's vote – is now at risk.

Chloe and I have some thoughts:

JFC. They're using Potsdam font. That's not a dog whistle. It's an air raid siren telling us the HE-111s are inbound.

Absolutely deliberate.

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

Jerome Powell fact-checking Donald Trump’s lies in real time is an unexpected delight.

Excellent book!

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January
