Laurus Grey (they/them)

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

For what it's worth, I do basically agree that even pretty good Dem Senators (e.g. Booker) should face a strong primary challenge

Some of them may end up deserving to win those primaries! But they should still have to face them

Don’t fall for this shit. Primary every single one of them

Any Dem Senator decrying this deal - you better be making a motion to remove @schumer.senate.gov at the next available opportunity. Otherwise, it’s all just performative bullshit.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Nothing. It means nothing. Schumer needs to go.

Yep. In our house, the pedant hat comes in junior size. I am a pedant proudly raising the next generation of pedants.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @ivey.house.gov

Don't give them a fucking inch. Hold the line.

Chuck Schumer needs to go. The Democratic establishment is not made for this moment. Step aside and let someone with a spine lead.

Chuck Schumer, the laughingly bad wrong man for the moment as Senate Minority Leader

ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

These bastards are demanding states claw back money they sent to SNAP recipients. They really want people to starve.

Absolutely, positively. And for the Caribbean boat strikes, too.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Eww. This is horrifyingly gross.

If you have a license to practice law and find yourself arguing that millions of people should go hungry to help Mr. Trump's negotiations with Congress you should probably take a moment to reflect on the choices you've made in your life.

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court

Parody of Times headline "Did Humans Going to Work Ruin Everything?" Dek: That wasn't enough wet food, I'm STARVING

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

It's Constitutional Crisis Eve. Not Constitutional Crisis Steve.

Can I have him leave even if I don't faint?

PLEASE GOD LET CHUCK SCHUMER COPY HER

“This is how you’re allowing them to treat the people taking care of our babies”

We have heard privately from Republicans who are horrified by this one.

She has papers. They went room to room in a daycare. This is both racial profiling, and terrorism.

Incredible
