so much is downstream of the problem that the Democratic Party does not, as such, exist

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHAT THE FUCK, CHUCK?

‘They’re already going around our authority, and they can’t just do that, so we have no choice but to give them the authority to do it.’

- Chuck Schumer

the Democratic party leadership has been working under the delusion that anyone demanding they fight must also be an ideological leftist, easily ignored as such

I think today may finally disabuse them of that notion -- a whole lot of mainstream libs and even centrists are clearly mad as hell

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

I would support this! We need to primary the dinosaurs.

SCHUMER: “the alternative would be worse” as he caves to avoid a shutdown, as Trump’s budget guy says the CR will be ripped up and Trump/musk will decide all

BERNIE: Dems helping pass a CR they had no input on so Musk and Trump can keep hurting people is “not how democracy works”

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

Opinion | Chuck Schumer: Trump and Musk Would Love a Shutdown. We Must Not Give Them One. A government shutdown would lead to real pain for the American people.

But wait a second, aren't Trump and Musk already shutting down government agencies selectively, which is what Schumer says he wants to avoid?
Hmm. Maybe this argument is not very cogent.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Good on Congresswoman McBride for ignoring the asshole.

Even better that Keating blew a gasket.

Do not normalize these fascist fucks and their cruelty.

Ever.

Cholo can win against everyone except Real, it's just unbelievable. A penalty in a shootout ruled out by VAR!

In case you are confused by recent events this may help clarify a few things.

How long until Tuberville explicitly calls for restoring textbook language like “the war of northern aggression”?

Protesters at the New York State Capitol chant "no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here" to "border czar" Tom Homan.

Love this for him.

In 1923 the state of Mississippi adopted a textbook called "The Klan" which said that “the best citizens of our country” joined the Klan because they were motivated by “love and protection of the home.”

Smells like good trouble.

I think a unified Senate Democratic caucus going to war on Trump and Musk over the power of the purse with shared messaging and clear emotional stories of why they're doing it would be very powerful and would undercut the "you're the minority shutting down the government" counter message

Malhuret comes from the centre-right in France. This is part of a trend we're seeing across Europe and Canada. Centre-right politicians and media are not merely abandoning Trump as a phony ideological ally, but are now strongly denouncing him as the malign tyrant of a former ally turned rogue state.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
