These people are dead to me. Unreal.

Brian Murphy @burrite.bsky.social · 22h

Run for leadership or organize to oust them. Anything less is empty talk. And I say that as a supporter in an Eph household.

Ah and what are Illinios senators up to today?

Oh.

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

I’m not down with the renovation. But as I said in high school the sweetest girl worked there and we all hang on to things.

Meanwhile these are Durbin’s constituents who he is supposed to be protecting.

It’s so genuinely shameful there are no words.

My suburban NJ Catholic parish had flyers out yesterday for a prayer vigil this week outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark.

They're showing more compassion and courage than the DC electeds giving even more funding to this violent repression machine.

Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."

Brian Murphy @burrite.bsky.social · 1d

Going on Fox to talk about how you stuck it to your own voters is something.

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?

SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

Republicans were going to have to kill the filibuster, which the surrender Democrats wanted to keep in place so they can use it as an excuse to tank the Democratic agenda if they’re ever in power again.

They all deserve to be primaried. Every last one.

Richard M. Nixon @dicknixon.bsky.social · 1d

Democrats weren't going to win. They were going to force Republicans to kill the filibuster. WIthout the filibuster they would be forced in power to pass a lot of things they don't want to pass.

Literally the “better things aren’t possible” position

NJ Gov-elect Mikie Sherrill: “the American people want leadership with a backbone. And at a critical moment when they need leaders to stay strong under pressure, the Senate is on the brink of caving on a bill that the American people can't afford.”

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

There was nothing on recessions, abuses of power, or corruption because healthcare was going to take center stage.

But then they caved on healthcare anyway.

There is no right any of us hold that they wouldn’t trade away to avoid a minor inconvenience.

I finally made a good Neapolitan pizza and these loser fuckers absolutely ruined the mood

Primary every damn one of them into the sun. We’re doomed if they stay in office a minute more.

Four of these dipshits are retiring

Brian Murphy @burrite.bsky.social · 1d

At some point you have to think a lot of them are okay with what has happened and they’re happy to see it continue.

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.
