After what happened to @padilla.senate.gov it is clear what you should be doing:

SAND IN THE GEARS!
1. Deny a Quorum…
2. Block Unanimous Consent…
3. Delay & Disrupt…
4. Blanket Opposition.

Cooperation is collaboration.

The same Trump who repeatedly declared during his campaign that "We are going to stop the reckless and costly policy of regime change overseas" has now publicly stated that he plans to pursue long-term national building in Venezuela financed by US taxpayers.

Trump considers his base to be suckers.

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6

my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left

Insurance will not pay for Vaccines if the CDC/ACIP doesn't mandate them.

If ACIP takes vaccines off its recommended list, or doesn’t give its stamp of approval to a future shot, health insurers would not be obligated to cover it.

They are lying, again.

This is what makes me uneasy about the future of our country. The fear that he may he right.

To be clear, this is sunflower oil. An attack on an American food production facility.

It will only matter if the Bunge Global owners donated heavily to 47.
Today russians hit an american oil refinery in Dnipro, Ukraine. Around 300 tons of oil are spilled on the roads. Tell me more about how the presence of US businesses will be a security guarantee against russian attacks.

Your fact of the day:

The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in six American citizens suffers a food-borne illness annually. In the UK, the figure is one in 132.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

Just a reminder: here is all that it took to get president Andrew Johnson impeached.

They introduced this and voted on it. They came up with the exact articles to send to the senate later.

The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.

Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.
Per reporting- US officials confirm that the United States launched military strikes on Venezuela, these bombings serving as a hideous extension of the regime’s illegal murders at sea.

In 1989, Carl Sagan was asked, “Are you a socialist?” He responded, “I believe the government has a responsibility to care for the people. There are countries perfectly able to do that. The United States is extremely rich. It chooses not to.
It chooses to have homeless people.”💯👍

Trump ain’t taking intelligence tests. Trump ain’t taking aptitude tests. Trump‘s taking the kind of tests to determine if you’re a danger to yourself or others.
