Jeffries can go too! How are they so out of touch?? We, the American people, demand you do more. The democratic leadership needs to be voted out, we deserve leaders who will fight for us daily not just when it’s convenient for their reelection

Now about #Schumer . . . We need a stronger, rowdier, scrappier fighter to lead the Dems in overturning the travesties we face.
Let Me Be Blunt: promises won’t bring premiums down.
The government funding deal that just passed the Senate simply isn’t good enough.
But this fight isn’t over.

I'd rather see a praying mantis bite off its mate's head than happy, huggy pandas. This idea is called catharthis. It is used in times of #Dem betrayal.
I’m bummed.
Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Oust #Schumer. It’s not age or time-in-title, it’s lack of effective strategy with this administration. We need an unpredictable and ferocious scrapper.
We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.
We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

He is not #stupid. He is wily, cunning, cagey, deceitful, sneaky, scheming, dodgy, devious, stealthy, treacherous, shady, furtive, duplicitous . . . With a layer of #dementia.
We may want to react with a quick insult, but it’s better to use words that stab with the #truth.

“As a business that sells coffee and food, it didn’t feel right to just sit and watch people go hungry,” (wrote Josh, the owner of Heretic Coffee, Portland). Any other food establishments up for this kind of help during #SNAP shutdown? www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/sna...
Portland coffee shop offers free SNAP breakfast 'until everyone’s benefits are reinstated, or we go broke doing it'
The Heretic Coffee owner said Portland has recently been depicted as “some kind of rioting, looting, burning-down city” and “this act is just one small glimpse of the real Portland.”
