We had all the momentum

•The American people were blaming Republicans

•A landslide Democratic victory

•Courts ordering Trump to fund SNAP benefits

Yet you couldn't convince your caucus to fight for us

It's the final straw that breaks the back of your tenure as leader, Senator

Time to step down
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

GOP: We knew the Dems would cave—- they always do. Their party logo should be a pillow holding a white flag.

DEMS: You agreed to vote on the ACA subsidies at a later date.

GOP: Have you met us before? Is there a single promise we’ve ever kept? What the fuck is wrong with you?!!

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov!

Americans gave you a clear assignment last Tuesday, and you didn’t understand it.

Now, we are giving you another one: Step down and allow a Democrat with a spine to unite your caucus for the good of all Americans.

Remember what you told Biden? Now, tell it to yourself.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Schiff: "Ultimately, what's gonna protect the American people is what we saw on Tuesday -- the voters coming out and rejecting Republicans, rejecting increased healthcare costs, rejecting a president who is more focused on his personal enrichment than he is on trying to help people who are hungry."

And yet voters do this over & over. The very definition of insanity.
This is what happens when Republicans are given the task of governing. Chaos, economic collapse, and suffering.

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Never let Musk forget he is responsible for these deaths & never buy a Tesla.
Elon Musk called USAID a terrorist organization

He wielded a chainsaw as he bragged about DOGE “feeding [it] into the wood chipper”

MAGA cheered

Now 400,000 children are dead

Their demise is Musk’s legacy

NEVER let him forget it

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

18F was proud to support the IRS, alongside the US Digital Service and other partners, in building Direct File. While disappointed in this latest outcome, we know our work together has shown what’s possible in civic tech when we put the American public first.

Make no mistake, Trump was absolutely on the ballot last night.

All his endorsed candidates got trounced.

It was a rebuke of him, his policies, his cruelty and his corruption.

It was a rebuke of authoritarianism, of fascism.

Working class Americans want their country back.

The Supreme Court Enabled Revenge Prosecutions

Chief Justice John Roberts said sweeping immunity was necessary to avoid a president who would “prosecute his predecessors."

In the year since, rather than preventing the weaponization of prosecutions, the court has unleashed it.

Instead of asking the Speaker of the House if he has a view on <critical separation-of-powers QOTD>, maybe reporters should start asking him if he reads any newspapers or otherwise informs himself on those matters to which we might think the Speaker of the House ought to be paying attention?
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
