Our moment to stop this is waning. Join together or be picked apart, controlled, and ultimately destroyed.
Weakness in leadership when so many of us are pushing ourselves so hard to fight is insulting. @schumer.senate.gov you had your moment. Step aside for someone ready to meet this one.
MoveOn members are done waiting for courage that never comes. Step aside as leader, Senator.

For once, the GOP is on the other side of the messaging. They can't be gluttons for cuts one day, posing with chainsaws, then try to convince people they hate cutting their services.
Russ Vought has literally been dreaming about the day he gets to do this for at least a decade. He’s like a pig in shit right now.
Johnson: "Russ does this reluctantly. He takes no pleasure in this. Russ has to sit down and decide which policies, personnel, & programs are essential & which are not. That's not a fun task and he's not enjoying that responsibility...if they keep the govt closed, it's gonna get more & more painful"

In exchange for Bukele imprisoning people abducted from the US, like Abrego Garcia, Trump stopped investigations into MS-13 suspects who could testify about Bukele’s collusion with MS-13:

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Do not lose hope.
You are not alone.
Most of America rejects this.
The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism.
And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.
