Sorry - this is Greg Casar. I'm here bc I'm covering recess town halls and other angles.

Casar: The division between Dems "is now between those folks who say we need to stand and fight, and those who say we need to roll over and play dead."

"Nobody's inspired by a corpse."

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I am fascinated by this fourth wall–breaking footnote from Justice Jackson criticizing the majority for handing the Trump administration "a notch in its belt at the start of a legal battle in which the long-term prospects for its eventual success seem doubtful." It's more about optics than law ...

I think we need to be better when discussing Gov. Greg Abbott and not use such ablist language when describing him.

Understand that when Greg Abbott had his accident and was completely paralyzed from the neck up, he still persevered to become governor - something truly to be applauded.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Our HHS Secretary RFK Jr, the former heroin addict who said the drug made him a better student and who is infamously slutty, thinks HIV may not cause AIDS.

This man says it's caused by gay men's sexual promiscuity and the fault of drug addicts. Recycled Reagan-era conservatism.
