I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:
Independents
Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.
Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

There’s no ballroom, but East Room. And golden curtains. Same curtain that hung there during the Biden admin.
See, same curtain.
I took this pic last year, when Biden announced the immigration reform that Trump vetoed.

The State Department funneled $7.5M to Equatorial Guinea, one of the world’s most corrupt regimes, to accept US migrants—using funds meant for refugee resettlement, not deportation. It exceeds all aid the country has received in the past eight years, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee found.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.
Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.
And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?
I’m a F-NO!

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

The GOP bragged they’d never negotiate — that they didn’t need Democrats.
Then they shut down the government, threw parties at Mar-a-Lago, and kept Congress on vacation while Americans missed paychecks.
Polls were turning on them.
