We all knew that. It’s you and your colleagues that seem to think otherwise, because CRs are the only way to force them to agree to funding. Instead, you’ve conceded the point after weeks of suffering which you rendered worthless.
We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

The absolute fuck???
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...
Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches

Legitimately confused as to how Democrats think this is going to work out. Do they think we, their base of support and the ones who keep the lights on, are going to re-elect them to…what? Like elections are in two years and we’re not two weeks in and the republic is teetering. What’s their plan?

I know this and yet still got upset because the elections actually gave me hope and I let my guard down
There are two things to understand in this moment and have to be first and foremost when addressing politics:
- There is no Republican Party; there is only a Trump-run neo-Confederate death cult
- There is no Democratic Party while any member acts like there’s a Republican Party

The Democratic Party keeps telling you that it is dead and some of you keep performing CPR on the corpse. Y’all gotta have more respect for yourselves.

The Democratic Party is already dead. They’re the 1850s Whigs but just don’t know it yet

But first, we have to kill off the Democratic Party. Or, more aptly, leave it to die. Like the Whigs, they have abandoned their function by embracing moral and political cowardice, and they will meet the same end. Do not mourn them; the better use of energy is to replace them.

I just want to say, randomly, that a pardon is an acknowledgment of guilt. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment still exists. Anyone in office who is also technically covered by this pardon is eligible for Section 3 of the 14th amendment.
The language of this pardon is extremely broad.
It includes “all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential
electors…”

Good thing Senate Democrats showed that there are no consequences to anything ever by giving up all their leverage 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
BREAKING:
Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.

The correct thing to do is to make every Senate Democrat beg for mercy. They’re all guilty. If not for this vote, then for letting Schumer remain leader after the previous nonsense in March.
I mean they do fear the base, which is why people who are not in the immediate line of fire didn't vote for this. They just don't think there's a large splash zone for that rage or that it will last until they're on the block
Dem pols really have 0 fear of their base and that kinda has to change.

We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).

And we want that resignation effective immediately or before the next CR vote. It’s not just because he deserves it, but to make clear to anyone who would be his successor in the role that we, the base, are not negotiating anymore. If you fail, we will break you and replace you.
Whatever happens after this, y’all, we must all agree to do whatever non-felony things we can to make Schumer miserable until he resigns.
