Any Democrat in Congress who would accept a promise from a Republican in Congress should undergo a cognitive test.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.
But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.
Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.
People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

So Speaker Johnson threw a tantrum today & canceled votes for the rest of the week because he couldn’t wrangle enough support to block new parents from voting in Congress. I guess when you don’t get your way, you just shut it down and send everyone home? The American people didn’t elect us to pout.

have to make it through a second term first...
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

But no, apparently Schumer team is saying that the tour is being postponed because of security concerns.
Rather than say, "Hey, we're in an ever-expanding constitutional crisis that demands all of my attention," it's "The Dem base is big mad and I'm scared of the optics."

Schumer's postponed the book tour and Dems tweeted then quickly deleted an inane post about Trump affecting beer prices so maybe *maybe* someone on the team is waking up to the reality that 2017 messaging probably doesn't meet the moment.

Feels like the main thing you should know about the Democratic Party is that three years ago they controlled a trifecta after Trump tried to launch a coup, and they dismissed everyone who said they should impose accountability and said “no, we know how to beat him at the polls: kitchen-table ads”

Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care.

NEWS: We polled our locals yesterday before Schumer's surrender asking what they would do to hold accountable Senate Dems who cave on the GOP bill.
67% said they'd show up at town halls or public events to express their anger.
78% said they'd support primary challenges.
We'll see where this goes.
