Since Trump’s 2024 win...Democratic leadership...as a collective unit....has been playing Tiddlywinks. Never unified. Never fierce. Never using every tool with spit-flying intensity. Not. One. Fucking. Time.

You may "feel" like they have been...but...the facts do not support that feeling.

Anyone waiting for "a promise of a vote on healthcare" is still waiting for Mexico to pay for a wall.

Leadership doing what their donors tell them to do. It's oligarchy.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

So now that we’ve given up the only leverage we had, against the will of the voters, we’ll see if the GOP will maybe think about the possibility of a vote on the concept. Ugh.

Exactly.
"They will come to the table"?
That _was_ the table, and they didn't come.
I'm thinking they can't actually be this dumb. I'm thinking it's probably just corruption.

I’ve heard from the rabbit in my back yard who loves my young plantings, that it’s willing to consider leaving them alone so they can grow. I’m waiting to see if working together ever materializes.

The Constitution says a senator must be at least 30 years old, so I can't understand how we have all these senators who were born yesterday.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

CNN's Harry Enten: What President Trump is trying to sell, the American folks aren’t buying, and we can see it pretty simply here. Take a look here. This is consumer sentiment, the current conditions…and get this: according to the University of Michigan, we are dealing with the worst ever

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

*If all goes by the regular schedule

Congressional Republicans have never found themselves in a serious predicament where Democrats weren't willing to ease the pain.

It never goes the other way.

Listen to the frustration in this pilot’s voice. He just wants to do his job & provide on-time service to his passengers, but can’t due to the Trump Administration’s level of incompetence.
