Damn straight!
Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

“Trump, we’ve believed in you ... And now we’ve seen you uncharacteristically flip-flop on your promises. ‘There was no Epstein case ... Ok, we’re gonna investigate it ... anybody investigating it is fake news and is a traitor.' Your most loyal supporters are the ones pointing this out.”
Alex Jones Panics That Trump Is “Destroying MAGA in Real Time”
The Infowars host also slammed Trump’s cult-like behavior as he tries to close the case on Jeffrey Epstein.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

The Constitution is unambiguous: two terms. That's it.
Any other scenario is a trial balloon. We need to loudly condemn it and include it in every single call we make to the Hill.
He is not a king. He is not a god. He's a malignant narcissist, subject to the Constitution like all of us.

Oh, I think I know the answer. Is it— … lemme think here … —because they’re making s**t up?
Trump says he can invoke the wartime Alien Enemies Act of 1798 because the nation is at “war” w/Venezuelan gangs. At yesterday’s House hearing on the newly published Annual Worldwide Threats Assessment, Rep. Castro asked a blunt question: Why is there no mention of it the official threat assessment?

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government."

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.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.
I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.

His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.

Why are Senate Democrats acting as though they will be responsible for a government shut down when the Republicans control the White House, Senate and House?
If there is a government shut down, it’s on the Republicans – they have control and they are responsible for this abominable bill.
