This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.
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...

Senate Dems have tainted themselves to the point the rest of the party wants no association with them.

If you're a Senate Dem and don't want to go down as a Surrender Dem who betrayed us all, demand Chuck Schumer be removed as leader. ASAP. This is your only path to redemption.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

Momentum builds for new leadership!
Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️

Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.
Progressive group MoveOn calls on Schumer to step aside
"Inexplicably, some Senate Democrats, under Leader Schumer's watch, decided to surrender."

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

September 9th. SEPTEMBER 9th! This capitulation was a forgone conclusion. SAVE THE EXCUSES.
I realize that it would be a lot easier for all of you, if your base was a bunch of Fux Noise viewers, but too bad. Dems had a good run of minimal scrutiny - That is OVER.

A Dem senator who made $250k on one Tesla stock trade says before the election is supposed to be trusted to put us above Elon Musk? This is why @aoc.bsky.social is correct: no stock trading for electeds. How can they work for us when they make millions of dollars in direct conflict with our welfare?

Dark money. Corporate profit. AIPAC. Corruption. When the GOP were fed "drain the swamp" by Tr*mp...it wasn't off the mark, it's just that MAGA forgot that the GOP in govt are also the swamp. Just enough truth to seduce voters.

We will never have representation while $$$ controls our electeds.
It is the abject hypocrisy we're all exhausted by. He made $1 million in stock trades in one month and takes money from Netanyahu/AIPAC. www.nasdaq.com/articles/net...

The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.

Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

Dem Senators aren't for us unless they're for removing Chuck Schumer. Now is the time to highlight corruption in the Dem caucus and clean house.

Too many Senate Dems are bought and paid for and will fuck us and our entire democracy for their greed and the dark $$ that controls them.

Context on previous arrests:
Wow, apparently UCPD arrested 4 people for felony vandalism for allegedly hanging up a cardboard bug and putting up posters. 3 are held on $20k bail, 1 on $10k bail.

Heyo! I have just arrived in front of Zellerbach Hall at the University of California, #Berkeley where hundreds of people have gathered to protest Turning Point USA's final your stop tonight.

An arrest of some sort is happening it appears. No idea why. The crowd is irate.

Went to repost this and then depressingly saw it was from 8 months ago. This is still true, and I am now convinced it will remain true until there are successful primary challenges nationwide to the "roll over and play dead" Dems.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Jfc. Senate Dems really truly do want to be losers. They don't know how to fight. They are clueless cucks with no strategy, no cunning. AND THEY CUCK THEMSELVES.

I swear, they have a humiliation kink. And they're forcing us to participate in it without consent.
