Dear GOP,
If you’re gonna do anything with the tariff money, stop bailing out Argentina and passing out checks so Trump can pretend he’s personally writing these checks.
Pay down the debt. For once

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer and his fellow cowards showed once again that our politicians do not serve the people; they serve their donors and themselves. This political system is broken and the leadership is out of touch. If Schumer is not immediately replaced, Dems should lose any trust that remains.

And they forget or ignore it every single time.
Democrats would do well to remember that trusting a party defined by deceit and bad faith isn’t just naïve, it’s dangerous to democracy itself.

This is why I changed to being an Independent. @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to go. I refuse to give the Democrats any monetary support, too.
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

@schumer.senate.gov We know you were behind this moronic vote where you got nothing. No coincidence that none of these senators are up for reelection. Trump and the Republicans will f you and us. Why don't you see that, yet? You need to go.

No, you won’t. Meta regularly moves the buttons for accessing your human connections to defeat your muscle memory and force you to spend time looking at ads. Then they use higher “engagement time” to sell more ads.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Even if the Republican controlled federal government had allowed the $6 billion contingency reserve to be used to fund SNAP benefits it wouldn’t have been enough to completely fund SNAP
Let that sink in, The Trump administration made a conscious choice to starve millions of Americans.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

So the current mayor is a crook. The former governor is a crook. The "beret dude" is a crook.
But you cannot find the spine to endorse the only non-criminal in the race who BELONGS TO YOUR PARTY, because he's a Muslim? A Democratic Socialist?
Or is it because he's making you look like a fool?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
