I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

There is nothing about this that suggests her deportation was an error. These were deliberate decisions and the headline of this excellent piece is a travesty.
“She called her children and her lawyer… who recalled telling her, “Make sure and give them all your documents, and see if they will talk to me.”
Instead, an agent seized her phone and switched it to airplane mode, Ms. Lopez said. Her wrists were bound, she said, and she was loaded into a van”

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
