If the Democrats had a hair on their ass they would start a nationwide campaign where they had commercials showing all the Republicans convicted of sex scandals plus the emails with they’re not like us playing in the background.

I listened to a lot of Limbaugh in the 90s & know exactly what they were saying and it’s so clear they never meant anything they said, we have 1000% been played, and even at my most black hearted cynical moments I was never cynical enough. I thought Baylor was bad but what the actual hell is this?

OH COME ON!
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

Hahahahahaha if you switch to new outlook then do a mail merge, those emails can just sit in your *old* outlook app until you open the old app again a month later because you went to check if there was a typo in the subject line of your latest merge and you realize with growing horror what occurred

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

While you are organizing— and remember: the GOP is the main problem, they are in power and can stop this whenever— don’t forget to donate to Federal Unions’ funds for workers and do something to help you remember other things exist, like the bird feed!
📌 Welcome to the Birds! 🦉 feed - photography, science, news, art, & more welcome!

To post to the feed, you must be on the feed contributor list. See thread for feed info/rules, how to get added, & how to check if you’re already on the list.

The good news is everyone gets to bother their representatives now!

Republicans are in power. They are the main ones at fault for the shutdown and that needs to be repeated constantly. For each time you yell at a Democratic politician, yell at a GOP one twice.

We’re going to fight over the very settled POTUS can’t pardon you for state crimes before the “can he pardon himself” biggie? For real?

Why not? Also you can go to the FEC’s website to figure out how much you’ve donated, then call and tell them not a penny more. Also, consider joining your local party org so you can go to conventions, vote on endorsements, and help write platforms.

Quick thread on timing of reopening the government, if they’re able to invoke cloture on MTP. (That’s a 60 voter, so you need 8 Dems assuming Rand Paul is still a no.)

For timing, if they invoke cloture today (assume after 6pm), that begins the 30 hours of debate. Takes us to Tuesday for MTP vote.
