Thank you @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov for not caving in to Republican insanity. Now's the time to call for *new leadership* in the party - how about starting by getting rid of @schumer.senate.gov & @durbin.senate.gov?? #DumpChuckAndDick

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Cuck & his Senate waited until after the election to pull off their scheme bc they KNEW it would hurt D numbers.
As soon as they got our votes, they betrayed us and made a deal to please their donors, choosing "yes's" that couldn't be touched.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social PROVE ME WRONG. DEPOSE HIM.

Sure...had to sweeten the deal so that the REPUBLICANS would agree to it! Fucking spineless Dems. #DumpChuckNow
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said.
He's completely out of touch, or just lying.

You didn't get a vote. You got a "promise" of a vote. From a party who is disappearing nannies & gardeners and zip-tying children. A party who has flushed Due Process in America down the toilet. Who has subjugated its Congressional duties to an autocrat. That's what everybody sees, Tim.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

BREAKING: Trump admin once again asked the Supreme Court to freeze full SNAP payments.
As Americans are struggling, this self-serving President is spending his time and resources trying to prevent people from getting food to feed their children.
