The Democratic Party needs to announce that, until the next election, the districts that are represented by these senators will, technically, no longer have representation in the US Senate. They will be shunned until a proper representative is elected.
If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.
I’m terribly disappointed in him.

I hear more and more Republican are so poor that they can't afford "owning" libs anymore... it's that, or paying for health insurance.

If your company's employees require SNAP assistance, then your company will be taxed for the money spent on that SNAP assistance.
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

You know what? If you don't let me vote, then I don't have to pay your taxes.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national “voter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

Deplorable is a compliment compared to what they actually are.
Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It?
Republicans can insult half the country without consequence. Democrats say “deplorables” once and never hear the end of it.

So, there's no way to evacuate during a hurricane, especially since cuts to NOAA have shortened the warning period.

Let the air out their tires to prevent ramming others. Then make a kettle so that backup cannot get to them.
Give up the man and they can walk peacefully to their backup.
