Anyone who believes that the Senators who voted for the non-deal did so without Schumer’s consent while he votes no for show is gullible & naive. You either do this with a plan and exit strategy or you don’t do it at all. There is a disconnect between Dem voters & Sen leadership.

Democratic leadership and the hated eight obviously never listened to Kenny Rogers. They clearly have no fucking clue when to hold and when to fold.

Schumer is like a musician who watches his band get a standing ovation for playing a set of songs and then refuses to let the band play them anymore. He needs to be booed or escorted off the stage.

Dear Democratic Leadership: some of y’all clearly never faced a bully as children or were not raised like Gen-X. You do not give in to bullies for empty promises. You fight back with everything you have so the bully knows not to keep picking on you. #Primarythe8

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

@ossoff.senate.gov do not concede anything in the shutdown negotiations. The other side cannot be trusted to honor anything they say they will do later and healthcare is too important to give up on. We must be as committed and calculated as they are.

The Orange Narcissist stood there with his back turned to the medical emergency in his office with a look of disgust as if to say “how dare you upstage my meeting.” RFK jr. ran out of the room. They show you who they are every day.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

They said we had to give corporations and billionaires tax breaks in 2017 so it could "trickle down."
Now they're saying we "can't afford" to feed the 40 million people who need SNAP.
40 million people wouldn't need SNAP if tax cuts for the rich "trickled down."

Hey @apnews.com how is this the headline? “Trump says China’s Xi has assured him that he won’t take action on Taiwan during Republican’s term” how is it not “Trump again puts his own image ahead of US interests”

Imagine having a rich grandfather who was losing his mental faculties. If every family member was able to manipulate him and get what they wanted, he would remain happy and free. The minute he either had no more money or stopped giving everyone what they want, he would be committed. This is POTUS .

Could some famous historians out there possibly explain for those in the back row what happens when a society is run by the wealthy property owners and they fund their own military? I feel like this has played out before.

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
