The flaw in America is always racism.

I truly believe that when a majority of White America puts racism and inequality firmly in our past, we will fulfill the promise of America.

Thank you, @murray.senate.gov & @cantwell.senate.gov, for standing up for Washington families & working to prevent millions from losing their health care.

I am voting no. This funding proposal fails to address the fundamental needs of the American people.
BREAKING: The Senate voted to end the 41-day government shutdown, setting the stage for the House to reconvene later this week to pick up the legislation and send it to President Trump’s desk.

1/? Please do not vote for him! He said that he would not support Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House. As Black people we are fighting a two-front war. The GOP is trying to dilute our voting power with gerrymandering and the "left" is trying to dilute b/c they want to be "the base". WAKE UP!

I will do NO SUCH THING 😑
When are you guys going to grow some balls and go after Republicans?
If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

No one should doubt for a single second who is to blame for skyrocketing health care costs: Republicans and Republicans alone.

And families across the country will pay the price of Republican inaction every single month.

It's so much easier to blame everyone else but yourself for breaking bread with folks want to punish everyone who isn't like them. If you're silent, you're complicit. Remember that.

Should have voted for the brilliant Black lady.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

It’s okay because the Republicans promised to hold this exact same vote in a month
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It matters.
Also, the Senate bill strips out the national abortion and trans health care bans.

Feels like that should matter.

SCOTUS didn’t tear up marriage equality today…

In case shone who forgot- that was Dems who stood up for that…that 82 yr old successful POTUS you just tossed aside stepped out in front of that…

In case anyone is doing that ”Dems don’t stand for anything” shit…

Like, some of y’all are being straight evil. My uncle’s church is literally doing collections right now to get people food and diapers through the shutdown.
There is a human cost to indifference.

If you *actually* want to fight and win, then give Dems BOTH houses come midterms.
Lot of people telling on themselves that they have never even been slightly poor.

This is 100% on Republicans.

WHITE Voters stripped Democrats of all power a year ago, and to get mad at them now for not having power is just FUCKING STUPID.

All those people moaning about the Democrats having "Bad Messaging" seem to be clueless about the fact that THEY are amplifying the message (and lie) that Democrats are "Bad at Messaging"... that THEY are the problem they're whining about.

All while ignoring the GOP/Billionaires own all the media.

The Republicans and those who voted them into power are to blame. They’re the ones who made Democrats choose between letting people starve and federal workers go without pay OR letting the ACA subsidies lapse. Blaming Democrats instead of Republicans is ludicrous.
