I don't know, @democrats.org. You've got the stock market, SignalGate, Loomer, Social Security being broken, innocent people being kidnapped/deported, CDC and FEMA essentially closed, Trump golfing...

If you can't spend the entire weekend saying "impeachment" I'm not sure what else you need.
Not even a question anymore. Worse than Brexit. Because of the fear and greed of a few dozen Republicans, the world is trapped watching an actual idiot, a provable criminal, a confirmed racist do whatever his broken brain wants while literal Nazis rip through every good system and institution.

I am glad to see this, Martin. But it is not enough. You need to use all the powers of the minority in the Senate to obstruct the dangerous and reckless actions the Trumpist Republicans will attempt
My friend @booker.senate.gov is on hour 14 on the Senator floor to amplify the voices of Americans being harmed by Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

This isn’t business as usual, and we won’t act like it is.

Tune in ⬇️
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."
 
The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

If apartheid was wrong in South Africa, it is wrong in Israel. If ethnic cleansing was wrong in Bosnia, it is wrong in Palestine. If genocide was wrong in Rwanda, it is wrong in Gaza. There is no principled way to support human rights in one context while excusing their violation in another.

What "battle"? Dem Senators haven't "battled" anything. Didn't stop a single nominee. Didn't even slow them down, just agreed to endless unanimous consents.

Then, when presented a situation where all they had to do was nothing, they leaped in to rescue Trump.

Don't lecture us, lecture your caucus.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."
