Even if the Senate holds that vote,
the House doesn’t have to take it up.
The last 40 days of pain were starting
to hurt Trump & the GOP politically.
With that pressure gone,
working families will pay the price.
Schumer didn’t want this deal,
but he couldn’t hold his caucus together.
That’s on him./

3. Republicans were playing good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
Good cop: Senate Republicans
Bad cop: House Republicans (Johnson)
Crazy cop: Russ Vought + Trump
Vought's plan was always to use impoundment/rescissions/starving people + firing feds to force Dems to surrender on the power of the purse.

The people’s anger will keep them energized; it’s already manifesting in on-the-ground organizing in every single state. They are united in their fury with Trump’s regime. The way to stop Trump is defeat the GOP — with a unified Democratic party that will actually fight like hell for our democracy.

I remember. We were glued to our radios. Millions listened, and we were appalled. There was nothing that could be done to help them, to save them.

This isn’t about left vs. right.
This is about fighting back vs. losing.
The regime’s threats are too real and the stakes are too high to settle for the feckless, loser version of the Democratic Party we saw this week. In this moment when fascists are on the march, we need leadership with a spine.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...
