Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?”

Trump’s own DOJ now reports that ONLY 2.5% of the people ICE arrested in Chicago have any criminal history.

That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like

Today, Trump rolled back his excessive tariffs on coffee, beef, bananas, tomatoes, and more agricultural products, effectively admitting that he himself caused their prices to go up.

Have you contacted your Democratic senators yet?

Demand that your Democratic senators call on Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We need new leadership that will actually fight for us.

Donald Trump blamed Republicans' big losses last week on not TALKING enough about affordability.

Pro tip: If you want to talk about affordability, you probably shouldn't be doing everything you can to make health care, groceries, and utilities MORE expensive.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
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...

Honestly, seeing Senate Dems show their true colors tells me that these are the folks who would NEVER fight to get justice for what the GOP (ICE, Tr*mp) are doing to us now. They would Merrick Garland the post-Tr*mp era and gaslight us w/ "the GOP were misguided. Let's move on with unity!"
If you want to understand the fools establishment Dems take us for, and you want your blood pressure to hit the roof, read this absolute gaslighting from one of the "no" senators.

Senate Dems have one path to begin rebuilding trust: remove Schumer.

This thread is insulting @whitehouse.senate.gov
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

Below I provide the names, phone numbers, & a sample script to call these 8 Senate democrats who folded to Trump, & demand they reverse course and side with the American people.

81% of Dem voters want Senate Dems to stand firm. Let's make sure the Senate listens.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.

Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

If people want Schumer to go here is what you need to do.

1) Call for his ouster (check)
2) Find a replacement (?)
3) Make specific demands on what the replacement needs to do (??)
4) Withhold all support from any senator who does not agree.

That's your playbook.

If your Senator voted no tonight, it's time to get them on the record demanding new leadership. And consequences for the 8 who voted against the caucus.
I've seen a lot of people circulating lists of the 8 senators who voted for cloture on the new CR. Those are not the people Rank & File Democratic voters need to be identifying. They need to be calling their own senators to demand that the caucus punish members who voted with republicans on this.
