Here's how history will describe our present day:

Lots of Americans categorizing themselves as 'conservative' decided to hate liberals and the Democratic party so much, that they were totally fine with ditching liberal democracy.

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer.

Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄

An attorney for those detained said, "Is he taking a college seat away from an American since he's from London?"

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Bad news: the Dem coward caucus folded and handed the R(eich) party another win.

Good news: the House had to convene, resulting in the release of more Epstein files with damning information about Trump's involvement.
The U.S. government began reopening Wednesday night after President Trump signed into law a spending package that narrowly passed the House, ending the longest shutdown in the nation’s history.

The Democrats “need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal," writes Jamelle Bouie. "None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it.”

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.

He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.

Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

First, everyone stop calling those people 'centrist' or 'moderate.'
With the GOP having moved to the far right some time ago, caving to them is not a move to the center. Allowing a collapse of the healthcare system for tens of millions is certainly not moderate.
Here...they are:

1. Catherine Cortez Masto (D–Nevada)
2. Jacky Rosen (D–Nevada)
3. John Fetterman (D–Pennsylvania)
4. Dick Durbin (D–Illinois)
5. Tim Kaine (D–Virginia)
6. Maggie Hassan (D–New Hampshire)
7. Jeanne Shaheen (D–New Hampshire)
8. Angus King (I–Maine, caucuses with Democrats)

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
