The video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder the 15 aid workers who are clearly in ambulances.
These are blatant War Crimes, Israel must be sanctioned and all aid cut off to them now.

The Tea Party, although backed by billionaires, breathed new life into a calcified old Republican Party. It showed that there was life and energy on the political right.
This resistance to popular movements on the Democratic side is so destructive—a recipe for stagnation, defeat, and irrelevance.

The (astroturf) Tea Party gave the GOP its biggest wave since the 1920s, electing 87 new House members in 2010.
It moved the Overton Window right, cowed the Obama administration, put fear into Dem lawmakers, and ultimately made Trump possible.
Yeah, Dems wouldn’t want that for themselves…

The Democratic Party has been throwing working people under the bus for a while.
It’s encouraging to see people waking up to it, as it has become unsustainable.
Welcome aboard. Let’s demand better: a political party that choosing working people over owner-donors.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians.
...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

Rollover and play dead wins. I'm honestly really sorry everyone. This is a bad, depressing outcome. We tried our best, and we didn't succeed. We're circling up with Indivisible group leaders over the next day to plan for what accountability will look like. Stay tuned.
The final tally to advance the CR is 62-38.
The Democrats who voted for cloture, giving Donald Trump everything he wants:

The administration is doing a good job trying to keep measles cases from being counted, yet we’ve already had more deaths in 2025 than in any of the last 30 yrs.
Measles also has a delay (incubation period) between transmission and symptoms, so people can be contagious without knowing they’re sick.

This is particularly scary because it's confirmation that he no longer even cares if he hurts his base. Yeah the cult will stick with him for now, but this is a blaring siren that nothing matters anymore. He will not restrain his authoritarianism because he is afraid to lose his own support.
