@schumer.senate.gov Once again, you failed your constituents and the American people. The message last week is clear: your time has passed. Resign with dignity, and let a more capable leader who can unite the caucus take the role. Or spend the rest of your days in ignominy, old fool.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Time for the part of the caucus that's willing to fight to ask Schumer to step down, or to push him out. I see you as the future leader of the D's in the Senate: rational, smart, savvy, and unafraid.

@abigaildisney.bsky.social you still own a lotta stock in the company that has your family name. Time to raise a stink and oust the leadership? They haven’t exactly helped the stock price anyway.

Vance claims that Democratic lawmakers are engaged in political theatre.
As always, every accusation is an admission. Many of us will recall that he’s the guy who said he was willing to make up ridiculous stories (such as Haitians eating dogs and cats in Ohio) if it served his political purposes.

Let's all hail a moment of bipartisan agreement: Trump and all the Democrats agree that Tulsi Gabbard is out of her depth (if not her mind) and needs to be sidelined or removed from her position.

Republican logic: we need to deport all undocumented people because a few commit awful crimes. Let's use that logic: one Trump voter was an assassin today in MN--so let's imprison all Trump voters and remove them from our country.

For those not up on supply chain timetables, this means that the goods that would be in those containers aren’t going to be in stores, on factory floors, or in homes in 30-90 days. And you thought the toilet paper shortages were bad.
Container bookings from China to the United States are nosediving.

This is my friend. She’s the best representative the US could want. And this is how we treat her and her family. Not our nation’s values.
Her wife was twice denied a medical evacuation due to complications from her pregnancy, then experienced a hemorrhage.
Why? The funding to pay for it was no longer available.
Just one more manifestation of the cruelty of the people dismantling USAID.

@ngpvan.com heard you were having data problems during the campaign. Maybe candidates will stop working with you. The way you share our private information without consent has done more to harm D fundraising than most people know. Hope you’re out of business soon.

Roberta Flack was such an extraordinary talent. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is among my favorite performances, in the way that it softly but passionately aches. Anyone who’s been in love or longed to be in love understands that feeling-and she captured it perfectly. RIP
