In this case, the people who stopped being “Blue no matter who” are the Senators who crossed the aisle for the Republicans.

This is not real. This is not going to happen. There are no guardrails you can pass through the House and Senate, enact into law with the president’s signature, survive Supreme Court Court scrutiny, and be obeyed by Trump. bsky.app/profile/whit...
2. We need to move big appropriations bills that restore spending with strong guardrails to curtail Trump/Vought mischief. Boring but very real.

Ditching the people who just lost on purpose might help with the winning part. bsky.app/profile/whit...
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

I just sent this to that dipshit Dick Durbin's office.
![Letter to Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin:
Senator Durbin,
As a federal employee who has been locked out of his job for the past 40 days, has just witnessed an outpour of electoral support for candidates who are fighting this administration, and has lauded the many Chicagoans putting their bodies on the line to protect immigrants from this fascist government, I find it abominable that you would capitulate and vote to consider a minibus bill that offers absolutely nothing substantive to American citizens and will further enable this administration to terrorize its citizens despite the significant leverage that the Democrats currently have and the deep unpopularity of the President.
Not only is this a moral failure that will tarnish your legacy beyond well beyond your days, it is an abject failure in your position as minority whip.
There is still time for you to vote against this resolution, and while I hope you will come to your senses and do the right thing, you have shown a lack of the character, integrity, and humility to do so. You should be deeply ashamed of your support of this bill, and are rightfully condemned for it.
I understand that this is your last term in office. After this depressing spectacle, your retirement is insufficient. You should immediately relinquish your role as minority whip and resign to allow Governor Pritzker to nominate a replacement who will actually fight for Americans. I ask that you extend to the millions of Democratic voters the same courtesy in capitulating to their demands as you so often do to you Republican colleagues. Resign. Today.
Sincerely and contemptuously,
[Name Redacted]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ecgsrnb6z3hrmmrsg4h7m3iu/bafkreiajya64rsoy4sqe5bdynneyyskkcuoucamgthpr24uke5haaqndpy@jpeg)

It’s very unlikely you’ll ever get this tariff “rebate,” this isn’t the first time Trump has talked about such a stupid idea.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie: “DOGE rebates” 🤡
“..the proposal would distribute .. $5,000 per household for the 78 million households that pay federal income tax.”
