On the other hand, it looks like Fitzpatrick at least thinks we will have midterm elections. I’m still not convinced we will ever again. But his calculated vote shows me he does. I hope he’s right .

This whole week there has been such a lack of coverage on this bill. It’s insane .
This is what’s on CNN right now, an hour after Republicans passed a bill stripping healthcare from 17 million Americans, gutting food assistance to the tune of $300 billion, and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion.

I’ll never believe a Brian Fitzpatrick vote with the Democrats is anything other than strategic unless it actually stops a bill. I’ve paid very close attention to every important vote and he only votes with Dems if the GOP has the votes it needs to pass a bill.

Imagine if we had real leadership. Not AIPAC and corporate owned hypocrites who cosplay as progressives.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Chuck Schumer has had his chance—and he’s failed to rise to the moment.
We need bold, unapologetic leadership in the Senate, not more caution and compromise. Our rights, our future, and our democracy are on the line.
Call your senators and demand @schumer.senate.gov step down as Minority Leader.

He also voted No on sending more bombs to Isreal. 👏👏👏👏
I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I wish I could get excited about Cory Booker. I’m starved for democratic leadership. But he is a HUGE AIPAC recipient and said nothing about the genocide during his filabuster. Being against ethnic cleansing is the bare minimum .

Replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader and Primary him. We have no wiggle room. We must have real leaders.
‘Since 2019, I’ve watched young people across the country make a similar choice — turning away from a Democratic Party that once promised a “hopey, changey” vision but now feels distant, performative, and unwilling to fight for a future we deserve.’

Democrat leaders have no moral authority. How can we expect people to vote for democrats when they can’t even stand against murder. We need leadership that will fight for basic humanity and goodness and stand against evil.

I’d love Murphy for minority leader.
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Democrats need to learn how to treat real scandals with the same intensity and seriousness that Republicans use on bullshit like Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop. Non-stop circus. Run shifts outside treasury, someone there 24/7. Make them prove they're not breaking the law.
Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?
Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.
Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Truly where is the taking of the microphone of goodness, truth, compassion. This is not hard. She modeled it perfectly. Only @aoc.bsky.social is speaking into this place.
Why isn't every Dem social media feed in the country elevating Budde's call-out of Trump right now?
Bishop Mariann Budde's extraordinary sermon calling out Trump also gives Dems language to highlight his coming immigration horrors. Its impact shows there's still a way to reach people's decency and humanity.
