@durbin.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov if you’re a leader, even if you think you’re going to lose, you have to fight so the people you’re leading see you fight. No on cloture. No on the CR.

I hope you suffer an incurable, fiery genital rash for the rest of your days, you traitorous bag of dried turds. You are a less than worthless thing. Total appeasing garbage.

The Dem party is not for us, not for the people. They are center-right at best.
We looked through tax returns and corporate political disclosures to find some recent funders of Third Way, the dark money group pushing Democrats to reject progressives—latest @sludge.bsky.social:
