We are watching our flawed system be traded in for an objectively dangerous one— one that prioritizes profit over safety, conspiracy over evidence, and pseudoscience over public health.

The CDC has literally been gutted today.
There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Schumer has just Senate Rs don't have the votes on the CR.
That's good, because it would shift money from essential services (like the programs that run Head Start and Community Health Centers) to ICE.
At the same time it would strip Congress of some tariff oversight & force DC to cut its budget.

Slightly updated GOP CR numbers final FINAL final v2.
Left image shows just the non-defense portion. Right image shows just the defense portion.
The tl;dr is that the House GOP CR increases defense by $6 billion & cuts non-defense while significantly shifting money to ICE and other DHS activities.

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

We needed 263 Al Greens tonight.
Silently walking out wasn't it.
Republicans control the cameras, it wasn't covered.
We need our reps in Congress to be as loud as they want their constituents to be.
Be the change you wish to see.
