Trump bankrupting a casino has moved from something I could not for the life of me simply understand HOW he did that - to probably the most logical outcome of anything he’s ever done.
I’m sorry I’m seeing red and this is something i should be able to figure out, but how do i contact these Dems who have caved tonight?

One would think if these scabs would look around and see that Schumer if has more grit than you, might be a sign not to defect. But what do i know, I’m just a pleb that wants everyone to have health care.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders and refuses to negotiate in good faith. HE wants a shutdown. Remember: Trump himself said the president is accountable for a shutdown. The blame is his.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.
Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.
