The president is clearly unwell. As an American, I find it hard to believe that our president speaks in this way.

The President using his platform to lift up people calling for political violence is twisted, dangerous stuff.

There is NO room in our democracy for political violence—and every single Senator should join me in saying Trump's behavior is completely unacceptable.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

One way to know is to contact your Democratic Senator and demand that they replace Schumer and Friends with actual leadership. If they don't, just assume they supported this betrayal.
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

A night of betrayal
A night of empty promises
A night of crooked politics
A night that shines renewed light

We must focus on the work that needs done within the flawed political parties and structures of yesterday that have failed us, before any true progress can be made.
Tonight was a very bad night.

i suspect there’s some truth to this and also why we should be EXTREMELY skeptical that senate dems as currently constituted would ditch the filibuster should they ever have a trifecta again

Love these eight turncoat Dem senators giving an immediate press conference trying to justify why they support fascism and DGAF about the hundreds of thousands folks depending on affordable ACA subsidies. At least the press is attacking their stupid decision.

Reporter: What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation?

Shaheen: We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date…

Reporter: There is no guarantee that this will become law.

Ok, here is why this Alt is pissed off.

They got a promise, pinky swear, from the GOP (known liars) on a vote 40 days from now on the subsidies. After the subsidies have expired, after the rates are locked.

40 day from now, meaning there isn't going to be any ACA help for 2026.

At a time when Trump wants to double premiums and throw 15 million off the health care they have, please remember that the U.S. is the only major country on Earth not the guarantee health care to all as a human right.

We must pass Medicare for All.

Absolutely despicable.
Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it?

JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ACLU reporting that “several of the 6 women detained at South Louisiana ICE Center in Basile, LA, & Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA were pregnant & have miscarried while in custody.”

0 outrage from MAGAs about these fetuses. They were never about life. They are only about control of women.

Sounds like something that's connected... and should be reported on 🤨
I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
