Trump is retweeting death threats. This should be enough alone to get him removed from office immediately. He's flat out instigating violence and it's because of Epstein.

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

“they,” by the way, are the largely white, largely rich capitalists from across the political spectrum. obviously a bit more concentrated on the right, but there are so many democrats and even leftists who only heard the last 4 words of the sentence, “the emergency phase of the pandemic is over.”

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.
Literally resign tonight.

Dem leaders like Schumer and Jeffries are playing by rules that don't exist anymore. They're predicated on the assumption that everyone has the same moral aptitude to do what is right for the majority, even if they disagree and are in the minority. And that.. just doesn't happen anymore.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
