Not necessarily in that order.
Another @schumer.senate.gov failure as democrats in the Senate give up and leave the shutdown fight empty handed. If he can’t lead his party in a fight then why is he leader? We need REAL leadership in the Senate.

Tap your heels and say "corruption" three times and David Sacks will appear.
UPDATE:
Senate Dems have asked State and Commerce Inspectors General to open formal investigations into Steve Witkoff and David Sacks, based on NYT story examining multibillion $$$ crypto/chips deals. Third Senator promises to use his power to investigate the matter

Brave Sir Congress ran away—
(“No, we conducted hearings!”)
Bravely ran away, away—
(“We issued strongly worded letters!”)

They bravely turned their backs and fled—

Why is Pelosi still in Congress throwing lifelines to Trump. Hasn’t she got enough money from her years of insider trading to call it a day? Leave already!
Nancy Pelosi characterizes the Epstein scandal and seeming coverup as "a distraction" from kitchen table issues

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

Big words from a man whose greatest artistic contribution is butchering the English language one incoherent rant at a time. You insult people’s looks like you're not built like a bloated creamsicle stuffed into an ill-fitting suit. You’re a washed-up lounge act. Grow up.

Welcome to the DOGE Subcommittee—this is what it has become. They can gavel me all day—but I will always fight for what is right—at home and in Washington.

Texas spends less per resident on indigent defense than all but four other states. And while more than half of the country pays for defense lawyers entirely at the state level, in Texas the counties shoulder about 85 percent of the costs. www.expressnews.com/news/texas/a...
You Have the Right to an Attorney. But in rural Texas, Don’t Count on It.
Despite the constitutional right to a lawyer, many rural Texans face court alone before legally untrained judges.

Stop being mad at the the Dems for not being sufficiently left. Thats not who they are.

Say it with me: there is no viable leftist party in America. Dems are centrist corporatists. Reps are oligarchic fascists.
