The Senate Dems that caved… after a big win last Tuesday, after polling blamed MAGA for the shutdown, after the momentum Dems had, caving to getting nothing… those Dems who caved, to all the good that *HAD* momentum to get concessions…

My god, Trump is disgracing Arlington National Cemetery… again
Can’t he just honor those who wore the uniform, and make today about our thanks to them?

It was likely not an accident the term stormtrooper in 1977 was used in Star Wars, describing Empire’s fascist army and reminding us all of 1930’s Germany
Now, tell me this picture in 2025 America isn’t the Star Wars warning?

The Trump Brown Shirts, like any fascist military, pose at landmarks to mock our freedom
No different than *ANY* other fascist regime occupying … freedom
If they have time to pose for this garbage, how can anyone say Chicago needs occupying military forces?

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

We are living under fascism
Trump is an authoritarian dictator
It’s not MAGA that should scare you going forward, it’s the Vichy Republicans that will aid Trump’s continued march to purposely dismantle the republic… even more
Institutionalist Dems are Vichy too, FYI

Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.
The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

If you’re blaming … IL Dems… for the Rauner pain… odd are you won’t understand why it was important Dems stood up to Rauner at all
Dems had a majority in both chambers of the state lege (and a supermajority in one), state employees never missed a paycheck, and three state universities were devastated and still haven't come close to recovering nearly a decade later. I'm glad they fought Rauner but this is not a good analogy.
Illinois Democrats never caved to Bruce Rauner

When Lincoln forgave the confederates, I dunno if Lincoln realized that Trump forgiving insurrectionists and those who tried to overturn a fair and free election would claim to be “like Lincoln”
Every day we get closer to a truth we lost the Cold War and the Confederacy won American governing?

We are at the point of the film where if Trump asked the House to suspend all elections, there would be “eight or so senate democrats” willing to pass the measure too

On a morning like this, I can’t help but think about institutionalist Dem Merrick Garland… who betrayed the republic and his own oath that *personally* helped Trump survive and come back to tear down the republic

Durbin can’t leave soon enough
Durbin is a YES on this deal: “At Democrats’ urging, today’s bill is not the same one we’ve voted down 14 times. Republicans finally woke up and realized their Groundhog Day needed to end. This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their shutdown’s hurt.”

This was a Senate leadership deal with a structured roll call. The real question is if Sen. Duckworth still supports Senate leadership after they made that deal. If she does, then her statement means little. I've asked her staff
Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them.
I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.
