Looks like Schumer was at the Gym again chatting up GOP.
From 3/16/25 NY Times,
“He [Trump] was at 51, he’s now at 48, we’re going to keep at it, keep at it, keep at it until he goes below 40. When it happens, I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will resume working with us,”
Despicable.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

You forgot the word “illegally”. They illegally canceled these projects that Congress already voted to appropriate funds for. Hope that helps.

A reminder that the GOP loves what's going on. They don't want to stop it. Vance dismissed any Nazi ties just yesterday.
Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.
This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”
