#Resist. The arc of the moral universe bends if enough people grab hold & pull hard. Democracy or Fascism? There is only one choice if you believe in America. Blocking posters trashing Dems.

By bringing us a bill like this, Trump and the Republicans intend a deliberate ruination of our People and our Country.
There are NO POSITIVES except to the very, very rich.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

🚨 💰 WOW — @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn snuck a provision into the spending bill that would let them sue the government for $500,000 because Jack Smith looked into their phone records around Trump’s insurrection.

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.
Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Instead of selling out, these 8 should have watched 'The Last Republican' and learned from @adamkinzinger.substack.com how to stand strong in the face of evil.
1. @schumer.senate.gov needs to step down for failing to keep his party members in line.
2. A new @democrats.senate.gov
minority leader needs to punish the eight. Strip them of every position and perk.
3. @dscc.bsky.social needs to identify people to primary every one of them.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.
