This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Thank you to the 96% of Senate and House Dems who voted with the people and for America and against the authoritarian coup!

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more.

And you know what? I’m still mad as hell.

I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

There are no words in the English language sufficient to describe how heartburstingly angry I am at the 8 traitors who just sold us all down the river.

It is our job as Americans to make sure they can NEVER appear in public life EVER again.

Die wretched and alone, unloved by your country.

I wish I lived in a country where Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman had at least half the balls of Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Merkley: "I am even more hell no. You don't stop a bully by handing over your lunch money, and you don't stop a tyrant by giving him more power. That is exactly what this House Republican spending bill does."

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

We don’t need an amendment to the CR. What we need is a CLEAN CR and the Democrats should settle for nothing less.

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

it's not impossible that some of the other Dems who were planning on joining Schumer would see the centrist outrage about it and change their mind, so keep at it

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.
