Imagine if the Captain of the Titanic saw the iceberg from a mile away but was too afraid to change course.

Inconceivable, right?

Well, let me tell you about a guy by the name of Chuck Schumer…

Trump flipped Bucks County, a swing county in Pennsylvania, last year.

The GOP sheriff enthusiastically followed his lead, partnering with ICE to help Trump’s deportations.

Dems flipped the office by 11% last week, ousting the sheriff after promising to end the ICE contact.

A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

NEW: SCOTUS extends the administrative stay on the SNAP ruling, letting Trump continue to deny full benefits while the shutdown continues.

Justice Jackson notes her dissent.
UPDATE: Trump administration confirms it continues to seek a stay to deny full food stamp benefits but says the application may soon be mooted when the government reopens

Democrats are so amateurish and naive to act on a promise of behavior in the future by people who shamelessly lie about their behavior in the past every single day.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

Schumer’s resume:

- gets outfoxed by McConnell during two Trump impeachments

- consistently fails to whip the vote when it matters

- folds like a cheap lawn chair under pressure

- thumbs his nose at new progressive candidates

It’s like we brought reading glasses to a gun fight.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

The Senate late Sunday night passed the first stage of a deal that would end the U.S. government shutdown, which began on Oct. 1.

The deal does not include what had been the key demand for Democrats: an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits. cnb.cx/4qSCvcW

All this so the Court can decide how to handle this by late Tuesday night, when the administrative stay issued on Friday night expires

SNAP at SCOTUS: Justice Jackson issues supplementary order giving the Trump administration until 4 PM today to file a brief justifying its request to deny full food stamp benefits, with plaintiffs’ brief due tomorrow at 8 AM.

At 11:54 p.m. ET, the First Circuit *denied* the Trump administration's request for a stay pending appeal in the SNAP case.

#SCOTUS now has 48 hours (so, through 11:54 p.m. on Tuesday) to either grant the same relief or extend the "administrative stay" entered by Justice Jackson on Friday night.

Republicans don’t care if you starve or die from lack of health care, as long as they can prevent the release of the #EpsteinFiles.

The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.
