"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Delphy: scalable, near-real-time Bayesian phylogenetics for outbreaks

Call your senators and let them know if they join Schumer here you will never give them another dime or another vote and you’ll devote your time and money to anyone who primaries them.
If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.
Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

Democrats should back away from shutdown, Schumer says
The minority leader's remarks are a clear indication that the Senate will vote to advance a GOP stopgap.

The coolest experience I had last year was visiting this museum in western Uzbekistan that houses the 2nd largest collection of Soviet avant-garde art in the world, which was safeguarded in the middle of the desert when it became illegal and replaced by Socialist Realism.
