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.

The American people need more from their leaders.

1 in 12 Americans live in California.

1 in 35 Americans live in LA County.

LA is America
not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

Rocky Mountain Institute research reveals upzoning just 3.6% of city parcels in its analysis of Denver, Charlotte, and Austin can reduce driving 11-34% within city limits. These transit-oriented reforms create housing while helping meet climate goals.
The Keys to the Low-Carbon City: Pro-Housing Land Use Reform
Cities often overlook land use reforms as tools to reduce climate pollution, but such reforms are among the most highly-leveraged (and under-utilized) tools at the disposal of urban leaders.

it is VERY important that anyone who lives in wisconsin votes for crawford for wisconsin supreme court on april 1st. wisconsin is only just starting to recover from the damage of the scott walker era and this would help solidify a new era in the state
Musk is now way over $20 million deep into his attempt to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. The direct effects of Wisconsin's majority will be enormous. But there's now another huge question at play: can Musk buy whatever election he wants? If Crawford wins, his perceived political power collapses.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days.

At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months.

deeply annoyed that of the 8 vichy democrats that aren't (as of now) planning to retire, only durbin is up in 2026 for us to replace. Most are 2028, and king (yes, yes, 'independent') and gillibrand are 2030. But if they think we're going to forget they're sorely mistaken.

I remember all you moderates telling us that we couldn’t get rid of the filibuster because we would need it in the future.

WELL, THIS IS THE FUCKING FUTURE!
You failed. You are no longer leading, although you have been pretty lame for some time.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.
