@schumer.senate.gov there is still time to act with integrity and vote no on cloture and this harmful legislation. Or go ahead and support Trump, Musk and their Republican supplicants and forevermore carry that shame.

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.

PORT OF ENTRY: A Short Film YouTube video by aptpchicago

This short film released today by APTP is a gift for us all.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.
